AmbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05049837Recruiting
Study lung cancer samples to understand relapse resistance
This trial looks at information and tissue from people with stage I to stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have surgery, sometimes with chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers want to understand why cancers come back (resistance) and how to better target treatments later.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05068232RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus targeted radiation for metastatic small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests durvalumab (an immunotherapy) together with focused, ablative radiation to treat metastatic small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes, especially when at least one tumor can be safely targeted with this radiation plan.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05071937RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus ZEN003694 for recurrent ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining ZEN003694 with talazoparib can slow or shrink recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It is designed for people who have already been treated with a PARP inhibitor before, and it may help if that cancer comes back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05080946RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Aspirin with chemotherapy to improve ovarian tumor immune features
This early-phase study tests whether adding aspirin to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy can change immune (anti-tumor) features inside ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal tumors. It may help doctors better understand which patients respond and how aspirin could make treatment work better.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05104515RecruitingPhase 1
First cancer vaccine test for advanced lung, ovarian, or prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests OVM-200, a new cancer vaccine, to see how it is tolerated and how it affects the immune system in people with advanced NSCLC, ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer. You may be eligible if your cancer has already had approved treatment(s) and no further standard options are planned within the first two months.
London, LondonAges 18–75 - NCT05123482RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study of AZD8205 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and effective AZD8205 is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have come back or spread after standard treatments. It may help by finding the right dose and whether AZD8205 works alone or with another treatment in different cancer types.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05126290Recruiting
Study for CTNNA1 gene family members
