Study drugs for advanced small cell lung cancer after prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial tests how well two study drugs (and a combination of them) work in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It’s mainly for patients whose cancer has come back or who couldn’t tolerate at least some standard treatments, and it aims to see if treatment can shrink tumors and be tolerable.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05932862RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug XL309 for advanced tumors with HRR gene changes
This early-phase study tests XL309 (and sometimes a mix of XL309 with another treatment) in people whose advanced solid tumors have specific DNA-repair gene changes, such as BRCA1/2 or other HRR-related changes. It aims to see how well the drug works and what dose is safest for these cancers.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05933239RecruitingPhase 2
PET-like scan using a special protein in lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a new imaging medicine (a radiopharmaceutical) can highlight immune cells called macrophages in people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors better “see” and evaluate tumor tissue before a surgical biopsy or removal.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT05938322Recruiting
Ketogenic diet during pelvic cancer radiation treatment
This trial studies whether a very low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet can be followed safely while you receive neoadjuvant radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help researchers understand effects related to nutrition and treatment tolerance during radiation.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT05941507RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TROP2 antibody drug with anti–PD-1 for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests an antibody-drug (an ADC) that targets TROP2, given by itself and together with an anti–PD-1 medicine. It’s for people with advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05952453RecruitingPhase 2
New ovarian cancer treatment with chemo plus maintenance medicines
This Phase 2 trial tests giving chemotherapy before surgery, then continuing two medicines afterward (olaparib and pembrolizumab). It’s designed for people with newly diagnosed Stage III/IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who may benefit from tighter control of the disease.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05962541RecruitingPhase 4
Using bladder scans to plan repeat surgery for bladder cancer
This trial checks whether a bladder scan and score (VI-RADS from MRI) can help doctors choose the right way to do a second look surgery for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to reduce the chance of needing extra (“secondary”) resections while still catching important disease early.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT05964387Recruiting
Silver fluoride treatment and local numbing for tooth cavities
This study tests whether applying silver diamine fluoride (a cavity-stopping liquid) changes how well local numbing works during dental treatment for certain tooth defects. It may help determine the safest and most comfortable way to treat weak, cavity-prone molars in children.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 6–11 - NCT05967910Recruiting
How stress affects immunotherapy for esophageal cancer
This study looks at whether chronic stress changes how well immunotherapy (ICI therapy) works in people with esophageal cancer. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from treatment and how stress could affect outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05969496RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus axitinib before kidney surgery for RCC with IVC tumor
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus axitinib can shrink kidney cancer before surgery, when there is tumor growth into the inferior vena cava (IVC). It may help make the operation easier and improve chances of long-term control.
