This study uses blood and tumor samples to find markers that predict whether immunotherapy will work for people with stage IV cancer. The goal is to better match treatments to patients.
Ho Chi Minh City, Hồ Chí MinhAges 18–80 - NCT06199713Recruiting
Melanoma trial tracking treatment response with PET scans and blood tests
This study is looking at whether a special PET scan (FDG PET/CT) and a blood test that measures ctDNA (cancer DNA in the blood) can help predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors work in people with advanced melanoma. If you are planning to get treatment with immunotherapy drugs like ipilimumab, nivolumab, or pembrolizumab, you may be able to join.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04954599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CP-506 for hard-to-treat cancers with DNA repair defects
This Phase 1/2 study tests CP-506 in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair problems (homologous recombination or Fanconi anemia-related defects). It may be used alone or combined with carboplatin or an immune therapy, aiming to shrink tumors or improve control when standard options are limited.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06132698RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy injected into spinal fluid for lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining
This trial tests giving an immunotherapy drug directly into the spinal fluid for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer while allowing you to continue other treatments you may already be taking.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05834413Recruiting
Herbs plus chemo and immunotherapy to prevent lung cancer spread
This study looks at whether staged Chinese herbal medicine added to standard treatment can lower the risk of lung cancer coming back or spreading after surgery. It is for people with stage Ib to IIIb non-small cell lung cancer whose tests show no “driver gene” targets.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT05745233Enrolling by invitation
Testing immune therapy put into the belly for cancer fluid
This trial studies whether an immune-blocking drug placed directly into the belly cavity can help people with cancer-caused fluid buildup (malignant ascites) from stomach, pancreas, or bile-duct cancers. It may help shrink the fluid and slow the illness, but you must meet specific safety and treatment-history requirements.
Taichung, Please SelectAges 20 years+ - NCT04974671RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation for limited cancer growth on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether targeted external-beam radiation (SBRT) can control a small number of progressing kidney cancer spots while you continue immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. It may help shrink or stop those specific “oligoprogressive” lesions and prolong benefit from your current immunotherapy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05522660RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy or targeted therapy with focused brain radiation
This Phase 3 study tests whether immunotherapy or targeted medicine, with or without a one-time focused brain radiation procedure, can control brain metastases from melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer. It mainly enrolls people who have no (or minimal) brain symptoms and are newly diagnosed in the brain (except for certain recent brain surgery).
