The goal is to see how well this adaptive chemotherapy approach works and whether it can improve outcomes before an operation.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04780568RecruitingPhase 1
First-line osimertinib plus tegavivint for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests osimertinib combined with tegavivint as the first treatment for metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with certain EGFR gene mutations. It aims to find the safest dose and see how well the combination can control cancer and side effects.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04606914RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin plus mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo
This Phase 2 study tests adding mirvetuximab to carboplatin for people with advanced, high-grade serous ovarian cancer who will first receive “neoadjuvant” chemotherapy. It is designed for tumors that strongly show FRα, which mirvetuximab targets, to see if this improves outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04055220Recruiting
Regorafenib to keep bone cancer from coming back
This trial studies whether regorafenib given after first treatment helps patients with bone sarcoma stay in remission longer. It focuses on safety and whether the medicine can prevent the cancer from growing or returning.
BesançonAges 12 years+ - NCT03703271RecruitingPhase 3
Uterine scraping as first treatment for low-risk GTN
This trial tests whether using a hysteroscope (a tiny camera) to gently scrape the uterus again, instead of starting chemotherapy right away, can effectively treat a low-risk, pregnancy-related tumor that returns after a molar pregnancy. It's for Chinese women whose disease is still in an early, low-risk stage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 12–60 - 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.
