Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04272658Recruiting
Whole-body PET/CT scan during immunotherapy for melanoma
This trial studies how a whole-body PET/CT scan (using a radioactive sugar called FDG) can better track metastatic melanoma in people receiving immune therapy. It may help doctors understand tumor response to medications like nivolumab or pembrolizumab.
Brest, FinistereAges 18 years+ - NCT04295863RecruitingPhase 1
Test different dosing schedules for two immunotherapy drugs
This early trial compares how often two immune system medicines—nivolumab and pembrolizumab—are given for advanced or metastatic cancers. It aims to see which dosing interval is workable and safe for people needing treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04315233RecruitingPhase 1
Testing two drugs for hard-to-treat triple-negative breast and ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests ribociclib plus belinostat in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer or recurrent ovarian cancer. It also looks at your tumor’s genetics (from a fresh biopsy) to see who might respond better.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04333706RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sarilumab plus capecitabine for certain breast cancers
This trial studies whether adding sarilumab to capecitabine can shrink or control metastatic or high-risk breast cancer that lacks HER2 and is either triple-negative or hormone-resistant. It aims to find a safe dose first, then look at how well the treatment works compared with historical results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04526587Recruiting
Study of breast cancer markers after CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment
This study looks at lab markers and clinical features in people with certain types of breast cancer who are being treated with, or have already been treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor like abemaciclib (ciclib-based therapy). It aims to understand patterns that may help doctors better characterize breast cancer after these treatments.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04547166RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New targeted immune drug plus bevacizumab and chemo for colon cancer
This trial studies serplulimab (an immune-related drug) together with bevacizumab and chemotherapy to treat metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this combination improves outcomes and is safe.
