Early study of AZD8205 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and effective AZD8205 is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have come back or spread after standard treatments. It may help by finding the right dose and whether AZD8205 works alone or with another treatment in different cancer types.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05231655Recruiting
Study testing fresh tumor tissue from cancer surgery or biopsy
This study collects fresh samples of tumor tissue during procedures like surgery, biopsy, or TURBT to test a cancer therapy outside the body. It may help researchers learn which treatments work better for different solid cancers.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 16 years+ - NCT05365581RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for stomach and pancreatic cancers with lab-checked targets
This Phase 1 trial tests ASP2138 alone or with other cancer medicines in adults with stomach (including GEJ) or pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has a specific protein marker and your health tests and scan results meet safety requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05512208RecruitingPhase 2
Avutometinib plus defactinib for RAS or BRAF mutated gynecologic cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a two-drug treatment (avutometinib plus defactinib) for certain advanced gynecologic cancers that have specific cancer-driving DNA changes (like RAS or BRAF). It’s designed for people whose cancer has returned or gotten worse after at least one prior treatment for metastatic disease.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05526924RecruitingPhase 1
Phase 1 trial tests re-radiation plus immunotherapy and a cancer pill
This trial studies whether adding a checkpoint immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and a cancer pill (pamiparib) to radiation can better treat cancer that has come back in the head and neck. It’s for adults with previously treated, HPV-positive oropharynx tumors, usually without widespread spread.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05542407RecruitingPhase 1
