Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04109131Recruiting
Study platform for brain metastases in solid cancers
This trial studies people with solid tumors that have spread to the brain (including the brain lining) to help researchers learn what works and how best to treat it. You may be asked for blood/tissue samples and a procedure to collect spinal fluid when brain metastases are diagnosed.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–21 - NCT04902443RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide and nivolumab for virus-related cancers
This trial tests two drugs (pomalidomide and nivolumab) in people with cancers caused by viruses. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04913285RecruitingPhase 1
KIN-2787 for advanced solid tumors with BRAF or NRAS mutations
This trial tests a new drug, KIN-2787, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes (mutations) in the BRAF or NRAS genes. The drug is designed to target these changes and may help shrink or control the tumor.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04891198RecruitingPhase 2
Envafolimumab for advanced cancers after other treatments
This trial tests envafolimumab, an immune therapy given alone, in people with advanced solid tumors that can’t be removed by surgery or have spread. It’s for patients whose cancer has grown despite (or they couldn’t tolerate) standard treatment, and it aims to find whether this drug can shrink tumors or slow growth.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04879329RecruitingPhase 2
Study for HER2-positive bladder cancer after limited treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests disitamab vedotin alone or with pembrolizumab for urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer that has HER2-positive tumors. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes, including for people who have had limited prior treatment or specific prior drug exposures.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04891289RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin with a chemotherapy pump for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 study tests gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy, and whether adding a chemotherapy pump (with floxuridine and dexamethasone) delivered to the liver improves outcomes. It is for people whose intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cannot be removed with surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04872543RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for nerve tumor caused by PRC2 loss
This Phase 2 trial studies ASTX727 in people with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) that have a specific genetic change (“PRC2 loss”). It aims to shrink or control advanced tumors that have not responded to at least one standard treatment, by testing how well the drug works and is tolerated.
