X-ray light-activated therapy for hard-to-treat skin tumors
This early-phase study tests an X-ray–activated medicine that is delivered directly into selected tumors to help control cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. If the injected area can be treated safely, it may shrink or slow the tumor and improve local control.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04332588RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI monitoring for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery
This early-phase study looks at how well PET/MRI scans can monitor treatment response in people with HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. You may be asked to undergo specific scans during “neoadjuvant” therapy (treatment given before the main operation).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04339218RecruitingPhase 3
Cryoablation plus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for lung cancer spread
This trial studies whether freezing a small number of lung cancer spots (cryoablation) alongside standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy can improve outcomes in people with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. It’s meant for people who have measurable tumors that can be safely targeted with the freezing treatment.
Bordeaux, GirondeAges 18 years+ - NCT04215731RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus targeted drug before surgery for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy (mFOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab before surgery for rectal cancer that has higher-risk features. It aims to shrink or control the cancer early to improve outcomes after treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04107077RecruitingPhase 2
HIPEC surgery plus chemotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This study tests whether a specialized surgery called HIPEC (heat-treated chemotherapy placed in the belly) can improve outcomes for people with advanced stomach cancer that has reached the lining of the abdomen. It’s given after you’ve already had standard chemotherapy, aiming to better control disease in the belly.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03997110Recruiting
Palliative radiation to relieve pain in advanced cervical cancer
This trial looks at giving radiation to shrink or control advanced cervical cancer to help with symptoms, especially pain. It is for people who are not good candidates for full curative treatment and are expected to have limited time, so the goal is comfort rather than cure.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–75 - NCT03516708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Epacadostat with pre-op radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding epacadostat (a cancer drug) to standard pre-operative chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It’s designed to see if the added treatment is safe and potentially more effective before surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03454035RecruitingPhase 1
Combination of two study drugs for advanced pancreatic and other solid tumors
This trial tests two drugs, ulixertinib and palbociclib, taken together to see if they can shrink tumors in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, melanoma, or other solid tumors. It may be an option for people who have already tried standard treatments.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03458676Recruiting
