Participants take selinexor pills to see if it can shrink or control their cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 year+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
OBX-115 cell therapy for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called OBX-115 for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04683250RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes
This trial tests an “RET-inhibitor” medicine (TAS0953/HM06) for advanced solid tumors that have RET gene changes. It may help shrink tumors by blocking cancer growth signals from the RET gene.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05957536RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for HER2-positive advanced solid cancers

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.
