Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05577143Recruiting
Blood test screening for colorectal cancer
This study checks whether a blood test can help identify colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. You would have a planned colonoscopy, and researchers compare the blood test results to what the colonoscopy finds.
LilleAges 18–75 - NCT05489211RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests the drug Dato-DXd (alone or with other cancer medicines) in people with advanced solid tumors. It looks for tumor shrinkage and how safely the treatment can be given.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT05286814RecruitingPhase 2
Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04912765RecruitingPhase 2
New immune vaccine plus nivolumab for liver cancer
This trial studies whether an individualized “neoantigen” cancer vaccine given to immune cells (dendritic cells) plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with liver cancer and/or colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It focuses on tumors that can be removed with curative surgery (with or without local ablation) and on people with good enough liver and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04771520RecruitingPhase 2
Avapritinib for tumors with specific KIT or PDGFRA changes
This Phase 2 trial studies avapritinib, a targeted medicine, for people whose cancer has specific KIT or PDGFRA genetic changes. It may help shrink or slow growth of certain advanced cancers, including some brain tumors, when standard treatments have not worked or for specific glioblastoma cases.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04767568Recruiting
