This trial uses a computer model to predict if your liver cancer might come back aggressively after surgery. If you are at high risk, you may receive additional treatment before surgery to lower that risk.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06013618RecruitingPhase 2
Naxitamab for high-risk or relapsed neuroblastoma in children
This trial tests a targeted antibody called naxitamab (hu3F8) for children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or is hard to treat. It aims to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the cancer with an acceptable safety profile.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1 year+ - NCT04169737RecruitingPhase 2
Acalabrutinib and venetoclax for high-risk CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether acalabrutinib and venetoclax (with or without early obinutuzumab) can control chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It is mainly for people whose disease is high-risk, has come back, or did not respond to earlier treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03314974RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant study for blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a strong (myeloablative) stem cell transplant using donor stem cells (allogeneic transplant) for certain blood and bone marrow cancers. The goal is to see how well this approach works and whether it can improve outcomes for people who need transplant-level treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 60 years - NCT05943379RecruitingPhase 2
RC48 antibody plus gemcitabine for high-risk bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests RC48, an antibody-based drug, combined with gemcitabine to treat high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not responded well to BCG or cannot receive BCG. It may help shrink tumors and reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
