Trilaciclib plus lurbinectidin for certain previously treated cancers
This Phase 2 study tests the combination of trilaciclib and lurbinectidin in adults whose cancer has already been treated, including with certain standard medicines. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05142475RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of GC101 tumor-infiltrating cells for advanced breast cancer
This early-phase study tests an experimental cell therapy made from your tumor’s immune cells (TILs) for advanced breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors or improve how long people stay in remission, but it’s still being studied for safety and effectiveness.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT03833921RecruitingPhase 2
Testing abiraterone and prednisone for metastatic prostate cancer by race
This trial studies how well abiraterone (a hormone-blocking medicine) plus prednisone (a steroid) works in people with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It also looks at whether results differ by race/ethnicity and other health factors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05183074Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a newer way to plan and deliver radiation for prostate cancer using real-time MRI guidance. It may help by aiming high-dose treatment precisely while treating nearby disease and (in some cases) limited metastatic spots.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05098197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of TIL cell therapy for advanced liver, bile, or pancreas cancer
This trial studies a treatment called TIL therapy, which uses your own immune cells grown from a tumor sample, to treat advanced cancers of the liver/bile ducts or pancreas. It’s mainly for people whose standard treatments have already failed (or none exist), and who can safely provide tumor tissue for the cell preparation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05528133RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized radiation based on tumor genetics in triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether using tumor “genetics” (information from your biopsy) to guide radiation planning can improve treatment for triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by aiming radiation more precisely while still using standard approaches where needed.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05544136RecruitingPhase 2
Study of lower radiation and chemo for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether giving lower doses of radiation and chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with certain head and neck cancers. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping the treatment successful.
