Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05439993RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tepotinib plus paclitaxel for MET-altered stomach cancer
This trial tests whether tepotinib combined with paclitaxel can treat stomach or gastroesophageal (GEJ) cancer that has spread and has specific MET gene changes. It may help by blocking the MET pathway that can drive tumor growth after standard chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges Any age - NCT05440227RecruitingPhase 2
PG2 shots to reduce moderate to severe breast cancer fatigue
This Phase 2 trial tests whether PG2 injections can safely reduce moderate to severe fatigue in people receiving chemotherapy for locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic breast cancer. If you qualify, you may be asked to complete questionnaires and follow study plans for about 8 weeks.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05447702RecruitingPhase 2
Testes pre-surgery treatment for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies giving camrelizumab plus apatinib and chemotherapy before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by testing a combination of immune and targeted medicines along with chemotherapy.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05461664Recruiting
Avapritinib for advanced GIST without PDGFRA exon 18 changes
This trial studies avapritinib, a targeted medicine, for people with advanced or returning gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) whose tumor does not have PDGFRA exon 18 mutations. It aims to see how well the drug can shrink tumors or control the disease.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT05462496RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus gut microbiome changes after pancreatic chemo
This Phase 2 study tests whether changing the gut microbiome (the gut’s helpful bacteria) and giving pembrolizumab after chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with operable pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this approach can boost the immune system after standard treatment and help reduce cancer returning.
New York, New YorkAges 19 years+ - NCT05464875Recruiting
Testing avapritinib for advanced GI stromal tumors
This study looks at how well avapritinib works and how safe it is for people with metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). It focuses on whether the tumor has certain marker and gene features and whether you can tolerate related medications.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT05472948RecruitingPhase 2
Testing surufatinib plus immunotherapy with capecitabine for bowel cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of anti-cancer drugs (surufatinib, immunotherapy, and capecitabine) to treat cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It’s for people whose small intestine or appendix adenocarcinoma has progressed after earlier treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05478694Recruiting
Focal ablation outcomes for prostate cancer
This study looks at how well a targeted procedure (“focal ablation,” which destroys only the cancer area) works for certain men with prostate cancer that is limited to the prostate. It may help doctors understand which people benefit most and what outcomes to expect.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT05491226RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus radiation and myeloid-targeting for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune “unlocking” drug) to radiation and another treatment that targets certain immune cells can improve outcomes for women with high-risk, early-stage triple negative breast cancer. You may be considered if your cancer has signs that it may respond less to immunotherapy on its own.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05505643Recruiting
Cryoablation versus lumpectomy for early breast cancer
This trial compares two ways to remove early-stage breast tumors: freezing (cryoablation) or surgery (lumpectomy). It may help find which option works as well or better for cancer control while keeping the breast looking more natural for some people.
St Louis, MissouriAges 50 years+ - NCT05511623RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab with chemoradiotherapy for stage IIIC2 cervical cancer
This trial tests whether adding tislelizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation works better as first treatment for stage IIIC2 cervical cancer. It aims to improve how well the cancer responds and controls the disease.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05520255RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET/CT scan to guide care after prostate cancer treatment
This Phase 3 study checks whether a PSMA PET/CT scan (using a special tracer) can help doctors make better decisions for people with prostate cancer after treatment, based on PSA blood test changes. It may help identify whether cancer has spread or how to plan next steps.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05522660RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy or targeted therapy with focused brain radiation
This Phase 3 study tests whether immunotherapy or targeted medicine, with or without a one-time focused brain radiation procedure, can control brain metastases from melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer. It mainly enrolls people who have no (or minimal) brain symptoms and are newly diagnosed in the brain (except for certain recent brain surgery).
