Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04616560RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for recurrent Wilms tumor, osteosarcoma, and DSRCT
This trial tests a targeted drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan for children and young adults with certain cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. It may help if your tumor has not responded to standard therapies.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 12–39 - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic (RNA) testing of kidney cancer tissue to help choose the best drug treatment. It may help guide therapy for people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who are starting treatment for the first time.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07795749RecruitingPhase 2
Intraperitoneal paclitaxel with systemic therapy for gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal spread
This study tests a treatment that combines chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) with standard systemic chemotherapy for people whose gastrointestinal cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis). It aims to control the cancer and improve how patients feel.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07365319RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug combo for stage 4 lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called EIK1001 combined with standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy for people with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding EIK1001 helps shrink tumors more than the current standard treatment.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04858334RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib after pancreatic cancer surgery for BRCA or PALB2 mutations
This trial studies whether olaparib (a targeted cancer medicine) can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery in people with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations. You would get olaparib or a placebo (inactive pill) and be closely followed to see if recurrence is reduced.
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+ - NCT04920032RecruitingPhase 1
Blood test–guided extra treatment for colon cancer recurrence risk
This Phase 1 study uses a blood test called ctDNA to decide whether and how to adjust treatment in people with colon cancer who still have a small amount of disease left after surgery. If your blood test remains positive, the trial aims to reduce recurrence risk by guiding treatment changes.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06335667Recruiting
MRI vs. TURBT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study compares two ways to check if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer: an MRI scan (mpMRI) versus a standard surgery called TURBT (where a small tool removes a sample of the tumor). The goal is to see if the MRI can be as accurate as the surgery, so future patients might avoid an extra procedure.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06520345RecruitingPhase 3
A new treatment for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-TLX591) plus standard care against standard care alone for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. The goal is to see if this targeted radiation can help control the cancer.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05614739RecruitingPhase 1
Study of vepugratinib for cancers with FGFR3 gene changes
This study tests a new pill, vepugratinib, for people whose cancer has a specific change in a gene called FGFR3. The drug targets this gene change to try to slow or shrink the cancer, and may be an option if standard treatments have not worked.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05377996RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors with tumor tissue testing

Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07166406RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with or without targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation (called SBRT) to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the blood vessels or outside the liver. You may be asked to participate in one of two treatment groups to see which approach works better.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06312137RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab with or without another drug for lung cancer after surgery
This trial tests adding a new drug (sacituzumab tirumotecan) to pembrolizumab for people with non-small cell lung cancer that did not completely disappear after initial treatment and surgery. The goal is to see if the combination works better than pembrolizumab alone.
