It may help patients by improving how the medicine reaches the tumor while comparing side effects and outcomes between the two delivery methods.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07192432RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for HER2-positive cancer
This trial tests a new gene therapy for people with HER2-positive cancer.

Testing a targeted radiation therapy for advanced neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a radioactive drug called [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE for people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) that have grown or spread. The drug targets tumor cells that have a specific receptor (SSTR) and delivers radiation directly to them, aiming to slow or shrink the tumors while limiting damage to healthy tissue.

What taking part in a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
