Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT05372640RecruitingPhase 1
Drug combo trial for rare cancers with shared NUT features
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs (ZEN003694 and abemaciclib) in teens and adults with metastatic or unresectable NUT carcinoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors. It may help by finding a safer dose and whether the drug combination can shrink or control tumors that do not respond to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05380414Recruiting
Study of advanced pancreatic cancer using tumor tissue profiles
This study looks at advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients and uses stored tumor tissue to learn what may predict treatment outcomes. You may be able to join if you have had limited prior chemotherapy and can provide an archived tissue sample.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05386043Recruiting
Study brain tumor testing with MRI and extra tissue samples
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05388006RecruitingPhase 2
Testing three medicines for Richter transformation in CLL/SLL
This Phase 2 trial studies acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and durvalumab together for Richter transformation (a more aggressive lymphoma) that developed from CLL or SLL. The goal is to improve how well treatment works and how long people can respond.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05399433Recruiting
Studying how sugar metabolism affects immune skin cells in psoriasis
This study looks at how blood sugar control (including diabetes) changes immune cells in the skin for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It may help researchers understand what drives psoriasis and how it could respond to future treatments.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18–80 - NCT05401097RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus IDH-targeted pills for AML patients who can’t get intensive chemo
This Phase 2 trial tests different ways of using medicines that target IDH mutations (IDH-targeted treatment) plus venetoclax in people newly diagnosed with IDH-mutated AML. It’s designed for patients who cannot safely receive intensive induction chemotherapy, to see which approach works best and is tolerable.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05406232Recruiting
Radiation study to track immune changes in breast cancer
This study gives a short course of radiation to the breast or chest wall and measures how your immune system responds. It may help doctors better understand which immune changes happen after radiation and how this could improve palliative (symptom-relieving) care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
