San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05898789Recruiting
Virtual rehab program for cancer survivors
This trial tests a virtual (online) rehabilitation and exercise program for people after breast, colorectal, head and neck, or certain blood cancers. It may help improve recovery and daily functioning by supporting safe activity and targeted rehab after treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05867251RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AVZO-021 for advanced breast and ovarian cancers
This early-stage study tests AVZO-021, a new anti-cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors like specific types of breast and ovarian (or related) cancers. It’s meant to find the safest dose and look for signs the medicine can shrink tumors, especially in cancers with certain gene changes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05876390Enrolling by invitation
Regional anesthesia to reduce long-term breast surgery pain
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer treatment study for advanced solid tumors
This study tests different treatments tailored to your cancer's biology. It aims to find which therapy might work best for you, potentially improving outcomes. You'd receive one of the study drugs, with close monitoring and support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05846789RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab plus chemo for metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding tocilizumab, a drug that calms the immune system, to standard chemotherapy helps control certain advanced breast cancers. It is for people with triple-negative or ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786664Recruiting
