Prato, TuscanyAges Any age - NCT03740893RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug to block DNA damage in triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment given around the time of breast surgery to help shrink or control residual (remaining) triple-negative breast cancer. It also checks biomarkers (lab signals) to understand who benefits, with some people receiving anti–PD-L1 immunotherapy and some not.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18 years+ - NCT07200830RecruitingPhase 3
Testing different schedules of a targeted radiation drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests two different dosing schedules of a drug called Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT, which delivers radiation directly to prostate cancer cells. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread, who have not yet had chemotherapy for this stage of the disease.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07751536Recruiting
Proton radiation and intrathecal chemo for lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a combination of proton radiation to the brain and spine plus chemotherapy given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the lining of the brain and has continued to grow despite taking a third-generation TKI medicine like osimertinib.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT01994057Recruiting
Looking back at EGFR-targeted pills for lung cancer
This study looks back at how people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with EGFR-targeted medicines (gefitinib, erlotinib, and osimertinib). It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what side effects to expect.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT05310643RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and ipilimumab for bowel cancer resistant to anti-PD1
This Phase 2 study tests two immunotherapy medicines (nivolumab and ipilimumab) in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to anti-PD1 treatment. It focuses on tumors with mismatch repair problems (dMMR) and/or high microsatellite instability (MSI).
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06518382Recruiting
Study of leftover tumor after chemo and trastuzumab
This study looks at leftover breast cancer cells (after chemo and targeted therapy) to find out why some cells resist treatment. It may help doctors better understand how to treat HER2-positive breast cancer in the future.
