Tested targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer with PIK3CA changes
This Phase 3 study tests inavolisib plus Phesgo versus placebo plus Phesgo in people whose breast cancer has both HER2-positive and PIK3CA-mutated tumor markers. The goal is to see if adding inavolisib improves how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05902169RecruitingPhase 3
Ultrasound with carboplatin for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a device that opens the blood-brain barrier using ultrasound, allowing chemotherapy to reach the brain tumor better. It compares this approach to standard chemotherapy for people whose glioblastoma has returned.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05907057RecruitingPhase 3
Ivosidenib plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML
This trial studies ivosidenib together with azacitidine in people newly diagnosed with AML that has an IDH1 R132 gene mutation. It’s meant for patients who are not able to safely receive the strongest (intensive) chemotherapy, with the goal of improving control of the leukemia.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05858398Recruiting
How body composition affects chemotherapy results in breast cancer
This study looks at whether body fat and muscle (body composition) change how well certain chemotherapy works after surgery for early breast cancer. You may be considered if you are planned to receive docetaxel as adjuvant (after-surgery) chemotherapy and have recent CT scan images.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05874297Recruiting
Online nutrition coaching to help breast cancer chemo side effects
This study tests whether an online nutrition education program can reduce or lessen side effects from chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. If you qualify, you would complete online lessons and questionnaires through the rest of your chemotherapy.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05848765RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for relapsed follicular lymphoma after prior chemo
This Phase 2 trial studies treatment options for follicular lymphoma that has returned or did not respond to prior therapy. It compares a standard chemotherapy approach against another study treatment to see which works better and is tolerable.
AberdeenAges 18 years+ - NCT05852717RecruitingPhase 2
Epcoritamab plus GDP chemotherapy for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests epcoritamab combined with GDP chemotherapy to treat adults whose large B-cell lymphoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to improve how safely and effectively the disease can be controlled after standard chemotherapy.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05848141Recruiting
Rowing program after breast cancer treatment
This study looks at whether supervised rowing exercise after breast cancer treatment is safe and helpful for recovery and health. You may be able to join if you finished treatment within the last 6–24 months and have no major exercise-limiting heart or health problems.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 40–80 - NCT05723107RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an endoscopic treatment for pancreatic cancer that can't be removed
This early-phase trial is testing a new endoscopic (from inside the stomach) approach for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that is locally advanced and cannot be removed with surgery. It may help some people who have already tried first chemotherapy and still have a tumor confined to the pancreas area (no spread).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04602377RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with standard chemo for ovarian small cell cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune medicine) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with small cell cancer of the ovary that has not been treated before. It may help your immune system recognize and attack the cancer while you receive chemotherapy.
AngersAges 12 years+ - NCT05831397Recruiting
Study tests tiny blood “packages” during breast cancer chemotherapy
This trial studies small particles in the blood (called extracellular vesicles) in people receiving chemotherapy before surgery for breast cancer. It may help doctors learn more about what those particles can tell them during neoadjuvant treatment.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–80 - NCT05846789RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab plus chemo for metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding tocilizumab, a drug that calms the immune system, to standard chemotherapy helps control certain advanced breast cancers. It is for people with triple-negative or ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05819892RecruitingPhase 1
Dostarlimab with chemo and radiation for advanced womb cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies how safe and tolerable it is to add dostarlimab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemo and radiation, followed by more chemotherapy, for stage IIIC endometrial cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see whether this combination can be given safely soon after surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05844813Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Neoadjuvant chemo plus targeted treatment for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial tests giving chemotherapy together with a targeted treatment before surgery for people with a high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor so surgery can potentially remove it with minimal remaining disease (R0/R1).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05825066RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before any surgery to people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor, which may make surgery more successful and improve outcomes.
