Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04891289RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin with a chemotherapy pump for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 study tests gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy, and whether adding a chemotherapy pump (with floxuridine and dexamethasone) delivered to the liver improves outcomes. It is for people whose intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cannot be removed with surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04686305RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug T-DXd plus immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy for HER2+ lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests the safety (and early effectiveness) of T-DXd combined with immunotherapy, sometimes also with chemotherapy, in people with advanced lung cancer that is HER2-positive. It may help if standard options have been limited or your tumor does not have certain genetic changes that already have targeted treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04622423Recruiting
Advanced therapies for colon or pancreas liver metastases
This study tests advanced treatments for cancer that has spread to the liver, either from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting liver tumors using treatment plans and, for some participants, liver tissue samples.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04499365RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan for detecting different cancer types

Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT04169737RecruitingPhase 2
Acalabrutinib and venetoclax for high-risk CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether acalabrutinib and venetoclax (with or without early obinutuzumab) can control chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is mainly for people whose disease is high-risk, has come back, or did not respond to earlier treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04165070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stage IV lung cancer trial using pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immune-based cancer treatment) either alone or with chemotherapy in people newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It looks at how well the treatments work and whether they are safe, especially in people who haven’t had treatment yet for metastatic disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04031677RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery with or without chemotherapy for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04068155Recruiting
Radiation device for certain skin cancers you can treat locally
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT03937635RecruitingPhase 3
Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, with or without daratumumab
This phase 3 trial studies whether lenalidomide plus dexamethasone can prevent or delay progression of “high-risk smoldering” multiple myeloma, and whether adding daratumumab improves outcomes. It’s meant for people who are not yet showing symptoms, but whose lab and scan results suggest higher risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04022239RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bendamustine to prevent transplant immune complications
This early-phase study tests whether giving the drug bendamustine (with or without another chemo drug) can lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. GVHD is an immune reaction where the donor’s cells attack your body. If it works and is safe, it could improve outcomes after transplant.
