Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04716257Recruiting
Study of treatment outcomes in ovarian-spread colorectal cancer
This study follows women with colorectal cancer that has spread to the ovaries to see how care works in real life. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and how treatment choices affect outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04744506Recruiting
Targeted removal of armpit nodes after chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies a more targeted surgery to remove cancer-involved lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors better remove affected nodes while avoiding unnecessary tissue removal.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT04752826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BI-1808 plus Keytruda for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new cancer medicine (BI-1808) either alone or together with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in people with advanced cancers. It may help by strengthening the immune system’s attack on cancer, especially if standard treatments are no longer working or aren’t suitable.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04817956RecruitingPhase 2
Precision-medicine treatment for advanced cancer in Norway
This Phase 2 trial tries to match people with advanced cancer to targeted treatments based on their tumor’s genetic results. It may help if standard cancer treatments are no longer working or aren’t available, and if a “target” in the tumor suggests a therapy that could work.
ÅlesundAges 16 years+ - NCT04823923Recruiting
How kidney failure affects drug levels in metastatic kidney cancer
This study looks at how chronic kidney failure changes the amount of certain cancer medicines in the blood. It involves people with metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who take pazopanib or cabozantinib, and compares drug levels in different kidney function groups.
