This study compares different ways to treat ovarian clear cell carcinoma, a rare type of ovarian cancer. It is for women whose cancer has come back or not gone away after platinum chemotherapy, or those newly diagnosed.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT03847649RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab for cancer after stopping immune therapy due to side effects
This Phase 2 trial tests whether durvalumab (an immunotherapy) can still help treat advanced cancer after you had to stop an earlier immune checkpoint medicine because of immune-related side effects. If you’re already on a durvalumab-based study, Substudy B also looks at continuing durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) when it’s safe for you.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06368141RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for colon cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy followed by an immunotherapy drug (a checkpoint inhibitor) before surgery helps shrink locally advanced colon cancer. It is for people with a specific tumor type (MSS and RAS mutation) who have not had prior treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05077137RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an immune memory boost with checkpoint therapy
This early study tests whether “immune recall” (training the immune system using specific vaccine-like steps) can improve how well checkpoint drugs work for advanced melanoma. It is designed mainly to see if the approach is feasible and safe, and it may help some people respond better to PD-1 (with or without CTLA-4) treatment.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06623461RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant with immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests if giving a special capsule of donated bacteria (fecal transplant) alongside standard immunotherapy helps shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma. It aims to see if adding the bacteria can make the immune therapy work better.
Abbotsford British Columbia, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06864481Recruiting
Study of liver inflammation from immunotherapy drugs
This study follows people who develop liver inflammation (hepatitis) after starting immunotherapy for cancer. It helps doctors understand how often this happens and how to manage it.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT04691817RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing tocilizumab plus atezolizumab after lung cancer treatment failure
This trial studies whether combining tocilizumab with atezolizumab can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already stopped responding to an immune checkpoint medicine. It may help when standard immune therapy (and other treatments) aren’t working anymore.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06745908RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for lung cancer after immunotherapy stops working
This trial tests a new drug combination (N-803 and tislelizumab with chemotherapy) for people whose lung cancer stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
