Terrassa, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03748485Recruiting
Chemo after surgery for certain stage III colon cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with colon cancer that was diagnosed before surgery as stage III and later found to be without certain high-risk features. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must meet specific surgery and health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03740256RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted oncolytic virus plus custom immune cells for solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan that combines a virus designed to attack cancer with your own custom immune cells that target HER2. It aims to shrink advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (and make future options safer/more effective).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03855800Recruiting
Test to detect risky changes in pancreatic cysts
This study looks for molecular (lab) signals that may show advanced or higher-risk changes in certain pancreatic cysts. It may help doctors better sort which cysts are more concerning and may need closer attention.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–120 - NCT03715933RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug INBRX-109 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests INBRX-109, a cancer-targeting drug, in people whose solid cancers are locally advanced or spread to other parts of the body. Because it’s Phase 1, the main goal is to see whether it’s safe and how well it can work for different tumor types that meet specific requirements.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 12–85 - NCT03526835RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MCLA-158 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new experimental drug called MCLA-158 (petosemtamab) for people with advanced solid tumors, especially head and neck cancer or colorectal cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03667170RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for certain colon cancers with MSI-H or dMMR
This Phase 2 trial tests KN035 in people with advanced or spread-out tumors that have specific genetic markers (MSI-H or dMMR). If you qualify, the study team will look at how well the drug works and how it affects side effects in that group.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03649490Enrolling by invitation
Testing new spinal implant materials for XLIF fusion
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT03529019RecruitingEarly Phase 1
