Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05111561RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a two-drug combo for RAS-mutant or triple negative breast cancer
This study tests a combination of two new drugs, ZEN003694 and binimetinib, for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain gene changes (like RAS mutations) or triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05088395Recruiting
Blood tests to track cancer signals after treatment
This study measures “circulating tumor markers,” meaning substances from cancer that can show up in blood, to better understand how cancer is doing after treatment. You may join if you recently received cancer care at a participating center and meet basic study and follow-up requirements.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05098210RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine made from your tumor’s new immune targets
This Phase 1 study tests a customized vaccine made from “neo-antigens,” which are new targets found in your tumor. It aims to help your immune system fight certain advanced cancers that have not responded well to prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05081024Recruiting
Blood test biomarker to help preserve organs in rectal cancer
This study looks at a blood test (ctDNA, a way to detect cancer DNA in the bloodstream) to help doctors choose treatment that may spare organs for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. You may be followed to see how well the blood test can guide treatment decisions.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT05111964Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for soft tissue sarcoma tumors
This trial tests a non-surgical ultrasound treatment (HIFU) that targets the tumor from the outside of the body. It may help by shrinking or controlling certain types of soft tissue sarcoma or desmoid tumors when they are hard to remove surgically or when surgery/chemo/radiation is not a good option.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 18 years+ - NCT00177268Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples in skin diseases research
This study collects blood, urine, and possibly small tissue samples to learn more about cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and either eczema or atopic dermatitis. It may help researchers better understand these skin conditions and improve future treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05036707RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
