Tiraglolumab plus atezolizumab with chemoradiation for anal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding tiraglolumab and atezolizumab to standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with localized anal canal squamous cell cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help the immune system work better alongside treatment to control the cancer.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06851936Recruiting
Help quitting tobacco for cancer survivors and their caregivers
This study tests a program to help people with a history of cancer and their family caregivers quit using tobacco or nicotine products. You may help researchers learn what works best for supporting quitting in this group.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05546827RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus immunotherapy for mucosal melanoma
