It’s aimed at people who can handle treatment with an ECOG performance status of 2, including some with certain types of brain metastases.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04205968RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ramucirumab with chemo for advanced small bowel cancer
This trial studies whether adding ramucirumab to chemotherapy (either paclitaxel or FOLFIRI) works better for advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma that has already been treated with certain prior medicines. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in people whose cancer has progressed.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting osimertinib with or without bevacizumab helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. Your EGFR mutation test result and past treatments are key to whether you can join.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04005690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted drug treatment for pancreatic cancer using pathway changes
This early-phase trial tests how well targeted medicines (and possibly an immunotherapy drug) work for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be fully removed with surgery or has spread. It also looks at whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors by blocking specific cancer pathways.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03521830RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and other immunotherapy for advanced basal cell skin cancer
This study tests how well the immunotherapy medicine nivolumab works—either by itself or combined with other immune-boosting drugs—for people with advanced basal cell carcinoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It’s also looking at what to do if the cancer grows again after an earlier immunotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03573791Recruiting
