Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06399419RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBM588 with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a probiotic (CBM588) to a standard immunotherapy combination (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced kidney cancer. It is for people with a specific type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery, who have not had systemic treatment before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06514118Recruiting
Immunotherapy with radiation for advanced small-cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation for people with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding radiation to leftover tumors after initial treatment helps control the disease better.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07780838RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced bile duct cancer with an FGFR2 change
This study tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and cisplatin) with an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab), alternating with a targeted therapy (pemigatinib) for people with advanced biliary tract cancer that has an FGFR2 gene change. The goal is to see if this treatment sequence helps control the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07783477RecruitingPhase 1
Armored CAR T cells for DLL3 positive cancers
