ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03971045RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus low-dose oral chemo for chest wall breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus low-dose oral cyclophosphamide in people with chest wall breast cancer that has spread locally and may have distant metastases. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and control cancer longer, especially in tumors with certain immune markers.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT03997110Recruiting
Palliative radiation to relieve pain in advanced cervical cancer
This trial looks at giving radiation to shrink or control advanced cervical cancer to help with symptoms, especially pain. It is for people who are not good candidates for full curative treatment and are expected to have limited time, so the goal is comfort rather than cure.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–75 - NCT04038502RecruitingPhase 2
Testing carboplatin or olaparib for gene-linked prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether carboplatin or olaparib can help people with prostate cancer that has certain DNA repair gene changes. It’s designed for advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer that is growing despite standard hormone-blocking treatment.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04159142RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two chemo combos for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two chemotherapy combinations to see which works better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. You would be asked to join one treatment arm based on study assignment and be followed for response and side effects.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT04299581RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing treatment plus immunotherapy for advanced bile-duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing part of the liver tumor (cryoablation) combined with an immunotherapy drug called anti–PD-1 can shrink advanced bile-duct cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It may help control the cancer after prior treatments have stopped working.
