Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ART6043, alone or with another drug called olaparib, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help if your cancer has specific DNA repair problems or if you have breast cancer with a BRCA gene mutation.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07686445RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AN4035 for advanced cancers with RAS mutations
This trial tests a new drug, AN4035, for people with advanced cancers that have a RAS mutation and high levels of a protein called CEACAM5. The drug may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
PerthAges 18 years+ - NCT07436663RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing heart damage from breast cancer chemotherapy with two diabetes drugs
This trial tests whether two different diabetes drugs (SGLT-2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors) can help prevent heart damage that anthracycline chemotherapy can cause in breast cancer patients. You would receive one of the two drugs during your treatment to see if it protects your heart.
Tanta, ElgharbeyaAges Any age - NCT03561740RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine plus usual treatment for high-risk HER2 breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding a chemotherapy medicine called capecitabine (taken in smaller, regular doses) to the standard after-surgery (adjuvant) treatment can lower the chance of cancer coming back in people with early-stage, high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. It targets patients who still had cancer left after earlier treatment or who had higher-risk tumor features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05323201RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
B7H3 CAR-T therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests an immune therapy made from your own blood cells (CAR-T) to treat advanced, unresectable liver cancer. It’s designed for people whose tumor has a specific marker called B7H3 and who meet blood, organ, and safety requirements.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT04973306RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery versus chemo-radiation
This trial compares adding immunotherapy to standard chemo-radiation before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and whether patients do better after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04926584Recruiting
Immunotherapy for advanced or limited-spread lung cancer
This trial tests whether starting immunotherapy can help people with newly diagnosed advanced or limited-spread non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be fully cured with standard local treatments. It may offer a new treatment approach when surgery or definitive chemoradiation isn’t a good option.
Esslingen am NeckarAges 18 years+ - NCT05334277RecruitingPhase 2
Test furmonertinib for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies furmonertinib alone or with other treatment options to control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help by targeting the cancer-driving EGFR mutation, especially in people whose mutation is confirmed by a ctDNA blood test.
ChangchunAges 18 years+ - NCT05563012RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus chemo and PD-1 immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving a short course of radiation before surgery, along with chemotherapy and a PD-1 immunotherapy drug, can improve treatment outcomes for locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and strengthen the immune system’s attack on cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04501523RecruitingPhase 2
ctDNA-guided immunotherapy boost after chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 study checks whether a blood test that looks for cancer DNA (ctDNA) can help decide who should get an extra 12-month immunotherapy treatment after standard chemotherapy and surgery. It may help reduce the chance of the cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05735145RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus radiation, then extra chemo for advanced cervical cancer
