Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05232916RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine for HER2-positive breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a vaccine (GLSI-100) that may help prevent the return of HER2-positive breast cancer. It is given to patients who still had cancer cells after initial treatment with trastuzumab, or who had stage III disease and achieved a complete response.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT05219695RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound imaging and treatment for breast tumors
This study uses focused ultrasound waves to create detailed images of breast tumors and deliver targeted treatment. It aims to improve how breast tumors are treated while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02215928Recruiting
Using tumor genetic tests to guide treatment choices
This study looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help doctors recommend treatment for cancers that have spread. It may help you get the most suitable therapy based on what’s found in your tumor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05150691RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study of an HER2 drug in advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests DB-1303 and BNT323 together in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have specific HER2 features. It may be an option when standard treatments have stopped working, aiming to find a safer dose and early signs of effectiveness.
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05184816RecruitingPhase 1
Deferoxamine for leptomeningeal cancer spread in the brain lining
This Phase 1 study tests deferoxamine, a medicine given directly into spinal fluid, for leptomeningeal metastasis (cancer spreading to the brain and spinal cord lining). It’s meant to see whether the treatment can be safely given and whether it may help control this difficult-to-treat cancer location.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05174169RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Adjuvant colon chemotherapy guided by tumor DNA results
This trial tests whether treatment for colon cancer after surgery can be guided by a blood test that looks for leftover cancer signals (ctDNA). It may help some people choose stronger or different chemo based on whether ctDNA is found after surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05083754RecruitingPhase 1
New glioblastoma trial testing immune drug plus radiation
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding an immune therapy called retifanlimab to radiation (and a chemotherapy medicine called temozolomide, in some parts of the study) is safe and helpful for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients after surgery with carmustine wafers. It aims to see how well this combination controls the cancer and what side effects are expected.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05132504RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and immunotherapy for operable pancreatic cancer
