Gene therapy study for high-grade bladder cancer not responding to BCG
This trial tests a gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec, given directly into the bladder, either alone or with chemo or immunotherapy. It's for people with high-grade bladder cancer that hasn't gone away after BCG treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07124546Recruiting
Acceptance and commitment therapy for cancer distress
This trial tests a type of counseling called acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people with incurable cancer feel less distressed. It is done in a group over the internet, so you can join from home.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06008119RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted pill combination for BRAF-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer
This study tests a combination of two targeted pills (tunlametinib and vemurafenib) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a specific gene change (BRAF V600E) and whose cancer has grown after at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this drug combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06774222RecruitingPhase 2
Fruquintinib plus chemo for HER2-negative gastric cancer
This trial tests adding fruquintinib (a targeted drug that blocks blood vessel growth) to chemotherapy after surgery for HER2-negative stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It is for patients whose tumor did not respond well to previous treatment before surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06722612Recruiting
Chemo plus targeted therapy for high-risk HER2+ early breast cancer
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy with targeted therapy works better for women with high-risk, HER2 positive early breast cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes. If you've had surgery and your tumor fits certain high-risk features, you may be eligible to join.
