This trial tests whether FDA-approved targeted drugs can help people with advanced cancer whose tumors have specific gene changes. It aims to match your tumor's unique genetic profile to a drug that may work better for you.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT07524322RecruitingPhase 1
RGT-490 for Advanced Cancers With PIK3CA Mutations
This study tests a new drug called RGT-490 in patients with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery) that have a specific genetic change called a PIK3CA mutation. The drug is designed to block a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06136884RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AO-252 for advanced solid tumors with or without brain metastases
This trial tests an experimental oral pill (AO-252) that targets a protein called TACC3 in advanced solid tumors, including those that have spread to the brain. It is for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change (TP53 mutation) or who have prostate cancer, and who have already tried other treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors

Drug ABBV-CLS-484 for advanced cancers that lack options

What taking part in a advanced solid tumor study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
