This research study is a randomized controlled trial that will observe changes in microbiome activity, changes in chemotherapy toxicity, and any changes in treatment outcomes between two groups of participants undergoing chemotherapy with either early-stage or metastatic colorectal cancer. The names of the study groups involved in this study are: * Exercise * Waitlist Control

Phase 1 and 2 trial to study the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of TAS0953/HM06 in patients with advanced solid tumors with RET gene abnormalities. Phase 1 aims to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and identify the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) to be used in phase 2.

This phase I trial studies how well fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in patients with solid tumors. Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace is a radioactive tracer, a type of imaging agent that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body to help with imaging scans. PET/CT uses a scanner to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body. PET/CT with Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace may allow more tumor cells to be found in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This pilot clinical trial looks at whether patient navigation services, an interactive web education intervention, called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC), or both navigation and CTAC works to improve the uptake of surveillance in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC). Post-treatment surveillance is critical to detect recurrence early, yet many CRC survivors do not receive recommended surveillance care. Surveillance is a complex process that includes laboratory tests, cross-sectional imaging, and endoscopic procedures. Patient navigation services, interactive web education, or a combination of both may improve surveillance care for patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer.

This study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy of ASKC202 combined with Limertinib Versus platinum-based chemotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC With MET Amplification/Overexpression after disease progression on EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Lazertinib is currently approved as a first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant NSCLC in South Korea. However, many patients experience peripheral neuropathy, which causes severe numbness, tingling, or painful muscle cramps. This side effect significantly lowers patients' quality of life and often leads to treatment interruptions. This phase 2, open-label, randomized clinical trial newly diagnosed EGFR mutant NSCLC patients is based on the hypothesis that a lower dose of lazertinib combined with magnesium supplementation will result in a more tolerable safety profile without compromising efficacy outcomes

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-711 as a monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab (ABBV-181) in adults with advanced squamous tumors. ABBV-711 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of solid tumors. There are multiple treatment arms in this study. Participants will either receive ABBV-711 as a single agent or in combination with budigalimab (another investigational drug) at different doses. Approximately 220 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across 40 sites worldwide. In part 1, oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given in escalating doses alone to participants with squamous (sq) tumors. In part 2 oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given at a selected dose from part 1 to participants with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC), or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In part 3, oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given in escalating doses in combination with intravenously (IV) infused budigalimab to participants with sq tumors. In part 4 oral ABBV-711 tablets will be given at a selected dose from part 3 in combination with IV infused budigalimab to participants with sqNSCLC, or HNSCC. The estimated duration of the study is up to approximately 5 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent questionnaire, medical assessments, blood tests, and scans.

This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability to determine (i) the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of VMD-102 (Phase 1), and (ii) preliminary anti-tumor efficacy (Phase 2), in participants with advanced HCC, metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal cancer (CRC). The pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary anti-tumor activity, and potential biomarkers of VMD-102 will also be assessed. VMD-102 will be the first selective PKC epsilon (PKCε or PKCe) kinase inhibitor to enter human clinical testing. Preclinical VMD-102 anti-tumor activities in mouse liver/HCC tumor models and preclinical toxicology and pharmacology studies support this study.

Based on the UPGRADE-TNBC study, a high-quality TNBC sample repository was established. By integrating multi-source data-including clinical information, radiomics, pathological images, and molecular sequencing-and innovatively incorporating a meta-learning strategy, a treatment response prediction model based on multimodal small-sample learning was developed. This approach aims to optimize drug combinations and precisely identify patient subgroups likely to benefit from treatment, thereby providing a new paradigm for personalized therapy in early-stage TNBC.

This study is evaluating whether acupuncture may help reduce hot flashes in men receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Hot flashes are a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and may negatively affect sleep, mood, concentration, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Participants enrolled in this study will receive acupuncture treatment over a defined treatment period. The study will assess changes in hot flash frequency, severity, and quality of life using patient questionnaires and symptom diaries. Participants will complete a daily hot flash diary during selected 7-day assessment periods and quality-of-life questionnaires during study visits. The primary goal of this study is to determine whether acupuncture may improve hot flash symptoms and related quality of life in men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.

