TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06734533Recruiting
Anlotinib combo for HR+ breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a combination treatment including anlotinib for women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and has stopped responding to standard therapies. It is for those who have already tried a CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT03591276RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Doxorubicin plus pembrolizumab for hormone-resistant breast cancer
This Phase 1b/2 trial tests a combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab for breast cancer that no longer responds to hormone treatment. It aims to see how well the combination works and how safely it can be given to patients with advanced disease.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT03946202RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus an in-tumor drug for breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding a drug inside the tumor (an “in-tumor” injection) to make radiation work better for locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer. It’s meant to help control the tumor area for better long-term local symptom control.
Trivandrum, KeralaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04159818RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immune treatments to improve checkpoint drug response in TNBC
This Phase 2 trial tests strategies meant to “prime” the immune system so that immune checkpoint medicines may work better in people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread (or can’t be fully cured). You might be considered if your cancer has measurable areas that can be biopsied and you meet specific health and prior-treatment rules.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04468061RecruitingPhase 2
Study chemo drug plus immunotherapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests sacituzumab govitecan (an antibody-drug medicine) with or without pembrolizumab (an immune-system therapy) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors and improving immune control, especially for patients with specific tumor marker results.
Stamford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04636710Recruiting
Treatment approach study for stage III inflammatory breast cancer
This study looks at how to best plan local treatments (like surgery and/or radiation) for people with stage III inflammatory breast cancer. It may help doctors refine care plans for this aggressive subtype by studying how patients are treated and what outcomes they have.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04698252RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for ER/PR-positive limited spread breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether treating a small number of metastatic spots with a local approach (like targeted radiation, surgery, or ablation) can help people with ER/PR-positive breast cancer. It aims to help when the cancer has spread only to a few areas and has not significantly worsened after initial whole-body treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04722978RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus moxifloxacin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding moxifloxacin (an antibiotic) to standard chemotherapy helps people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer live longer or respond better. You may qualify if your cancer has the right lab markers and you haven’t had treatment for metastatic disease yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04923542RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drug plus focused brain radiation for breast cancer
This study tests whether abemaciclib (a targeted pill) given with focused radiation to brain tumors can control hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in the brain. It’s designed to see if the combination helps shrink or slow the growth of brain metastases while keeping side effects manageable.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04977453RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug GI-101 alone or with immune or blood-pressure meds
This early-phase study tests GI-101 in people with advanced solid cancers. It may be given alone or combined with pembrolizumab or lenvatinib to see how safe it is and whether it can shrink tumors.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05039632RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation with anti-PD-1 for advanced lung or liver cancers
This study tests whether adding NBTXR3 (given into a tumor) and targeted radiation to anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy can improve cancer control in advanced cancers that have spread to the lung and/or liver. Participants may be assigned to different radiation approaches to try to trigger tumor shrinkage in both treated and nearby or distant tumor areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05490472RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors that stopped responding
This early study tests a new medicine (JAB-2485) in adults with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or grown locally). You may join to see if it can shrink tumors or control the disease when other treatments haven’t worked or weren’t tolerated.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05601440RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for metastatic breast cancer that resisted CDK4/6 treatment
This Phase 2 study tests treatments guided by blood testing (“liquid biopsy”) in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after standard CDK4/6 medicine plus hormone therapy. It aims to find a better way to control cancer after the first treatment stops working.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT05627960RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an antibody drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests AG01, an antibody that targets a cancer protein called GP88, in people with advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find safe doses and learn whether it can help certain cancers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06078787RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib for advanced pancreatic cancer with PALB2 mutation
This trial tests whether the drug olaparib can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific change in the PALB2 gene. You may qualify if your cancer has spread or cannot be removed with surgery and you have already tried at least one other treatment.
ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT06110793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and fulvestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and fulvestrant) for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer that has stopped responding to previous hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06240195Recruiting
Study of sacituzumab govitecan for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan (SG) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have already had other treatments. The goal is to see how well the drug works and what side effects it causes, using your tumor samples to look for clues (biomarkers).
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06353906RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for advanced penile cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for penile cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer before or after surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06369831RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging test for HER2 in metastatic cancer
