- NCT06022939RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemo plus stem cell transplant to chemo alone for AL amyloidosis

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07210086RecruitingPhase 2
PET scans to guide radiation for limited metastatic prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (POSLUMA) before and after radiation to see if it helps treat prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots outside the pelvis. It's for men whose cancer still responds to hormone therapy and who have not had widespread spread.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07037004RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a gut health supplement with immunotherapy after kidney cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether adding a gut health supplement (CBM588) to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can help prevent kidney cancer from returning after surgery. It is for people with certain types of kidney cancer who have not had immunotherapy before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342414Recruiting
Blood test to tell apart two types of liver cancer
This study uses a blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to help doctors tell the difference between two common types of liver cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). If you have been diagnosed with one of these cancers and have a blood sample taken before starting curative treatment, this study may help improve diagnosis and care.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05583708RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests targeted radiation plus immunotherapy after anti–PD-1 failure
This Phase 2 trial studies whether peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (targeted radiation) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can shrink Merkel cell cancer after it has grown despite anti–PD-1/L1 treatment. It may help people whose cancer has specific receptors that make them eligible for the targeted radiation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226115Recruiting
Predicting chemotherapy outcomes for colorectal cancer

It aims to reduce the risk of heart problems caused by hormone treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 30–79 - NCT06282575RecruitingPhase 3
Zanidatamab plus chemo for advanced HER2-positive bile duct cancer
This phase 3 trial tests whether adding zanidatamab (a targeted antibody) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for advanced HER2-positive biliary tract cancer. If you have this type of cancer that has spread or can't be removed, and you've had little or no prior treatment, this study might be an option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06260033RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation Therapy for Oligoprogressive ER+ Breast Cancer
This trial tests whether a precise radiation treatment (SBRT) can target a few growing spots of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It also uses a special PET scan (FES PET/CT) to see how well the cancer responds. The goal is to slow down the cancer and delay the need for stronger treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06249282RecruitingPhase 1
Carfilzomib and sotorasib for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs: carfilzomib and sotorasib, for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) who have already tried a KRAS-targeting drug that stopped working. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03113643RecruitingPhase 1
SL-401 with standard drugs for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SL-401, given with azacitidine and sometimes venetoclax, to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can improve blood cancer control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06989112RecruitingPhase 3
First-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs for endometrial cancer that has spread or come back. It aims to see if these drugs can shrink tumors and help people live longer. It is for tumors that have a certain protein (HER2) and are mismatch repair proficient (meaning they have a normal DNA repair system).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07432295RecruitingPhase 2
Givastomig plus nivolumab and chemo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug, givastomig, combined with standard immunotherapy (nivolumab) and chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose tumors have certain markers (CLDN18.2 and PD-L1) and who have not had treatment for advanced disease.

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06817889RecruitingPhase 2
Remdesivir for RSV in people with weak immune systems
This trial tests if remdesivir can safely treat RSV (a respiratory virus) in people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, CAR T-cell therapy, or are being treated for blood cancer. If you have a confirmed RSV infection in your nose or throat and are at moderate or high risk for complications, you may be able to join.

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.
