New York, New YorkAges 1–25 - NCT04930432RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MCLA-129 for advanced EGFR- and MET-positive lung and other cancers
This early-phase trial tests MCLA-129, an antibody that targets EGFR and MET, in people with advanced cancers that have specific lab “biomarker” results. It’s for patients whose cancer has grown after standard treatments or can’t take standard treatment, with the goal of shrinking tumors and improving symptoms.
BaodingAges 18 years+ - NCT04969315RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of two new drugs for advanced kidney, prostate, lung, or mesothelioma cancer
This study tests two new study drugs (TT-4 and TT-10) alone and together in people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these drugs are safe and effective in shrinking tumors or slowing the cancer's growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04865887RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for advanced cervical cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether pembrolizumab and lenvatinib can improve outcomes in people with advanced cervical cancer that has grown or stopped responding to earlier treatments. It may help by boosting the immune system and slowing cancer growth.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03460977RecruitingPhase 1
Mevrometostat trial for hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests mevrometostat (PF 06821497) in people with castration-resistant prostate cancer to see if it’s safe and how the body responds to it. It may be an option if your cancer is no longer controlled by hormone therapy and your organ health tests are within limits.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before. It looks at two groups: one with PD-L1 (a protein that helps decide if immunotherapy works), and one without. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03961373RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer lymph node surgery after chemo for stomach cancer
This study compares two surgical approaches to remove lymph nodes after you’ve already had chemotherapy for stomach cancer. It aims to see whether removing lymph nodes in a more extended way improves outcomes without causing unacceptable side effects.
SienaAges 18–80 - NCT03646955Recruiting
Partial breast radiation versus no radiation after lumpectomy
This trial compares giving radiation only to part of the breast versus not giving radiation at all after breast-conserving surgery. It’s meant for women with early, hormone-driven breast cancer to see if skipping radiation can be safe and reduce treatment burden.
SantiagoAges 60 years+ - NCT05201430RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFOXIRI vs CapeOX before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy plans given before rectal cancer surgery to see which helps more people and works better for disease control. If you have locally advanced rectal cancer and have not had treatment yet, this study may be an option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04138212RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo alone vs chemo with radiation before esophagus surgery
This study compares chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy plus radiation given before surgery for locally advanced esophagus squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see which treatment helps more people have a successful operation and better cancer control.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT03466424Recruiting
Short radiation then chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation given before chemotherapy for people with locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue and/or nearby lymph nodes but can still be removed). It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective while assessing how well this approach works.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT05136326RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo-radiation for rectal cancer without MGMT
This trial studies whether adding two chemotherapy medicines (capecitabine and temozolomide) to standard pre-surgery chemo-radiation can work better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific tumor marker pattern (MGMT “silenced”) and is mismatch-repair proficient (MSS). It aims to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve cancer control.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05699811RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test of special immune-support cells for solid tumors
This study tests lab-made mesenchymal stromal cells that release interferon alpha (IFNα) for people with locally advanced or metastatic solid cancers. It’s designed to see if this treatment can help when standard treatments have failed or don’t have guideline options.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05450029RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to chemo-radiation for rectal cancer
