It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT07213934RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination for people whose head and neck cancer has come back after prior radiation. You'll receive an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) plus radiation, then surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can improve how well surgery works.

Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer

Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03678025RecruitingPhase 3
Standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, with or without local treatment

Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07028853RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding the investigational drug mevrometostat to the standard treatment enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer). You may benefit if you haven't yet received chemotherapy or similar strong treatments for this stage of cancer.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07213804RecruitingPhase 3
Study of sofetabart mipitecan for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sofetabart mipitecan for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after treatment. It is for those whose cancer is either resistant to platinum chemo (Part A) or sensitive to it (Parts B and C). The study will see if the drug can help shrink or slow the cancer.

Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07441681RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing radiation plus targeted therapy vs standard chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two treatments for advanced head and neck cancer in patients who cannot take the drug cisplatin.

What taking part in a cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
