Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06041516RecruitingPhase 1
New drug ADCT-701 for neuroendocrine and nerve tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ADCT-701 for people with certain rare cancers (neuroendocrine tumors, adrenal cancer, or a type of nerve tumor) that have come back or spread. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, which works like a targeted missile to kill cancer cells while trying to spare healthy ones.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06044441Recruiting
Proactive palliative support for advanced cancer
This study offers a proactive program of support and education for people with advanced cancer and their caregivers. It aims to improve quality of life by starting palliative care conversations early, even before symptoms get worse.
SingaporeAges 21–120 - NCT06047977RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for high-risk solid tumors in children and young adults
This trial uses a patient's own tumor-fighting immune cells (TILs) to treat high-risk solid tumors outside the brain in children and young adults. It has two parts: first, a tumor sample is collected during surgery, and then the immune cells are grown in a lab and given back to the patient to attack the cancer.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 1–21 - NCT06049355RecruitingPhase 2
Exercising together during radiation therapy
This study tests whether doing strength training with your partner during radiation therapy helps improve your health and well-being. You and your partner will be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or a usual care group.
