Test drug combo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies how well apatinib plus albumin-bound paclitaxel works for advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or spread. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease by targeting cancer growth in more than one way.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05322460Recruiting
Online support program for long-term breast cancer survivors
This study tests a web-based program to support women who have finished breast cancer treatment and have no signs of active disease. It may help improve how you cope, stay informed, and manage life after treatment.
PamplonaAges 18–99 - NCT03903835RecruitingPhase 3
Biomarker-guided treatment for metastatic prostate cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests a prostate cancer treatment plan chosen using your tumor’s biomarker results. It aims to improve outcomes for men with metastatic prostate cancer starting first systemic treatment.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT04610372Recruiting
Targeted radiation plus hormone therapy for prostate cancer spread
This study compares different ways of giving radiation (SABR or brachytherapy) along with long-term hormone therapy for men whose prostate cancer has spread to a limited number of spots in the body. It aims to see which radiation approach controls the cancer as well as possible while keeping quality of life in mind.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03851445RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lung cancer screening trial using tumor and blood test results
This trial helps sort people with previously treated lung cancer into the best next treatment options by using new tumor tissue (and sometimes blood) test results. It may help you get matched to therapies based on features like PD-L1 and other biomarkers.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03546829RecruitingPhase 1
Testing targeted radiation plus short anti-microbial treatment
This early safety study tests a combination of focused radiation and a targeted anti-microbial (antibiotic/antifungal/antiviral/anti-parasite) plan for certain lung cancer that is starting to progress in a few spots. It aims to see whether this approach is safe and helps control the small areas of progressing cancer after prior treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03474822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Plasmodium immune treatment for breast and liver cancers
This early-phase study tests an immune-based treatment (using Plasmodium) for people with advanced breast cancer or advanced liver cancer. It aims to see whether the treatment is safe and whether it can help the body’s immune system fight the cancer.
