Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05633615RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drug options after CAR T for aggressive lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding or switching drug treatments after CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with certain aggressive lymphomas that have come back or did not respond. It mainly looks at who remains disease-stable/partly improved after CAR T and what treatment approach works best next.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06773936Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Adding asciminib to usual care for adults with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL
This trial tests if adding asciminib, a targeted pill, to standard treatment works better for adults newly diagnosed with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It is for those who are older, or who cannot or choose not to have intensive chemotherapy.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05208762RecruitingPhase 1
PD-L1 antibody drug study for advanced lung and head/neck cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05076942RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sentinel lymph nodes in vulvar cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how vulvar squamous cell cancer (SCC) spreads to the sentinel lymph node, and how findings may guide treatment. It focuses on specific early-stage tumor features and requires that cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations
This Phase 2 study tests amivantamab (an antibody medicine) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer when standard curative treatments aren’t possible.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06511037RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Dye injection to help see cancer during belly surgery
This study tests a special dye, called pafolacianine, that is injected before surgery to help surgeons see hidden cancer spots in the belly during the operation. The goal is to see if using this dye improves how completely the cancer is removed in people with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to the belly lining.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 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.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07200830RecruitingPhase 3

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.
