Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05954897RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus tislelizumab with HAIC for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining three treatments—lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and a liver-directed chemotherapy approach (HAIC)—can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It may help people whose cancer is stage C and hasn’t been treated before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05955924RecruitingPhase 3
Nicotinamide to prevent skin cancer after organ transplant
This trial tests nicotinamide (a vitamin-like medicine) to help prevent new keratinocyte skin cancers in people who have had a kidney, liver, heart, or lung transplant. It may lower the chance of developing new skin tumors while you continue your usual transplant anti-rejection medicines.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05961761RecruitingPhase 2
Testing propranolol plus pembrolizumab for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining propranolol (a blood-pressure/heart medicine) with pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) can help people with advanced angiosarcoma or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma that has progressed after first-line chemotherapy. It aims to slow tumor growth and improve outcomes while also studying tumor markers from your biopsy tissue.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05977998RecruitingPhase 2
Paclitaxel given during surgery for stomach cancer spread to the belly
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
