Concepción, Intibucá DepartmentAges 6 months–2 years - NCT04670874Recruiting
Quality of life in people with cutaneous lymphoma
This study asks people with cutaneous lymphoma to fill out a questionnaire about quality of life. The goal is to better understand how this illness affects day-to-day life and comfort.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04621435RecruitingPhase 1
PET imaging test for solid tumors using FAP-2286
This Phase 1 study tests a special imaging scan (using FAP-2286) to see solid tumors in people who have already been diagnosed. It may help doctors better detect where cancer is in the body and how to plan treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04508790RecruitingPhase 2
Leflunomide plus pomalidomide with dexamethasone for relapsed myeloma
This trial studies whether a combination of three medicines (leflunomide, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone) can better treat multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding. It may help people who are not good candidates for transplant and who have measurable disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04589468Recruiting
Exercise for cancer survivors at high risk
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
Durate, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04510051RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for IL13Rα2 positive pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) for children with brain tumors that come back or do not respond to standard treatment. The cells are given after chemotherapy that temporarily lowers the body’s immune system, which may help the CAR T cells work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 4–25 - NCT04561206RecruitingPhase 2
Brentuximab plus nivolumab for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies brentuximab vedotin plus nivolumab in people whose classical Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease, especially when standard options like transplant are not possible.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04185935Recruiting
Genetic study of cancer in patients and their families
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT03975231RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drugs and radiation for BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether targeted medicines (dabrafenib and trametinib) plus radiation can control an aggressive thyroid cancer with a specific BRAF gene change. It may help by attacking cancer cells that have this mutation and using focused radiation to improve tumor control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03746769RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing gastrin to improve results of islet cell transplant
This trial looks at whether adding gastrin can improve outcomes after an islet cell transplant for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help some participants achieve better blood sugar control, but it also requires close follow-up and immune-suppressing medications to protect the new cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–68 - NCT03676647Recruiting
Test DNA methylation from thyroid FNA samples to diagnose cancer
This study looks at a molecular test (DNA methylation pattern) using samples taken during fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules. It aims to help identify which thyroid nodules that looked “unclear” after the first test may be cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT03523975RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Vaccine trial for children with CMV after stem cell transplant
This trial studies a vaccine designed to help the body fight cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children who test positive for CMV and are about to receive a donor stem cell transplant. If it works, it may reduce CMV-related illness during recovery after transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT03279094RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a half-matched bone marrow transplant for sickle cell
This early-phase study tests whether a “half-matched” donor bone marrow transplant, with special medicines to calm the immune system before transplant, can improve outcomes for people with sickle cell disease. It may help high-risk patients who have frequent complications and don’t have a fully matched donor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT03011814RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Durvalumab plus lenalidomide for relapsed T-cell lymphoma
This study tests a combination of two drugs—durvalumab (an immunotherapy) and lenalidomide (a targeted therapy)—to see if they are safe and effective for people with T-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to harness your immune system to fight the cancer while also attacking the cancer cells directly.
