Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06643000Recruiting
High-dose furmonertinib combo for EGFR lung cancer with brain lining spread
This trial tests a strong dose of furmonertinib (a targeted pill) combined with two other drugs, bevacizumab and pemetrexed, for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord. It aims to see if this combination can better control the cancer and improve symptoms.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06995677RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TYRA-300 for bladder cancer that has not spread into muscle
This trial tests a new pill, TYRA-300, for people with a certain type of early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific genetic change (FGFR3). The goal is to see if it can help by targeting the cancer cells and possibly avoiding more invasive treatments.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03175224RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug APL-101 for lung or other tumors with MET changes
This Phase 2 study tests APL-101 to shrink advanced cancers that have certain MET-related changes, including specific MET mutations, MET gene amplification, or MET fusions. It may help people whose tumors have run out of standard treatment options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05099172RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted therapy for advanced lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
