Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05516628RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant atezolizumab plus bevacizumab after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies whether adding atezolizumab and bevacizumab after complete liver cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It also uses “multi-omics” tests (special lab tests on your tissue/blood) to help predict who is more likely to respond or resist treatment.
SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT01746836RecruitingPhase 2
Ponatinib for CML that didn’t respond to prior pills
This trial studies ponatinib as a second treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when it didn’t fully respond or couldn’t be tolerated with at least one prior CML pill. It aims to see whether ponatinib can better control leukemia levels after earlier treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06023862RecruitingPhase 2
Study of dostarlimab and bevacizumab for recurrent clear cell cancer
This trial tests a drug called dostarlimab alone or with bevacizumab compared to standard chemotherapy for women whose clear cell cancer of the ovary, uterus, cervix, vagina, or vulva has come back within a year of platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if these newer treatments can help control the cancer better.
Clayton, Clayton Rd.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04055649RecruitingPhase 2
Test of ONC201 and weekly paclitaxel for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether ONC201 given with weekly paclitaxel can control platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors or slowing growth in people whose cancer has progressed after platinum chemotherapy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT03896269RecruitingPhase 1
CPX-351 for high-risk MDS or CMML that came back
This Phase 1 trial studies CPX-351, a cancer medicine, in people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) whose disease relapsed or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink or control the leukemia and improve blood counts in patients who cannot or do not want a stem cell transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07494864Recruiting
Urinary tract health and microbiome study
This study looks at how bacteria and the immune system affect the lower urinary tract. It includes healthy volunteers and people with various urinary conditions, like infections or bladder pain.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05058651RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced neuroendocrine cancer outside the lung
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (a rare and aggressive cancer) that started outside the lung. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07181941RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing lower doses of linvoseltamab for multiple myeloma

Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06160206RecruitingPhase 2
Study of retifanlimab, bevacizumab, and radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (retifanlimab), a targeted drug (bevacizumab), and low-dose radiation for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink or slow the tumor.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT07283679RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NK cell therapy with two immune agents for returning lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of specially grown immune cells (NK cells) plus two drugs that help them attack cancer. It's for people with a type of B-cell lymphoma that came back after at least two prior treatments or a stem cell transplant, and who have either failed or are not eligible for CAR-T cell therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07371403Recruiting
Car-t cell therapy for relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia
