Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06014658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-101, that targets a protein called EphA5 found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, breast, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to other treatments. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.

What taking part in a locally advanced solid tumor 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.
