Testing a new drug combination for advanced solid tumors
This trial is studying whether a new combination of two cancer drugs, ZEN003694 and talazoparib, can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. Talazoparib is a type of drug that targets cancer cells with certain DNA repair problems. The study is divided into groups based on specific gene mutations or previous treatment responses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05538130RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 16 years+ - NCT05645523RecruitingEarly Phase 1
ICG dye mapping to find lymph nodes in some childhood tumors
This early study tests using a special dye (indocyanine green, or ICG) to help surgeons find the correct “sentinel” lymph nodes during surgery in children with certain suspected tumors. If successful, it may improve how doctors remove and check lymph nodes while reducing the chance of missing important areas.

What taking part in a solid tumor study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
