Amivantamab for advanced colon or rectal cancer with specific tumor traits
This Phase 1/2 study tests amivantamab alone or combined with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced or metastatic colon or rectal cancer. You may be able to join if your tumor has the right genetic profile (typically “wild-type” for certain genes and no HER2 amplification) and your cancer has measurable or biopsy-able lesions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05413421RecruitingPhase 1
ORIC-944 for metastatic prostate cancer after hormone therapy
This early-phase trial tests ORIC-944 to see how well it works and what dose is safest for metastatic prostate cancer that has progressed after hormone-targeted pills. It may help people whose cancer has stopped responding to prior prostate cancer hormone treatments.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05376878RecruitingPhase 4
PET/MRI scan to guide treatment in HER2+ brain metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a special PET/MRI imaging scan using a labeled drug to help doctors evaluate HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It focuses on patients who plan to receive fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan, a targeted cancer medicine, and aims to see how well the scan can support treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
