Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting osimertinib with or without bevacizumab helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. Your EGFR mutation test result and past treatments are key to whether you can join.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05113537RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib before PSMA cancer therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether taking abemaciclib before a PSMA-targeted radioligand can help people with advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer. The goal is to improve how well the PSMA therapy works while staying safe.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06096844RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus immunotherapy vs immunotherapy alone for older adults with advanced lung cancer
This trial compares chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy to immunotherapy alone for adults 70 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific protein level (PD-L1 1-49%). It aims to find which treatment works better for this group.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT04430452RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab with or without tremelimumab after liver radiation
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drugs durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) can help control hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) after you receive palliative, targeted radiation. It especially focuses on people whose cancer continued to grow after, or without, certain prior immune therapies.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422806RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo for aggressive sarcoma
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06518057RecruitingPhase 2
Sparing memory during brain radiation for leptomeningeal metastases
This trial tests a special type of radiation that avoids the memory center of the brain (the hippocampus) while treating cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It may help reduce side effects on thinking and memory for people with breast or lung cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05642572RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combinations for EGFR- and MET-changed lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests combinations of targeted medicines to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has changes in both EGFR and MET genes. It is for people whose cancer continued to grow even after treatment with osimertinib, the most recent therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 minutes+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03582124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Panitumumab dye to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special dye drug (panitumumab-IRDye800) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer areas while operating. If it works, it could improve how well cancer tissue is found and removed during planned lung surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT06745076RecruitingPhase 2
Using a blood test to safely lower chemo for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors safely reduce chemotherapy for people with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. If you have stage 3 or 4 Hodgkin lymphoma that hasn't been treated yet and are healthy enough for strong chemo, this study may be an option for you.
Palo Alto, 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 - NCT07776353Recruiting
Understanding weight loss in advanced cancer
This study looks at how weight loss and muscle loss affect people with advanced cancer. It aims to find different types of weight loss to better guide treatment and care.
