Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05293470Recruiting
Tracking the real-world effects of Piqray in Korea
This study monitors how well and how safely Piqray works for people in Korea in routine care. You may be invited if your breast cancer matches specific genetic and receptor test results and you are starting Piqray for the first time.
Cheonan Si, Chungcheongnam-doAges 18–100 - NCT05306132RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug ASKC202 for advanced lung cancer and MET-positive tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how safe ASKC202 is, what dose is tolerable, and whether it shows early signs of shrinking certain advanced cancers. Depending on your tumor type and prior treatments, ASKC202 may be tested alone or with another drug.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05232916RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine for HER2-positive breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a vaccine (GLSI-100) that may help prevent the return of HER2-positive breast cancer. It is given to patients who still had cancer cells after initial treatment with trastuzumab, or who had stage III disease and achieved a complete response.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT05219695RecruitingPhase 1
