Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07501650RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus ultrasound bubbles for head and neck cancer
This trial combines the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with a special ultrasound technique that uses tiny bubbles to make the treatment work better. It is for people with HPV-negative head and neck cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05989425RecruitingPhase 2
Surufatinib before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether the drug Surufatinib, given before surgery, can shrink locally advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer. It's a targeted therapy that blocks blood vessels that feed tumors, and is given as a pill to see if it makes the cancer easier to remove.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05398302RecruitingPhase 1
Biopsies during prostate cancer treatment to study resistance
This early study uses image-guided biopsies (small tissue samples taken with imaging) to learn why metastatic prostate cancer may stop responding to PSMA radioligand therapy. The results may help doctors understand resistance and improve future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07073755Recruiting
Study of next treatments after targeted therapy resistance for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at what happens when people with advanced breast cancer switch to a new treatment after their cancer becomes resistant to targeted therapies like CDK4/6 inhibitors, PIK3CA inhibitors, or T-DXd. Researchers want to understand which next treatments work best in real life.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06720532Recruiting
Kidney function in men with prostate cancer getting a new targeted radiation therapy
This study looks at how a targeted radiation therapy called 177Lu-PSMA affects kidney function in men with a type of advanced prostate cancer. It aims to understand risk factors to help guide safe treatment.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT06134232RecruitingPhase 2
Extra sipuleucel-T after Provenge for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding one extra infusion of sipuleucel-T (the same drug as Provenge) after the standard three doses can help men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. It is for men who have already finished their three Provenge infusions and have mild or no symptoms.
Tuscon, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07406282Recruiting
