Add new medicines to standard treatment for returning lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tafasitamab, lenalidomide, tazemetostat, and zanubrutinib (along with standard lymphoma treatment) can improve outcomes in people whose large B-cell lymphoma has returned or not responded. It may help control disease more effectively and improve response duration for eligible patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03620786Recruiting
HIFU experience study for treating parts of the prostate

Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.

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.
