AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04093570Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Extension study for people continuing ASTX727 from a prior trial
This study checks whether continuing ASTX727 for people who already benefited from it in an earlier Taiho study is safe and effective. It may be an option if you stayed on ASTX727 at the end of your parent study and your doctor felt it was helping you.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07285668Recruiting
Special donor immune cells after stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancers
This study tests whether giving specially treated donor immune cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent relapse in patients with high-risk blood cancers. You would get a stem cell transplant from a relative, followed by an infusion of donor cells that have been processed to reduce the risk of graft-versus-host disease.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT06952803RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for men with BRCA-related prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug (saruparib) to standard radiation and hormone therapy can help prevent prostate cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has a BRCA gene mutation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03016806Recruiting
Umbilical cord blood transplant from unrelated donors
This trial studies transplanting healthy blood-forming cells from an umbilical cord blood donor who is not related to you. It may help people with certain blood cancers, immune disorders, or other serious diseases when a standard transplant plan is needed.
