This trial tests a simple method: marking the tumor with a small tattoo before chemotherapy. The tattoo helps surgeons find the exact spot for lumpectomy after the tumor shrinks, so you can keep more of your breast.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–75 - NCT04997837RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant chemo with or without PD-1 for stomach cancer after surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding an immune medicine called PD-1 (given as an “inhibitor”) to standard chemotherapy and chemoradiation after stomach/GEJ cancer surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back. You may qualify if you’ve had surgery removing the tumor and lymph nodes showed higher-risk disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07149363RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy after surgery for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (durvalumab) to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their cancer completely removed and are well enough to start treatment soon after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03961373RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer lymph node surgery after chemo for stomach cancer
This study compares two surgical approaches to remove lymph nodes after you’ve already had chemotherapy for stomach cancer. It aims to see whether removing lymph nodes in a more extended way improves outcomes without causing unacceptable side effects.
SienaAges 18–80 - NCT04063527RecruitingPhase 3
Stage I ovarian cancer treatment after surgery
This trial studies whether an additional treatment after surgery can help people with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer live longer and stay well for more time. It is meant for patients who had a detailed staging operation and are able to start treatment within 8 weeks.
Nagakute-shi, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT05194878RecruitingPhase 3
Before-surgery chemotherapy vs immediate surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy before surgery versus going straight to surgery for certain stage II/III colon cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by testing which approach works best for high-risk cases.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04520074RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo after surgery for BRCA1/2 wild-type ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies a three-step “extra” chemotherapy plan after surgery for people with certain advanced ovarian, fallopian-tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. The goal is to improve outcomes by lowering the chance the cancer comes back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05529615Recruiting
Blood DNA test guides chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery
This trial checks a blood test called circulating tumor DNA to help choose the best time and approach for chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery. It aims to reduce recurrence by identifying people who may benefit from treatment based on changes seen in the blood.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03466424Recruiting
Short radiation then chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation given before chemotherapy for people with locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue and/or nearby lymph nodes but can still be removed). It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective while assessing how well this approach works.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT04803539RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
ctDNA-guided booster treatment after chemo for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial uses a blood test called ctDNA to see who is at higher risk after surgery and standard chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. If your ctDNA test is positive, you may receive an extra “boost” treatment to help reduce the chance the cancer returns.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04409860Recruiting
Adjuvant chemo after chemoradiation for advanced cervical cancer
This trial looks at whether adding chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer. You may be eligible if your MRI after treatment still shows leftover tumor areas and your health and blood tests are within required limits.
