La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04390737RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug HH2853 for hard-to-treat lymphoma and solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests the safety and early effectiveness of HH2853 in people whose cancer has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink tumors and guide future treatment for specific cancer types and genetic changes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389281RecruitingPhase 1
X-ray light-activated therapy for hard-to-treat skin tumors
This early-phase study tests an X-ray–activated medicine that is delivered directly into selected tumors to help control cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. If the injected area can be treated safely, it may shrink or slow the tumor and improve local control.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04243720Recruiting
Study of immune resistance after immunotherapy
This trial studies why some solid cancers stop responding to immune-based drugs (like anti–PD-1/PD-L1) and what can be done next. You may be eligible if your cancer has progressed after immunotherapy and you can safely undergo a tumor needle biopsy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03297606RecruitingPhase 2
Match your tumor test to a targeted cancer drug
This trial studies whether giving a targeted cancer medicine based on tumor genetic/protein test results can help people with advanced, incurable cancers live longer. You may be eligible if your cancer has a “potentially actionable” change on testing and you meet health and follow-up requirements.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
