Inavolisib plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy, inavolisib, combined with standard hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor for people with a specific genetic mutation (PIK3CA) in their hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has not been treated before. It compares this combination to a placebo plus the same standard treatments.
Spring, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07033026RecruitingPhase 2
Study of NGM120 for weight loss in colorectal cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called NGM120 for people with colorectal cancer who are losing weight (a condition called cancer cachexia).

Texas City, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05198830RecruitingPhase 2
Adding TRC102 to standard chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding TRC102 to standard chemotherapy plus radiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. It is designed for newly staged patients and aims to help the immune system work better while treating the tumor.

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.