In this observational study, participants receive darolutamide: a treatment that is already available for doctors to prescribe for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) or metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men, and the number of cases is rising, especially in China. Many men are diagnosed at a late stage, which makes treatment more difficult. Standard treatment for prostate cancer often includes lowering the levels of male hormones (androgens) in the body, as these hormones can help the cancer grow. This is called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Sometimes, medicines like bicalutamide are added to ADT, but over time, the cancer can become resistant to these treatments. When this happens and the cancer has not yet spread to other parts of the body, it is called nmCRPC. Newer agents, such as darolutamide, have demonstrated efficacy in controlling the disease and delaying progression, with a more favorable safety profile and fewer severe adverse events than conventional therapies. This study wants to observe how effective darolutamide plus ADT is at controlling the cancer in Chinese men with nmCRPC who have already been treated with bicalutamide plus ADT during an earlier stage of their disease, known as non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC), but whose cancer has since progressed despite that treatment. The study will look at how many participants have their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels drop to undetectable levels within 6 months of starting darolutamide (in the main group of 800 participants). PSA is a protein made by the prostate, and high levels can be a sign of prostate cancer. In a smaller group of 100 participants, the study will also look at how many men remain free from PSA progression (a sign that the cancer is not getting worse) after 12 months. To learn more about the safety of darolutamide, the researchers will study whether the participants have adverse events. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. The researchers will also learn more about how well darolutamide is working in these participants.

This Phase 1 study will assess the safety of a novel brain Bispecific T cell engager (BRiTE) in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 4 glioblastoma (GBM). Owing to its short half-life, the study drug, BRiTE, will be continuously infused intravenously (IV) for 4 days (96 hours) in a 28-day cycle. Given that BRiTE specifically exerts its effects on tumor cells expressing the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) mutation, we will only enroll patients with EGFRvIII-positive tumors in this study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of continually infused BRiTE in ndGBM and rGBM patients and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for continuously infused BRiTE.

The purpose of the registry is to evaluate real-world safety, efficacy, and patient reported outcomes among participants receiving Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation System therapy (Vanquish Therapy). This includes longitudinal assessment of patients who have received or will receive the therapy one or multiple times as part of routine clinical care and encompasses those who completed a company-sponsored Vanquish therapy study (as applicable).

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if sorbitol works to enhance the therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with Tirellizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. It will also learn about the safety of sorbitol. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does sorbitol enhance the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy and increase the major response rate in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer? Does sorbitol with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with Tirellizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) can improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer? Researchers will compare sorbitol to a standard-of-care treatment (aPD-1 + SOX chemotherapy) to see if sorbitol works to enhance the therapeutic effect (Add-on Effect) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with Tirellizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Participants will: Take sorbitol every day for 3 months in 3 treatment cycles Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use a rescue inhaler Participants will follow up as planned until PD occurs, informed consent is withdrawn, or follow-up is lost (whichever occurs first). After the end of treatment and safety follow-up, all subjects will be followed up for survival (OS data collected every 3 months ±14 days).

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm, open-label, phase Ib, dose escalation/dose expansion study of PTM-101 when combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of treatment-naïve subjects with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

This study is a prospective, randomized, non-controlled, open-label clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combined with apatinib mesylate and albumin-bound paclitaxel, as well as apatinib mesylate combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel, in treating advanced second-line gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The study's primary endpoint is median progression-free survival (mPFS), and it plans to enroll 50 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who failed first-line systemic therapy. This is a randomized, non-controlled, open-label trial. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either adebrelimab combined with apatinib mesylate and albumin-bound paclitaxel (Cohort 1) or apatinib mesylate combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel (Cohort 2). The screening phase is 28 days. After completing screening tests and assessments, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to the following treatments: Cohort 1: * Adebrelimab: 1200 mg, IV infusion, once every 21 days, until PD or intolerance, maximum use 2 years; * Apatinib mesylate: 250 mg, orally, once daily, days 1-21; until PD or intolerance, maximum use 2 years; * Albumin-bound paclitaxel: 200-260 mg/m², IV infusion, day 1, once every 21 days, for 4-6 cycles. Cohort 2: * Apatinib mesylate: 250 mg, orally, once daily, days 1-21; until PD or intolerance, maximum use 2 years; * Albumin-bound paclitaxel: 200-260 mg/m², IV infusion, day 1, once every 21 days, for 4-6 cycles.

This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intra- and post-operative microdialysis during neurosurgery for central nervous system malignancies. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of disease state. Information collected in this study may help doctors develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate whether the NEO-Match® test, based on ARTIDIS nanomechanical profiling technology, can help predict treatment outcomes and improve clinical decision-making in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer undergoing biopsy. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Can the NEO-Match® test predict how patients respond to neoadjuvant (pre-surgical) treatment for pancreatic cancer? * How well does the NEO-Match® test detect malignant pancreatic lesions compared to standard histopathological assessment? This is a prospective, single-arm study. Researchers will compare results from the NEO-Match® test with standard clinical outcomes, imaging findings, and pathology results to evaluate its predictive and diagnostic performance. Participants will: * Undergo a standard-of-care pancreatic biopsy or surgical procedure * Provide an additional biopsy sample for research analysis using the ARTIDIS ART-1 device * Continue to receive standard treatment and care, which is not influenced by the study * Have clinical data, imaging results, and treatment outcomes collected * Be followed every 3 months for up to 2 years The study does not involve experimental treatment or changes to standard medical care. The information collected may help improve future diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection for patients with pancreatic cancer.

