Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04136782RecruitingPhase 4
Tests two chemo drug combinations for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 4 trial compares two chemotherapy combinations to treat stage II–III triple-negative breast cancer. It looks for which regimen works better and is tolerated in people with measurable tumors and good overall health.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–70 - NCT04137653RecruitingPhase 3
New pre-surgery drug choice for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests which chemotherapy drug works better before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to underarm lymph nodes. It compares two forms of paclitaxel given by random assignment to see which option may shrink the tumor more effectively and improve outcomes.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–70 - NCT04476485Recruiting
Predicting breast cancer recurrence after extended hormone therapy
This trial looks at factors that may predict whether hormone receptor–positive breast cancer will come back after you’ve already completed 5 years of hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help identify who benefits most from longer treatment and follow-up.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–70 - NCT04261829Recruiting
Full method for breast reconstruction after mastectomy
This trial tests a “full breast reconstruction” approach for people who are planning or have had a breast removal (mastectomy). It may help improve how reconstruction is done and whether you can use the external expansion device as part of the process.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04300686RecruitingPhase 4
Pilot study for severe Takayasu artery inflammation
This trial studies treatment options for people age 14 and older with severe, active Takayasu arteritis causing major circulation problems and organ strain. It may help reduce inflammation and complications when the disease is flaring and difficult to control.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–100 - NCT04993014RecruitingPhase 2
De-escalating treatment after HER2-positive breast cancer responds
This study looks at whether some people with HER2-positive breast cancer can safely receive less (de-escalated) treatment after they finish chemotherapy plus HER2-targeted drugs before surgery. It specifically focuses on people whose cancer shows a complete response on the surgery pathology report.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04604990Recruiting
National lupus patient study for adults in Saudi Arabia
This study follows adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) to better understand the condition over time. If you meet common lupus diagnosis standards, you may be able to join—there’s no limit on when you were diagnosed.
Riyadh, Central ProvinceAges 19 years+ - NCT03269630Recruiting
Pulmonary hypertension biobank for heart-lung blood samples
This study collects and stores health information and possibly blood samples from people being evaluated for pulmonary hypertension or related autoimmune conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these illnesses and may support future studies.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05057598Recruiting
Online study for women with breast cancer experiences
This study asks women with breast cancer to take part in an online, before-and-after research project. It may help researchers understand your experiences and improve support for people living with breast cancer, including those with relapse or spread to other parts of the body.
Milan, MIAges 18–90 - NCT05059379RecruitingPhase 3
Different radiation fields after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT01638676RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing vemurafenib plus metformin for BRAF-mutated melanoma
This study tests whether adding metformin to vemurafenib can shrink advanced melanoma in people with a specific gene change (BRAF V600E). It’s an early-phase trial, so the main goal is to see if the combination is safe and whether it may work better than expected.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03845946Recruiting
CLOUD-R HAE registry for hereditary angioedema patients
This registry study collects information from people with hereditary angioedema (swelling episodes) and related types, with or without a C1-related blood condition. It may help doctors better understand different patterns of swelling and improve future care.
