Chiauranib for advanced cancers that returned or won’t respond
This Phase 1/2 study tests chiauranib in people with advanced solid cancers (including small cell lung cancer) that have come back or no longer respond to standard treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can help shrink tumors.
Encinitas, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05283044Recruiting
Precision medicine testing for advanced, hard-to-remove cancers
This study helps doctors use more individualized (precision) treatment choices for people with certain advanced cancers. You may be offered study care based on your cancer details, aiming to improve treatment decisions.
BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT05298722Recruiting
MRI and blood tests to predict if pancreatic surgery is possible
This study looks at MRI scans, computer-extracted imaging features, and blood/“liquid biopsy” tests after FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy to predict whether surgery can fully remove pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team choose the best next step—whether surgery is likely to be possible and how to plan it.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT05325632RecruitingPhase 2
HER2 breast cancer vaccine plus chemo and targeted antibodies
This Phase 2 study tests a personalized immune-therapy vaccine made from your immune cells, given with weekly paclitaxel and HER2-targeted antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab). It aims to improve treatment outcomes for people with HER2-positive breast cancer before standard local treatment (like surgery and radiation).
