Testing donor-like immune T cells for children with liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (ET140203 T cells) in children and teens with certain liver cancers that have come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether these T cells can shrink tumors and is mainly focused on safety and early effectiveness.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04098640Enrolling by invitation
Testing tumor DNA in younger people with metastatic breast cancer
This study looks at your tumor’s molecular (DNA/biologic) features to better understand metastatic breast cancer in people under 50. You may help researchers by providing tissue samples (biopsies) for lab testing.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–50 - NCT03219593RecruitingPhase 2
Apatinib as first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a pill called apatinib as a first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It might help if you cannot or do not want to have chemotherapy.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT02422641RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose methotrexate for breast cancer in the brain lining
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving high-dose methotrexate into the bloodstream can help treat breast cancer that has spread to the thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord. It may help reduce cancer in the leptomeningeal (brain-lining) area and control symptoms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07538843Recruiting
Darolutamide Plus Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer in China
This study watches how well a drug called darolutamide works when combined with hormone therapy for men with prostate cancer that has returned after previous treatment. The goal is to understand if this combination helps prevent cancer spread and is safe to use.
