This study compares two treatment combinations for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. One group gets TACE (a procedure that blocks blood flow to the tumor and delivers chemo directly) plus immunotherapy and a targeted drug. The other group gets HAIC (a conti…

This early-phase trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-ITNK cells, designed to target two proteins (CD70 and CLL1) on leukemia cells. It will enroll 30 adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have not responded to standard treatments. Parti…

This early-phase trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy that targets two proteins (CD19 and CD22) on cancer cells. It is for people with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Participants receive a single infusion of these modif…

This early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called ACE1831 for people with lupus that has not responded to standard therapies. ACE1831 is made from healthy donor immune cells and is given after a short course of chemotherapy. The study will enroll 22 adults aged 18 to 60 wi…

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs (toripalimab and RC48-ADC) plus radiation in 45 people with HER2-positive muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can eliminate the cancer and allow patients to keep their bladder after initial chemot…

This Phase 3 trial will test whether glimepiride, a standard diabetes pill, can reduce the risk of heart-related death, heart transplant, or worsening heart failure in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic heart failure. About 1,484 participants will receive either glimepiride …

This study tests whether a lab-made version of bezoar, called Calculus Bovis Sativus (CBS), can help people recover from a brain hemorrhage. 300 participants will take CBS or natural bezoar pills for 7 days. Researchers will measure recovery using standard stroke scales and brain…

This study will test a new blood test that looks for DNA changes to detect ovarian cancer, especially in early stages. Researchers will compare test results from 1,000 women with and without ovarian cancer to see how accurate it is. If it works well, it could lead to a simple scr…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks for specific DNA changes (methylation) to monitor if liver cancer comes back after treatment. Researchers will enroll 162 adults with liver cancer who have had surgery, transplant, ablation, or chemoembolization. The test's accura…
