Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04595929Recruiting
Tested aerosol chemotherapy inside the abdomen for stomach cancer
This trial looks at a way to give chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small tube during laparoscopy) for certain stomach cancers. It aims to see whether this approach improves cancer control and surgical outcomes for people whose tumors can potentially be removed.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–65 - NCT07051083Recruiting
Bladder cancer staging trial using AI on imaging scans
This trial uses artificial intelligence to look at ultrasound and other scans to better stage bladder cancer and predict if chemotherapy before surgery might work. It may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07478900Recruiting
Tattoo marking breast tumors before chemo
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+ - NCT07260175RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib maintenance for IDH1-mutated bile duct cancer
This trial tests a targeted pill called ivosidenib for people with a specific type of bile duct cancer (IDH1-mutated) who have completed surgery and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if taking ivosidenib as a maintenance therapy helps keep the cancer from coming back.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT06656598RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant treatment for elderly or unfit patients with stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called cemiplimab to chemotherapy, followed by radiation, can help older or less fit patients with stage III lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes compared to usual care.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07751302Recruiting
Follow-up vs. chemo after surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial compares two approaches after surgery for early-stage stomach or GEJ cancer: close monitoring (follow-up) vs. adjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given after surgery). It aims to see if follow-up alone is as good as chemo for patients with this stage, potentially avoiding chemo side effects.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT04504747Recruiting
Real-time breast cancer testing during chemotherapy
This trial studies real-time molecular testing in people with breast cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to learn how the cancer changes during treatment and whether this helps guide care around surgery and radiation.
Marseille, MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06257017RecruitingPhase 2
Using DNA tests to guide chemotherapy after bladder cancer surgery
This trial checks if a DNA blood test can help decide who needs extra chemo after bladder or upper urinary tract cancer surgery. It tests whether watching for cancer DNA in the blood can match patients to the right treatment.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT06068023Recruiting
Chemotherapy after surgery for ampullary cancer
This study tests whether giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) helps prevent ampullary cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their ampullary cancer completely removed and are in reasonably good health.
Brescia, BSAges 18–100 - NCT06953882RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping chemo after surgery for ER+ HER2- breast cancer
This study tests whether some people with a certain type of breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative) can safely skip chemotherapy. After surgery, they receive a targeted pill (ribociclib) plus hormone therapy instead. The goal is to see if this approach works just as well with fewer side effects.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06813976RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy after surgery for ampullary cancer
This trial compares two types of chemotherapy to see which works better after surgery for ampullary cancer. One treatment is a stronger combination (FOLFIRINOX), and the other is a single drug (capecitabine or gemcitabine). It is for people whose cancer was completely removed by surgery and who have no spread to other organs.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06897228RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell injection with chemo after solid tumor surgery
This trial tests an experimental NK cell therapy (PANK-003) given along with standard chemotherapy after surgery for solid tumors. The goal is to see if adding these immune cells can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Anyang, HenanAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05174169RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Adjuvant colon chemotherapy guided by tumor DNA results
This trial tests whether treatment for colon cancer after surgery can be guided by a blood test that looks for leftover cancer signals (ctDNA). It may help some people choose stronger or different chemo based on whether ctDNA is found after surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07106632RecruitingPhase 3
Genomic test to guide chemotherapy in young women with breast cancer
This trial uses a genomic test called Prosigna to help decide whether young women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer need chemotherapy after surgery. It aims to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy in those who can safely skip it.
BrusselsAges 35–45 - NCT03201861RecruitingPhase 3
Cisplatin added after surgery for high-risk breast cancer
This trial checks whether adding cisplatin to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps women with high-risk early-stage breast cancer lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You would be followed to see how well treatment works and whether it is tolerated.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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 - 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+ - NCT04084496RecruitingPhase 2
FOLFIRINOX chemo after surgery for pancreatic cancer
