Study of MCLA-158 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new experimental drug called MCLA-158 (petosemtamab) for people with advanced solid tumors, especially head and neck cancer or colorectal cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03711890Recruiting
Advanced imaging to detect early pancreatic cancer during surgery
This study tests a special high-resolution camera that can see tiny details during pancreatic surgery to help doctors detect early-stage pancreatic cancer or precancerous growths called IPMNs. The goal is to improve how well surgeons can identify and remove diseased tissue.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03582124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Panitumumab dye to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special dye drug (panitumumab-IRDye800) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer areas while operating. If it works, it could improve how well cancer tissue is found and removed during planned lung surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT03448926Recruiting
DCIS test registry to guide radiation and drug decisions
This study collects information from people with breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to see how a specific lab test (DCISionRT) may help predict who benefits from radiation and/or certain medications. Your results and clinical details are gathered during routine care, not necessarily to change treatment right away.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 30–85 - NCT03474237Enrolling by invitation
Study following people newly diagnosed with adrenal conditions
This study follows adults with a new adrenal diagnosis to learn how adrenal diseases behave over time. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03422302Recruiting
CPAP or breath-holding to reduce lung tumor motion
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03408353Recruiting
MERIT study uses mammogram and blood tests to assess breast cancer risk
This study looks for signs in blood samples and imaging that may help estimate breast cancer risk earlier. You would do a mammogram and give blood at the start and then again at yearly follow-up visits.
Houston, TexasAges 25–80 - NCT03370406RecruitingPhase 1
Test cream and injection treatment for skin squamous cell cancer
This early-phase study tests whether combining an injection into the skin lesion with a topical cream can treat squamous cell skin cancer. It may help shrink the cancer and improve control in people whose tumor is in the lower legs or feet.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03259867RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immune therapy for liver or stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination treatment using a targeted liver procedure plus an immune “checkpoint” medicine to slow cancer growth. It may help people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or metastatic stomach cancer when standard treatments have not worked.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT03042221Recruiting
Early re-biopsy to find why tumors survive targeted drugs
This study takes a small tumor sample early after starting targeted treatment (or uses blood if a biopsy isn’t possible) to look for clues—called biomarkers—about why some tumor cells survive. The results may help improve how future patients’ treatments are chosen for certain lung cancer gene mutations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT03114462RecruitingPhase 1
Study of focused radiation for laryngeal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a precise type of radiation treatment for people with certain stages of laryngeal (voice box) squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see how safe the treatment is and how well it may work in shrinking or controlling the cancer while aiming to preserve the larynx.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03295227RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab for thymus cancer that cannot be removed
This trial studies pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy medicine, in people with thymoma or thymic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is, including whether your immune system can help control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.
Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT03026140RecruitingPhase 2
Tested immune therapy before surgery for early colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests immune “checkpoint” medicines (and combinations) given before colon surgery to see if they can better control early colon cancer. It is aimed at people with non-metastatic colon cancer and certain tumor markers.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03039439Recruiting
Tissue study of parathyroid tumors to understand tumor biology
This study looks at blood and/or tissue samples from people with parathyroid problems to better understand different types of parathyroid tumors. It does not test a new medicine—instead, researchers analyze samples to learn what makes each tumor type different.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT03199651Recruiting
Study for people with stage IV lung cancer
This study focuses on improving outcomes for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer by gathering health, treatment, and lifestyle information. It may help researchers understand what supports survival and care planning, especially for people who are current smokers or recent quitters.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02688894Recruiting
Molecular testing for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This study uses tumor tissue to look for molecular (biologic) changes after your small cell lung cancer comes back. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate next treatment based on what the cancer’s biology shows.
IncheonAges 20 years+ - NCT02598349RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation for pancreas cancer that can’t be removed
