CEA-targeting CAR-T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR-T) designed to attack cancer cells that make a protein called CEA. It may be an option for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, gastric, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06196294RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered immune cells for cancers with GPC3 or mesothelin
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy made from your own cells (gamma-delta T cells) that are engineered to find and attack cancers that have GPC3 or mesothelin proteins. It may be an option for people with advanced cancer who have not had gene therapy before and are in generally good health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06242470RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06926075RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early trial of KESONOTIDE™ for solid tumors
This trial tests a new tablet called KESONOTIDE™ for people with solid tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if it can help when other treatments have stopped working or are not an option.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04970056Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer risk and early-detection registry study
This study builds a database of people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (or certain early warning findings) to help find better ways to detect the disease early. You may be asked to complete health questionnaires and possibly donate a blood/saliva/swab sample.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT05841420RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-intensity chemo for fragile pancreatic cancer patients
This Phase 2 trial compares a standard gemcitabine approach versus a reduced-dose combination chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It aims to find a treatment that works while being safer for “fragile” patients who can’t tolerate full-dose chemotherapy.
