FrankfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT05417308RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Minoxidil for hair loss from breast cancer hormone therapy
This early-phase study tests whether using minoxidil as a lotion (topical) or by mouth (oral) can improve hair loss caused by breast cancer hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help you keep or regrow hair while continuing your cancer treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07334431RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A trial of fruquintinib, trastuzumab, and chemo for HER2-positive stomach cancer
This study tests a combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, trastuzumab, and XELOX chemotherapy) as the first treatment for people with advanced HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for shrinking tumors.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07719361RecruitingPhase 1
New drug for advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer
This study tests an experimental drug for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone therapies. It may be an option if your PSA is rising despite treatment with drugs like enzalutamide or abiraterone.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05267626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03847649RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab for cancer after stopping immune therapy due to side effects
This Phase 2 trial tests whether durvalumab (an immunotherapy) can still help treat advanced cancer after you had to stop an earlier immune checkpoint medicine because of immune-related side effects. If you’re already on a durvalumab-based study, Substudy B also looks at continuing durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) when it’s safe for you.
