This Phase 2 study tests how well a treatment plan using palbociclib followed by talazoparib (and possibly atezolizumab) works in certain people with advanced ER-positive breast cancer. It may help by targeting cancer biology linked to BRCA/HRD changes and by strengthening how the cancer is controlled.
Seoul, Gannam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT05382728RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug for EGFR-mutant lung cancer without prior treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies TY-9591 in people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR gene changes. It’s for those who haven’t had earlier medicines for advanced lung cancer, and it aims to see if the drug works better or safer than the comparison treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06767306RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus immunotherapy for limited spread melanoma
This trial tests if combining targeted radiation (SBRT) with standard immunotherapy works better for melanoma that has spread to a few spots in the body (but not the brain). It is for people who have not yet had treatment for their current spread.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04938986Recruiting
Testing a tumor marker to predict colon cancer relapse risk
This study looks at whether a lab test on your tumor can better predict the chance that non-metastatic colon cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will compare relapse risk using the Immunoscore® test to help guide follow-up and treatment decisions.
MarseilleAges 18–80 - NCT04762641RecruitingPhase 1
First-dose safety study of ABL503 for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and side effects of ABL503 and finds the best dose to study next. It is for people with advanced cancer that is growing despite prior treatment options.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04838899Recruiting
Radiation for limited, progressing prostate cancer on abiraterone
This study tests whether a very focused type of radiation (SABR) can control a small number of prostate cancer spots that are starting to grow while you’re already on abiraterone. It may help by treating only the areas that are progressing, while other areas remain controlled.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05019716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
