Alternating treatment for advanced lung and head-neck cancers
This Phase 2 study tests an approach that alternates treatments for advanced lung cancer or recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds while managing side effects differently than standard back-to-back therapy.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07544056RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
BEBT-209 Plus Chemotherapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This study tests a new drug called BEBT-209 combined with chemotherapy (carboplatin and gemcitabine) in women with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or stop cancer growth better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07522151RecruitingPhase 3
Adebrelimab with Surgery for Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy and surgery for stomach cancer or junction cancers (where the stomach meets the esophagus). The goal is to see if this treatment helps prevent cancer from coming back after surgery.

SYN818 for advanced solid tumors with DNA repair defects
This trial tests a new drug called SYN818 for people with advanced breast, ovarian, prostate, or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It is designed for patients whose tumors have a specific DNA repair problem (BRCA mutation or other HR pathway deficiency).
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07141407Recruiting
Phone coaching to help plan cancer care
This study tests whether telephone coaching sessions can help people with advanced cancer and their caregivers talk about and plan for future medical care. You and a support person would join coaching calls together.
Everett, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06900595RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib with immunotherapy for advanced adrenal cancer
This trial tests adding the targeted drug cabozantinib to the immunotherapy cemiplimab for people with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It checks if the combination works better than cabozantinib alone.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05582499RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant treatment study for certain breast cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a “precision platform” approach—treatment before surgery—based on specific test results from your breast tumor. It may help determine whether the treatment plan works better for people with particular breast cancer subtypes and healthy organ function.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06201234RecruitingPhase 2
Adding elacestrant to olaparib for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests if adding a new oral medicine (elacestrant) to a standard PARP inhibitor (olaparib) works better for people with advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if the combination can help control the cancer longer.
Stuttgart, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07602907RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose paclitaxel with immunotherapy for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose oral paclitaxel (a chemotherapy pill taken regularly) plus immunotherapy to treat advanced breast cancer that doesn't have high levels of HER2 protein. The goal is to slow or shrink tumors while managing side effects better than traditional high-dose chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06894797Recruiting
Chemo and radiation before and after surgery for rectal cancer
This study tests a sequence of chemotherapy and radiation before and after surgery for rectal cancer. It compares giving more chemo between the end of radiation and surgery (consolidation) versus giving some chemo before radiation starts (induction). The goal is to see which order works better.
