Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04747054RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus pembrolizumab for newly diagnosed metastatic head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune system medicine) to radiation can improve outcomes in people newly diagnosed with metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may help the immune system better recognize and fight the cancer alongside radiation.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT04731610Recruiting
Radiation after thymoma surgery versus watchful waiting
This trial compares two approaches after complete surgical removal of stage IIb or III thymoma: targeted radiation (conformal post-operative radiotherapy) or no further treatment right away (surveillance). It aims to see whether adding radiation lowers the risk of the cancer coming back without causing unacceptable side effects.
CaenAges 18–75 - NCT04723095Recruiting
Cervical neuroendocrine cancer registry for past and present patients
This study builds a registry (a secure database) of people who have had cervical neuroendocrine cancer, including small cell or large cell types. It helps researchers learn more about these cancers and may improve future care and research planning.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04762199RecruitingPhase 1
MRX-2843 with osimertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether combining MRX-2843 with osimertinib can help control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It is designed to find the safest dose and check early signs of tumor response.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04719156RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescent dye to check tumor margins during surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a fluorescent dye during tumor surgery can help the surgical team better see where the tumor ends. It may help aim for complete removal and lower the chance of the tumor coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT04271579Recruiting
Surgery for early prostate cancer spread seen on PSMA PET
This trial studies whether operating on a small, one-sided (unilateral) area of prostate cancer spread in the pelvic lymph nodes—found on a PSMA PET scan—can help control recurrence. It’s meant for people whose PSA is still low and whose spread appears limited on the scan.
HamburgAges 18–75 - NCT04678648RecruitingPhase 1
Testing RSC-1255 in advanced cancers with RAS changes
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new drug, RSC-1255, in people with advanced or metastatic cancers that have RAS mutations. It’s mainly focused on whether the treatment can be given safely and at what dose, and to see if it may shrink tumors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04634357RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing donor-like immune T cells for children with liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (ET140203 T cells) in children and teens with certain liver cancers that have come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether these T cells can shrink tumors and is mainly focused on safety and early effectiveness.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04683679RecruitingPhase 2
