Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05805371RecruitingPhase 1
PSCA CAR-T cells with or without radiation for prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a prostate cancer treatment made of PSCA-targeted CAR-T cells, with or without radiation, to help control advanced prostate cancer. It aims to find a safe treatment approach and see how well it works in people whose cancer has PSCA.

This trial tests a new way to deliver a drug called amifostine (XER-001) alongside intense radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective at protecting healthy tissue while targeting the tumor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022939RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemo plus stem cell transplant to chemo alone for AL amyloidosis
This study tests whether adding a stem cell transplant to standard chemotherapy (Dara-VCD) works better than chemotherapy alone for people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis. It aims to find the best way to control the disease and improve outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07210086RecruitingPhase 2
PET scans to guide radiation for limited metastatic prostate cancer

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.
