Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04678362RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment with talazoparib plus immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether continuing two medicines after your initial platinum chemotherapy can help keep your urothelial (bladder/urine tract) cancer from coming back or worsening. It is for people whose cancer shrank or stayed stable after chemotherapy and who cannot be cured with surgery or radiation.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04807673RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab before surgery versus chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 3 study compares two treatment plans before surgery for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy improves outcomes compared with standard chemoradiation.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05184803RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo for advanced stomach cancer with lymph spread
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy regimen given before surgery for stomach cancer that cannot be fully removed (unresectable), including spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to shrink the cancer and improve control with a well-known set of medicines given in a specific order.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05208047RecruitingPhase 3
CGT9486 plus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called CGT9486 to sunitinib (a standard cancer drug) works better than sunitinib alone for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that have grown or spread. You may qualify if your GIST stopped responding to or caused problems with imatinib, an earlier treatment.
