Lower-dose transplant medicines to prevent graft-versus-host disease
This early-phase study tests a lower dose of cyclophosphamide given after a stem cell transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It also uses sirolimus and mycophenolate to improve how well the donor immune system accepts the transplant, aiming to reduce side effects while keeping protection against GVHD.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 12–120 - NCT06139627Recruiting
Geriatric assessment for older adults with lung cancer getting chemotherapy and radiation

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07647328RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant and ribociclib for advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (camizestrant and ribociclib) for advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The study aims to see if this combination helps patients whose cancer cannot be surgically removed or treated with radiation alone.

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.
