Recruiting studies
- NCT06447623RecruitingPhase 3
Apatinib plus CDK4/6 inhibitor for first-line HR+/HER2- SNF4 breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, apatinib and a CDK4/6 inhibitor, as the first treatment for a specific type of advanced breast cancer that is HR+ and HER2-. It's designed for people with the 'SNF4' subtype, which is identified by a special analysis of your tumor sample.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06771219RecruitingPhase 1
Testing SLV-154 for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug called SLV-154 for people whose advanced cancer has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if SLV-154 can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05029999RecruitingPhase 1
Test drugs for HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of immune-targeting drugs (a CD40 medicine and a substance that helps immune cells act) plus chemotherapy in people with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has progressed. It aims to find a safer dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–99 - NCT05455619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drugs for PI3K-altered, HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests how well a combination of targeted medicines works for advanced or returning HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has a PI3K pathway change (such as PIK3CA, PTEN, or AKT1). It may help by blocking growth signals in the cancer and is especially for people whose cancer has progressed after hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05720260RecruitingPhase 2
Test immunotherapy plus hormone therapy and an AKT blocker
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and an AKT-blocking drug can control ER-positive advanced breast cancer in women whose cancer is resistant to hormone treatment. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease by targeting several pathways at once.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05772923Recruiting
Testing rectal cancer organ-preservation after radiation
This trial compares two ways to preserve the rectum/avoid major surgery after radiation: a focused contact x-ray treatment versus waiting longer and then removing only a small area if needed. It may help some people keep more normal bowel function while still controlling the cancer.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06135714RecruitingPhase 3
Targeting limited breast cancer spread with focused therapy
This trial tests whether treating just the few spots where breast cancer has spread (called oligometastases) with radiation or surgery can help control the disease. It is for people whose cancer has spread to 3 or fewer places, each small in size, and who are healthy enough for local treatments.
Tokyo, TokyoAges 18–80 - NCT06422455Recruiting
Genetic testing for underserved cancer patients
This study offers free genetic testing to cancer patients and their healthcare providers. It aims to help people who may not have easy access to genetic testing understand their cancer risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06468280RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemo with surgery for limited-spread stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) plus chemotherapy or targeted therapy, followed by surgery, for people with stomach cancer that has spread to a limited number of other sites. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the cancer enough to make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai CityAges 18–79 - NCT04968964Recruiting
Monitoring test for CDK4/6 drugs in metastatic breast cancer
This study follows people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who are taking CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment (with or without an added blood test called DiviTum®). The goal is to see how well the standard treatment is working and whether DiviTum® (a serum TK1 activity test) can help guide monitoring.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06780735Recruiting
Breast-sparing surgery using a special dye after chemo
This trial tests a technique where doctors use a special dye (ICG) to guide breast-conserving surgery in patients whose tumors have shrunk enough after chemotherapy. The goal is to remove only the cancer while saving as much healthy breast tissue as possible.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT06889688RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs. chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (camrelizumab, apatinib, and eribulin) against the standard chemotherapy chosen by your doctor. It's for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has gotten worse after previous treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06891651Recruiting
21-gene testing for older breast cancer patients with lymph node spread
This trial looks at using a 21-gene test to guide treatment decisions for women aged 65 or older who have breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this test can help avoid unnecessary chemotherapy in this group.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65 years+ - NCT07029399RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT5097 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (NKT5097) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It may also be an option for people with a specific type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07371585RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for first-line HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted therapy called Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for those who have not yet received any chemotherapy or HER2-targeted treatment for metastatic disease. The study also focuses on managing side effects early, using digital tools to track symptoms.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT07401537RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two schedules of immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy less often (extended dose intervals) works as well as the standard schedule for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have already completed 6 cycles of first-line treatment. It aims to see if a longer break between doses can be just as effective with fewer hospital visits.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07426055RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Prostate cancer radiation boost comparison study
This trial compares two types of radiation treatments for prostate cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It tests whether adding a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor helps control the cancer better than standard radiation alone.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07542496Recruiting
Real-world study of breast cancer treatment with pertuzumab biosimilar
This study observes how a biosimilar version of pertuzumab (a targeted breast cancer drug) works in real-world patients. Researchers will track outcomes in patients receiving this drug either before surgery or as a first treatment for advanced breast cancer.
AlgiersAges 19 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05772390RecruitingPhase 2
Second radiation for a small breast cancer return
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving targeted radiation again to the same breast can control a small, local breast cancer that came back after prior whole-breast radiation. It may help some patients avoid or delay further treatment for the breast while carefully checking safety.
Meldola, Forlì CesenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05910827RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a HER3 antibody with cetuximab and possibly docetaxel
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether an antibody that targets HER3 (with cetuximab, and possibly docetaxel) can help treat advanced squamous cell cancers that have already been treated or cannot use standard options. It mainly looks at safety first, and also whether the treatment can shrink tumors.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06500169Recruiting
