MRI scan to personalize radiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 1 study uses specialized imaging (including MRI) to better “see” low-oxygen areas in esophageal cancer and help guide individualized radiation treatment. It aims to improve how radiation is planned and delivered while checking safety.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04852887RecruitingPhase 3
Testing shorter breast radiation after low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether “less intense” radiation can work as well as standard radiation for certain early-stage hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancers that have a low Oncotype DX score. It may help reduce treatment burden while keeping cancer control strong.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–70 - NCT04701476RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced colorectal or lung cancer
This study tests pembrolizumab (an immune system medicine) with another treatment (TATE) in people with advanced colorectal or lung cancer that is not driven by certain gene changes. It may help shrink tumors after standard chemotherapy has stopped working.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04628767RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. It compares different treatment approaches based on whether a patient can receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Kingman, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04620187RecruitingPhase 2
Study medicine T-DM1 after surgery for HER2-positive salivary cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies T-DM1 given after surgery for salivary gland cancer that is HER2-positive. The goal is to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back by targeting HER2-positive tumor cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04643041Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after PD-1 for certain rectal cancer
This study looks at whether people with a very strong response to a PD-1 antibody can safely delay or avoid more standard rectal cancer treatment (a “watch-and-wait” approach). It may help some people avoid surgery, radiation, or ongoing treatment while still closely monitoring the cancer.
