Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05194982RecruitingPhase 1
Early study drug BL-B01D1 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests BL-B01D1 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are not curable or lack standard treatment options. The goal is to see how the drug works in the body and whether it’s safe enough to study further.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05178472Recruiting
Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05168163RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus targeted drug for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether atezolizumab combined with a multi-targeted (“multi-kinase”) inhibitor can treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or local procedures. It focuses on people whose cancer has already grown despite a first-line treatment using atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05019703RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus cabozantinib for teen osteosarcoma
This trial studies a combination of two medicines—atezolizumab and cabozantinib—for teenagers and young adults with osteosarcoma that has come back or spread. It aims to slow or shrink the cancer and help control disease that can’t be fully removed with surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT05065801RecruitingPhase 2
New metastatic pancreatic cancer: targeted chemo before FOLFIRINOX
This trial tests whether adding Gembrax (a combination that includes gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) before standard FOLFIRINOX works better than FOLFIRINOX alone in people with pancreatic cancer that has already spread. It looks at whether this “step-up first” approach improves results and is still tolerable.
Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18–75 - NCT05026983RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drugs for melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 trial tests two targeted medicines (binimetinib and encorafenib) for melanoma that has spread to the brain. It focuses on people whose tumor has a specific BRAF V600 mutation and who have brain metastases that are progressing or need treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05059678Recruiting
Parenting support for families facing advanced cancer
This study tests a program to help parents with advanced cancer support their children and manage family life during treatment. It may help you feel more confident as a parent while coping with cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05010031RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation for metastatic cancer with an ATM mutation
This trial tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation can help control metastatic tumors that carry a specific genetic change in the ATM gene. It may reduce side effects by using less radiation, while still aiming to keep the tumor under control.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04986423RecruitingPhase 2
Add ZEN003694 to enzalutamide for resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone in men whose prostate cancer has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone lowering treatments. It focuses on people who either did not respond well to abiraterone (poor responders) or did respond (responders), then compares outcomes between treatment groups.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03364530RecruitingPhase 2
Liver artery chemotherapy for non-surgical bile duct cancer
This trial tests delivering two chemotherapy medicines directly into the liver’s artery in people with bile duct cancer inside the liver that cannot be removed with curative surgery. It aims to control the cancer after first-line treatment and see how well this targeted approach works.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04983095Recruiting
Targeted radiation for a few prostate cancer metastases
This trial looks at whether a precise form of radiation (stereotactic body radiotherapy) can control a small number of prostate cancer spots seen on a special scan (PSMA PET/CT). It may help by treating limited metastases while avoiding unnecessary treatment elsewhere.
