Heat treatment for chronic acid reflux (AREA study)
This trial tests a new way to treat GERD (chronic acid reflux) using a tiny camera and a device that delivers a gentle heat treatment (argon plasma coagulation) to the area where the stomach meets the esophagus. It's compared to a 'sham' procedure (you won't know which you get) to see if it stops acid from backing up better than medicine alone.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–70 - NCT06641713Recruiting
Comparing two liver cancer treatments for large tumors
This trial compares two treatments for people with large liver tumors. One is a liver artery chemotherapy infusion and the other is a chemo-embolization procedure. The study will see which approach works better.

Using CGM to predict prediabetes in cystic fibrosis
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a small sensor worn on the skin, to track blood sugar levels in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to find patterns that might predict who will develop diabetes, so it can be caught earlier.

Irinotecan liposome combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new form of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan (called irinotecan liposome) combined with two other chemo drugs and a targeted therapy (bevacizumab) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has already been treated with oxaliplatin. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.

TACE with Icaritin after surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted medicine (Icaritin) with a procedure that delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver (TACE) after surgery. It is for people with liver cancer who have a high chance of the cancer coming back, to see if this treatment helps prevent recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06645236Recruiting
Testing for a specific KRAS mutation in tumor tissue
This study tests your tumor tissue for a specific change in the KRAS gene called G12C. Finding this mutation may help guide treatment options for certain cancers.
Manchester, ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06645808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for various solid tumors
This study uses a special PET scan to see if a new imaging agent can help find and monitor certain solid tumors. It is for people with colon, rectal, sarcoma, breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, stomach, pancreas, bladder cancers, or glioblastoma who have had standard treatment before surgery.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06646341Recruiting
Can scan findings predict colorectal cancer spread?
This study looks at whether signs of blood vessel involvement (called EMVI) seen on scans can predict if colorectal cancer spreads to other organs. You might join if you already had surgery to remove the cancer from the colon or rectum and any distant tumors, and your before-surgery scans are available for review.
Basingstoke, HampshireAges 16–100 - NCT06646588RecruitingPhase 2
Study of fruquintinib, tislelizumab, and radiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (fruquintinib and tislelizumab) followed by radiation therapy for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06646809RecruitingPhase 3
Reducing inflammation after colorectal cancer surgery trial
This trial tests a way to reduce inflammation after planned colorectal cancer surgery. It may help you recover better and have fewer complications.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 45 years+ - NCT06647043Recruiting
Can synbiotics help irritable bowel syndrome?
This study tests whether a synbiotic (a mix of good bacteria and fiber) can improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), especially for people with diarrhea-predominant or mixed type IBS, or functional diarrhea.
Kubang Kerian, KelantanAges 18–70 - NCT06647615Recruiting
Virtual reality for stomach pain in Crohn's disease
This study tests if using a virtual reality (VR) program can help reduce stomach pain in people with Crohn's disease that is not currently active. You will try the VR experience and report how your pain changes.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06647680RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) given before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes compared to standard treatment.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06648057Recruiting
Predictors of response in biliary tract cancer
This trial is looking at how certain markers in your blood or tissue (biomarkers) might predict how well the combination of Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab works against advanced biliary tract cancer. If you're already scheduled to receive these two drugs, researchers want to learn more from your samples to help future patients.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT06648434RecruitingPhase 1
MK2 inhibitor plus mFOLFIRINOX for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called zunsemetinib (an MK2 inhibitor) combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06649123Recruiting
