Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT04678401RecruitingPhase 1
Trial tests transplant using a half-matched donor for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a special bone marrow transplant using a related “half-matched” donor (haploidentical), without a specific immune-suppressing medicine (“IS-free”). It’s for adults with certain high-risk AML or MDS to see if this approach can improve control of the disease while tracking safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT04683315RecruitingPhase 2
Pancreatic cancer biopsy-guided chemo before surgery
This trial uses a special gene test on fluid taken from an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) biopsy to help choose chemotherapy before surgery for pancreas cancer. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes by matching treatment to the tumor’s RNA pattern.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04689048RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a brain scan tracer for large, staged brain metastases
This Phase 1 study tests an injected radioactive tracer (18F-fluciclovine) to improve how doctors image and assess large brain metastases. It may help guide treatment when you’re receiving staged stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation in steps).
