Study of a new antibody for advanced tumors with FGFR1 protein
This trial tests an experimental antibody, OM-RCA-01, in people with advanced solid tumors that have high levels of a protein called FGFR1. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for those who have already tried other treatments.
Kazan'Ages 18 years+ - NCT05756569RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab plus pembrolizumab for advanced bladder cancer variants
This trial studies enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) for people with advanced bladder cancer that has a “variant” or non-urothelial subtype. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard options have not worked or are no longer enough.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07297667RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for certain advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called GCAR1, which uses your own immune cells (T-cells) to find and attack cancer cells that have a specific marker called GPNMB. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the tumor.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 15 years+ - NCT05817903RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab with or without axitinib after prior nivolumab
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding axitinib to nivolumab (or giving nivolumab alone) can better control advanced clear-cell kidney cancer after standard initial treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. It may help by extending response or slowing tumor growth while improving how long treatment works.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06467097RecruitingPhase 3
Drug therapy vs. drug therapy plus radiation for limited kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation to standard drug therapy helps control kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It is for people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who have up to 5 metastases.
