Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–99 years - NCT04924075RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan for cancers linked to VHL or HIF-2α changes
This Phase 2 study tests belzutifan (MK-6482) to treat certain advanced cancers caused by specific gene or disease changes, including VHL-related tumors and HIF-2α related tumors. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth in people whose cancer matches these genetic or disease patterns.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04913285RecruitingPhase 1
KIN-2787 for advanced solid tumors with BRAF or NRAS mutations
This trial tests a new drug, KIN-2787, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes (mutations) in the BRAF or NRAS genes. The drug is designed to target these changes and may help shrink or control the tumor.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04855435RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced melanoma and other solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies a new experimental immunotherapy (MBS8) for people with advanced solid tumors, focusing first on safety and early signs of benefit. Depending on your cancer type and past treatments, you may receive MBS8 alone or combined with pembrolizumab.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT04906434RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ABSK-011 for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe ABSK-011 is, what side effects it causes, and how the body processes the drug. It may help certain patients with advanced solid cancers (including some liver cancer cases) whose tumors have specific test results.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT04879329RecruitingPhase 2
Study for HER2-positive bladder cancer after limited treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests disitamab vedotin alone or with pembrolizumab for urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer that has HER2-positive tumors. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes, including for people who have had limited prior treatment or specific prior drug exposures.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04868604RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Copper PSMA scan and treatment for prostate cancer in men on low testosterone
This trial tests a PSMA-targeted copper medicine used after a special PSMA PET/CT scan to find and treat prostate cancer that has spread. It’s for men whose testosterone is already very low and whose cancer is growing despite hormone-blocking medicines like enzalutamide or abiraterone.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04883671Recruiting
SBRT to treat a few spots of adenoid cystic cancer
This trial tests whether focused radiation (SBRT) can help control adenoid cystic carcinoma that has spread to a small number of places (oligometastatic disease). If you qualify, the study will treat up to 1–5 metastatic spots that doctors think can be safely targeted, to help control the cancer locally.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04900623RecruitingPhase 2
Using HPV blood test to guide treatment for HPV throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a “risk-adapted” treatment plan for HPV-related throat cancer, using an HPV DNA blood test to help decide how treatment is done. If your baseline blood test shows detectable HPV DNA, the study may help tailor therapy to your risk and potentially improve outcomes while limiting unnecessary treatment.
