Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07147231RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pidnarulex plus cemiplimab for MSS colorectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs together: pidnarulex (a targeted therapy) and cemiplimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer). It is for people with advanced colorectal cancer that is microsatellite stable (MSS) and has not responded to current treatments, especially if their tumor has a MYC or FBXW7 change.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07760480RecruitingPhase 4
Intensified treatment for lupus nephritis
This study tests whether adding a drug called voclosporin to the usual treatment for lupus nephritis (a kidney disease caused by lupus) can better reduce kidney inflammation. It also looks at the role of immune cells in this process.
AmsterdamAges 16–70 - NCT07011810RecruitingPhase 2
Axatilimab for sclerotic chronic graft-versus-host disease
This study tests a new drug called axatilimab for people with a specific type of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that causes hardening or thickening of the skin or joints. cGVHD is a complication after a stem cell transplant where the donor's immune cells attack your body. The study aims to see if axatilimab can improve these sclerotic symptoms. If you have this condition and it was recently diagnosed (within the last year), you might qualify to participate.
