Heart-based early intervention for stage III lung cancer using heart signals
This trial tests an early heart-focused intervention guided by a special heart recording (impedance cardiography) in people with locally advanced, unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve heart-related safety during planned radiation and chemotherapy, with or without immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04995003RecruitingPhase 1
HER2 CAR T plus pembrolizumab for advanced HER2 sarcoma
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (HER2 CAR T cells) given with an immune “checkpoint” medicine (pembrolizumab or another checkpoint blocker) to shrink advanced HER2-positive sarcoma. It may help patients whose cancer is progressing or coming back after prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT04999904Recruiting
Balance training on uneven treadmill for unstable ankles
This study tests a special balance and movement training program on an uneven treadmill to improve ankle stability. It may help people whose ankles “give way” or keep getting sprained, but it requires specific timing after an ankle sprain and the ability to attend sessions for about 6 weeks.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18–49 - NCT05003895RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for solid tumors with high GPC3 protein
This early-phase trial tests a personalized CAR-T cell treatment for cancers that make a lot of a protein called GPC3. If you have advanced cancer that has already tried at least one standard treatment, and your tumor has enough GPC3, this study aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and how safe it is.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05004116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib plus chemotherapy for relapsed solid tumors in youth
This early-phase study tests repotrectinib (a targeted anti-cancer pill) combined with chemotherapy in children and young adults whose solid tumors have come back or did not respond to standard treatment. The goal is to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can shrink tumors.
New York, New YorkAges 1–25 - NCT05009082RecruitingPhase 3
Niraparib alone or with bevacizumab for advanced ovarian cancer
