Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT01174121RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells (called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs) for certain metastatic cancers. It’s designed for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who can safely provide a small tumor sample for cell-making.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT07405190RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab with or without chemo for advanced NSCLC
This study tests a new drug, ivonescimab, alone or with chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed), for people with advanced lung cancer that has specific gene changes and has already been treated with targeted therapy. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06997068RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for returning head and neck cancer

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636734RecruitingPhase 2
Lovastatin plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) works better than pembrolizumab alone for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy before and aren't already on a statin.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07103018RecruitingPhase 1
Study of KTX-2001 for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called KTX-2001, possibly combined with another drug (darolutamide), for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone treatments. The goal is to see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06589804RecruitingPhase 3
Testing cetuximab plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding cetuximab to the standard drug pembrolizumab works better for head and neck cancer that has spread or come back after treatment. It is for people whose cancer did not respond to platinum chemotherapy and whose tumors have a certain immune marker (PD-L1).
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05759923RecruitingPhase 1
Study of OATD-02 for hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early (first-in-human) study tests whether OATD-02 is safe and tolerable, and whether it shows any anti-cancer activity. It is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that have already been treated with the standard options.
