Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06399419RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBM588 with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a probiotic (CBM588) to a standard immunotherapy combination (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced kidney cancer. It is for people with a specific type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery, who have not had systemic treatment before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472804Recruiting
Insomnia in advanced lung cancer patients
This study looks at how common insomnia (trouble sleeping) is in people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to better understand sleep problems so doctors can help patients sleep better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06495125RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for a type of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (defactinib and avutometinib) plus an immunotherapy (nivolumab) for people with advanced lung adenocarcinoma that has a specific gene mutation (LKB1) and has stopped responding to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06498648RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib with gemcitabine for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether adding the targeted drug abemaciclib to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine) works better against certain soft tissue sarcomas. It is for people whose tumors have a normal Rb gene, which may help the drug work.
