Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05762536RecruitingPhase 2
Docetaxel or cabazitaxel with or without darolutamide
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding darolutamide to either docetaxel or cabazitaxel helps treat men with advanced, progressing prostate cancer. It’s for cancers that have already grown despite hormone-blocking tablets (ARSi).
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05753306RecruitingPhase 2
Robot surgery plus heated chemo for limited spread stomach cancer
This study tests a “robot-assisted” surgery to remove stomach cancer in the belly lining (peritoneum) along with heated chemotherapy placed inside the abdomen. It’s for people whose cancer has spread only in the peritoneum, aiming to control disease when there’s a good chance of removing it all.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT05727904RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy for advanced melanoma, with or without lifileucel
This trial studies whether adding lifileucel (a patient-specific immune-cell treatment) to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone. It’s for people with untreated advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT05732831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for tumors with MTAP loss
This Phase 1/2 trial tests TNG462 (with or without pembrolizumab, depending on the plan) in solid tumors that have lost MTAP. The goal is to check safety and learn whether the treatment can help people with these specific tumor changes.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05727787Recruiting
Radiation trial for liver cancer that cannot be removed
This Phase I study tests a specific radiation approach (vGRID SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (and some mixed types) that is advanced and cannot be cured with surgery or transplant. It aims to control tumors while staying within safety limits for the liver and nearby organs.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05687110RecruitingPhase 1
Testing novobiocin for tumors with DNA repair gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests whether novobiocin is safe and finds the best dose for people whose tumors have specific DNA repair gene mutations. It may help if your cancer is hard to treat with standard options, including certain patients who already tried PARP inhibitors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05687123RecruitingPhase 1
Adding sunitinib to Lutathera for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This early-phase study tests whether adding sunitinib (a targeted pill) to Lutathera (a radioactive treatment) works better for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It also checks safety, since this combination has not been widely studied yet.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05694715RecruitingPhase 1
Test combo treatment for cancers with DNA repair gene mutations
This Phase 1 study tests a combination of medicines (including niraparib and irinotecan) for advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair gene changes, such as BRCA1/2 or related defects. It aims to see whether the treatment can shrink tumors and is safe enough to continue studying.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05700461RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new implant drug delivery device for kidney cancer
This early-phase study tests a new small implant (“IMD”) that can deliver a drug for people with kidney cancer going to surgery. If you qualify, you would get the implant placed through the skin and later have it removed during your operation, along with extra lab checks and genetic testing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05692635RecruitingPhase 2
Brain MRI checks to prevent lung cancer brain symptoms
This trial tests whether doing scheduled brain MRI scans can lower the chance that lung cancer later causes symptomatic brain metastases (tumors that cause symptoms in the brain). If you’re eligible, you’ll get brain MRI surveillance at a specific time after starting radiation.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05693766RecruitingPhase 2
Gene test guides treatment for hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies whether a gene-signature test can help guide treatment choices for people with hormone receptor–positive (ER and/or PR) breast cancer that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It may help find the best therapy approach after prior hormone therapy and targeted cancer medicine.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05655312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation melanoma treatment with or without nivolumab
This early-stage study tests whether a targeted radioactive drug can shrink advanced melanoma, either alone or along with nivolumab (an immune-activating medicine). You may be eligible if your melanoma shows a specific target on scan imaging and has progressed despite prior melanoma treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05636618RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation for certain receptor-positive tumors
This trial tests a targeted form of radiation made to stick to specific “somatostatin receptor” markers on tumors. It is designed for people with advanced, receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors or meningioma who may have had prior treatments and need more options.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT05671822RecruitingPhase 2
Study of targeted drugs for HER2-positive advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether SHR-A1811—given with other medicines—works safely and effectively for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has high HER2. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, especially if previous treatment didn’t work.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05656794RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after treatment for prostate cancer that has spread
This trial studies whether adding a targeted course of radiation to the prostate area after initial systemic treatment can improve outcomes for people with metastatic prostate cancer. It may help control the cancer by treating remaining disease after medicines have started working.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–100 - NCT05653388Recruiting
Study biomarker testing in metastatic leiomyosarcoma
This trial looks at lab markers (biomarkers) in tumor samples from people with leiomyosarcoma that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It also enrolls people who are receiving certain first-line chemotherapy, and your results may help guide future treatment decisions.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05615818RecruitingPhase 3
Study of targeted drug choices for advanced bile duct cancers
This Phase 3 trial matches people with advanced bile duct cancer or gallbladder cancer to a specific targeted medicine based on their tumor’s lab results. It aims to improve disease control by using the right drug for the specific changes found in the cancer.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05508464Recruiting
Test targeted radiation to control many metastases safely
This study tests whether a focused, high-precision type of radiation can control many cancer spread-out spots (“metastases”) at the same time, while keeping side effects acceptable. It may help people with many metastases live longer or have better disease control by aiming treatment at every treatable spot.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05534646RecruitingPhase 2
Carotuximab plus hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called carotuximab given with a standard hormone therapy (apalutamide or enzalutamide) for men with prostate cancer that has stopped responding to current hormone treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can slow the cancer's growth and lower PSA levels.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05471856RecruitingPhase 1
Test different doses of cancer drugs with ezabenlimab
This Phase 1 trial tests how different doses of a study drug (BI 1703880) work and how safe they are when given with ezabenlimab for advanced solid tumors. It’s for people whose cancer can’t be removed with surgery and who have tried standard treatments or can’t get them.