This study is a prospective, real-world study intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon alpha-2b (PegIntron®) combined with targeted immunotherapy in patients with unresectable intermediate and advanced chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma. This study intends to enroll 20 patients with unresectable intermediate and advanced chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma who have previously undergone and are currently receiving nucleoside (nucleotide) analog therapy. Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria after evaluation will receive Pegasys® combined with targeted immunotherapy. Both targeted therapy and PD-1 inhibitors will be selected based on actual clinical decision-making, using standard therapeutic drugs recommended by the CSCO guidelines. During the study, each 6 weeks will be defined as a treatment cycle, and treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Follow-up will be completed according to the protocol until the end of the study.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan's (T-DXd's) efficacy and safety has been confirmed in traditional clinical trials, there is a lack of real-world evidence, especially among Chinese patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate real-world effectiveness and safety profile of T-DXd by collecting real-world data treating in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

This is a Single-arm, Open-label, Phase 1b/2 Study of IBI343 Combined with Sintilimab Plus Chemotherapy in Previously Untreated, Claudin (CLDN) 18.2-positive, HER2-negative, Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

Removing a large part of the liver (major hepatectomy) can cure primary and secondary liver cancers, but it carries the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), a serious complication in which the liver left behind - the future liver remnant (FLR) - cannot meet the body's metabolic needs. PHLF occurs after roughly 5% to 15% of major hepatectomies and is the leading cause of postoperative death. Before surgery, surgeons routinely use CT scans to measure how much liver will remain (CT volumetry). Volume alone does not tell the whole story. After a large resection the remaining liver can rotate and shift into the empty space left behind, kinking or compressing the veins that drain it. The resulting congestion can make an apparently adequate remnant fail. This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study tests whether adding two elements to standard CT volumetry improves the preoperative prediction of liver failure: 1. Hepatic vascular deformation mapping (VDM), a three-dimensional image-analysis technique that quantifies the geometry and displacement of the hepatic veins and the portal vein; and 2. A set of simple, reproducible measurements that any radiologist can make on a standard CT scan (hepatic vein diameters, congestion index, spleen volume, liver attenuation, and the distances from the veins to the planned resection plane). Consecutive adults undergoing major hepatic resection (three or more Couinaud segments) at several tertiary hepatobiliary centers will be enrolled. The preoperative CT scans already performed as part of routine care are analyzed centrally by a core imaging laboratory. There is no additional imaging, no extra hospital visit, and no study-specific intervention: every patient receives standard surgical care. Participants are followed for at least 30 days after surgery to record liver failure (International Study Group of Liver Surgery criteria, operationalized by the "50-50" rule on postoperative day 5) and radiologic evidence of hepatic congestion. Three nested prediction models are compared - volumetry alone; volumetry plus VDM; and volumetry plus VDM plus the simple radiology parameters - and the best-performing model is converted into a practical risk score. Because the study runs across several centers, the model can be validated by leaving one center out at a time, which gives an honest estimate of how well it would perform at a new hospital. The goal is a generalizable, easy-to-use tool that tells surgeons, before the operation, which patients are genuinely at risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure.

The goal of this clinical trial is to discover the prevalence of NHPH bacteria (Non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter species) in patients with one of the following conditions: 1. Functional dyspepsia following the Rome IV criteria 2. Active chronic gastritis, non-H. pylori induced atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and non-H.pylori gastric dysplasia 3. Gastric cancer, including siewert type 2 and 3 esophagastric junction cancers In addition, patients undergoing bariatric surgery are included as a control group. This study will be conducted using a prospective analysis in the three targeted study populations. Biopsy specimens routinely taken during the medical procedure or via the resected material in patients belonging to the target groups will be used. Exclusion criteria: * Patients with a history of H. pylori infection diagnosed by serology, on gastric biopsy, by breath test or on antigen test in stool samples. * Pregnancy. * Underage patients (\< 18 years).

In patients who has no sign suggesting high lung shunt fraction (TIPS, hepatic vein invasion, hepatic vein enhancement on arterial phase, dysmorphic intratumoral vessel, tumor size \< 5cm), radioembolization is performed without MAA scan with SIR-Spheres. This prospective registry will prove that the selection criteria is accurate and streamlining radioembolization is feasible and safe.

This phase III trial compares the effect of decreased number of radiation (ultra-hypofractionated) treatments to the usual radiation number of treatments (hypofractionation) with standard of care chemotherapy, with cisplatin, gemcitabine or mitomycin and 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a short period of time. Ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers radiation over an even shorter period of time than hypofractionated radiation therapy. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as mitomycin-C and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ultra-hypofractionated radiation may be equally effective as hypofractionated therapy for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.
