Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05687123RecruitingPhase 1
Adding sunitinib to Lutathera for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This early-phase study tests whether adding sunitinib (a targeted pill) to Lutathera (a radioactive treatment) works better for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It also checks safety, since this combination has not been widely studied yet.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05655312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation melanoma treatment with or without nivolumab
This early-stage study tests whether a targeted radioactive drug can shrink advanced melanoma, either alone or along with nivolumab (an immune-activating medicine). You may be eligible if your melanoma shows a specific target on scan imaging and has progressed despite prior melanoma treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05646316RecruitingPhase 3
Sentinel lymph node mapping to reduce leg swelling after surgery
This study tests whether a special way of finding lymph nodes during hysterectomy can lower the risk of long-term leg swelling or related dysfunction in people with stage I endometrial cancer. It compares standard lymph node assessment with sentinel lymph node mapping and looks at how this affects day-to-day leg functioning.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT05588388RecruitingPhase 2
Testing bevacizumab with chemo and immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding bevacizumab to chemo plus immunotherapy (including atezolizumab) can improve outcomes in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that has spread to the liver. It may help by blocking tumor blood vessel growth while boosting anti-cancer immune and treatment effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05534386Recruiting
Self-management support for Chinese cancer survivors
This trial tests a self-management program to help Chinese cancer survivors after treatment. It may help you build practical skills for recovery and day-to-day health after cancer treatment ends.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05529251RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose treatment for small stage II seminoma
This trial tests whether a less intensive treatment can be used for testicular seminoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes but is still small (under 3 cm). It aims to keep the cure rate high while reducing side effects.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05512364RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with ctDNA relapse
This trial tests whether elacestrant can help stop or delay breast cancer coming back in people whose blood test shows “ctDNA relapse” after early breast cancer treatment. It’s meant for hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients who are already taking hormone (endocrine) therapy and have no visible spread on scans.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT04696575RecruitingPhase 2
Lamivudine added to chemoimmunotherapy for extensive-stage lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding lamivudine to standard chemoimmunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination controls the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05487846Recruiting
Peer support during genetic testing for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial offers support from a trained peer to help African American men understand and go through genetic testing for prostate cancer. It may help you feel less overwhelmed and better prepared during the testing and decision-making process.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05500391RecruitingPhase 2
Testing whether remote nurse monitoring works like in-person checks
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of checking your cancer follow-up: a doctor or nurse visits in person versus remote monitoring by phone and imaging. The goal is to see whether remote monitoring can safely replace or match in-person care for certain low-risk cancers and after surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05438563Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate cancer ablation with ultrasound from the urethra
This trial tests a newer way to treat certain low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancers using MRI guidance and an ultrasound probe placed through the urethra. It aims to destroy the tumor while using imaging to help target it more precisely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT05428007RecruitingPhase 2
Sarilumab with three immunotherapy drugs for advanced melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding sarilumab (an immune-blocking medicine) to three immunotherapy medicines can shrink unresectable, advanced melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve how well the immune system controls the cancer, especially in Stage III or Stage IV disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05372614RecruitingPhase 1
Testing trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) and neratinib, for people with solid tumors that have a HER2 gene change. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works well for cancers that have not responded to at least one prior treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05372640RecruitingPhase 1
Drug combo trial for rare cancers with shared NUT features
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs (ZEN003694 and abemaciclib) in teens and adults with metastatic or unresectable NUT carcinoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors. It may help by finding a safer dose and whether the drug combination can shrink or control tumors that do not respond to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05398094RecruitingPhase 2
Sotorasib for KRAS-mutant Stage III lung cancer without chemo-radiation
This Phase 2 study tests sotorasib (also called AMG510) in people with Stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and that has a specific KRAS mutation (p.G12C). You may be able to join if you cannot safely receive chemo-radiotherapy at the same time, and the study checks whether sotorasib can help shrink or control the cancer.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
