Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04660435Recruiting
Study how breast cancers resist CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment
This study looks at why some ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancers don’t respond well to CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with hormone therapy. It may help researchers understand resistance and improve future treatment choices for people like you.
Prato, TuscanyAges Any age - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03495427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PSMA PET scan to find early prostate cancer spread
This study uses a PSMA PET scan to look for early spread of prostate cancer in men with higher-risk genetic test results (Decipher score above 0.45). It may help doctors spot metastases sooner so treatment decisions can be better targeted.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02596490Recruiting
Couple meditation program for metastatic lung cancer and partners
This study tests whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their romantic partners cope better during treatment. It looks at the experience of both the patient and their partner, not just the patient alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01915225Recruiting
Collecting solid tumor samples during cancer biopsy or surgery
This trial collects tissue (samples) from people who are already scheduled for biopsy or surgery for certain solid cancers. It aims to improve future testing and research while checking that taking the sample is safe and doesn’t add extra risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT05296577RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, anlotinib and vinorelbine, for people with advanced breast cancer that is HER2-negative. It aims to see if this combination can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05773274RecruitingPhase 2
Retreating with 177Lu-DOTATATE radiation versus usual treatment
This trial tests whether repeating a targeted radioactive treatment (177Lu-DOTATATE) works better than standard options in people with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help by controlling tumor growth after the first round of this therapy stops working.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04305834RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib plus hormone pills for metastatic breast cancer in older adults
This Phase 2 study tests whether abemaciclib combined with standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control metastatic breast cancer in people age 70 and older. It may help if your cancer has already grown despite prior hormone therapy and/or other cancer medicines.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT06917092RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced endometrial cancer after prior therapy
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (QL1706) for people with advanced endometrial cancer whose previous immunotherapy stopped working. It aims to see if this different approach can help when standard treatments have failed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT03591276RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Doxorubicin plus pembrolizumab for hormone-resistant breast cancer
This Phase 1b/2 trial tests a combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab for breast cancer that no longer responds to hormone treatment. It aims to see how well the combination works and how safely it can be given to patients with advanced disease.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT04159818RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immune treatments to improve checkpoint drug response in TNBC
This Phase 2 trial tests strategies meant to “prime” the immune system so that immune checkpoint medicines may work better in people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread (or can’t be fully cured). You might be considered if your cancer has measurable areas that can be biopsied and you meet specific health and prior-treatment rules.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04698252RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for ER/PR-positive limited spread breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether treating a small number of metastatic spots with a local approach (like targeted radiation, surgery, or ablation) can help people with ER/PR-positive breast cancer. It aims to help when the cancer has spread only to a few areas and has not significantly worsened after initial whole-body treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05627960RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an antibody drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests AG01, an antibody that targets a cancer protein called GP88, in people with advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find safe doses and learn whether it can help certain cancers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05651672RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced gut cancers with FGFR gene changes
This Phase 2 trial tests pemigatinib, a targeted medicine, for advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancers that have specific FGFR1–3 gene changes. It’s for people whose cancer has grown despite prior standard treatment, and who may benefit if their tumor has the right genetic change.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05800223RecruitingPhase 3
Armatinib with or without brain radiation for EGFR lung cancer
This study tests whether armatinib alone or combined with focused brain radiation (SRT) can control brain metastases from EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for people with few, mostly low-symptom brain spots.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05890287Recruiting
Chidamide plus hormone therapy after chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies chidamide added to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy to help prevent breast cancer from coming back after initial chemotherapy. It may help by keeping cancer under control for longer in people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who respond to first-line treatment.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06102772Recruiting
Combination immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—adebrelimab (an immunotherapy), fruquintinib (a targeted therapy to cut off blood supply to the tumor), and a chemotherapy (paclitaxel or albumin-bound paclitaxel)—in people with advanced stomach/gastric cancer whose disease has worsened after one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new mix can help control the cancer.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06102785Recruiting
Fruquintinib plus TAS102 for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, fruquintinib and TAS102, for people with advanced stomach cancer that has stopped responding to at least one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
