Injecting a cancer medicine into tumors plus pembrolizumab
This Phase 1/2 study tests a medicine injected directly into a tumor, alone or with pembrolizumab (an immune-therapy drug given through a vein). It is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have grown despite standard treatments, aiming to improve tumor control.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04431024Recruiting
Testing imaging and biopsy options for people with BAP1 risk
This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT04452162Recruiting
MRI study for salivary gland tumors
This trial uses special MRI scans to learn how salivary gland tumors work in the body. It may help improve diagnosis and how tumors are evaluated without needing treatment yet.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04471987RecruitingPhase 1
IL-12 drug for metastatic cancer after checkpoint therapy
This Phase 1 trial studies the safety of an investigational drug called IL-12-L19L19 and looks for early signs it may help control advanced (metastatic) solid tumors. It is designed for people whose cancer has continued to grow even after treatment with immune “checkpoint” therapies.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18–80 - NCT04475705RecruitingPhase 4
Propofol or sevoflurane for anesthesia in child tumor surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicine—propofol versus sevoflurane—during planned surgery to remove a solid tumor. It aims to find which option is safer and works better for children having curative tumor surgery.
Hong KongAges 6 months–18 years - NCT04510766Recruiting
Test tumor genetic results to guide early trial treatments
This trial looks at your tumor’s genetic information from stored tissue to help match you to early-phase treatment options. It may help doctors find a therapy that fits your tumor, especially when standard options have limited benefit.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04516720Recruiting
Build a database of brain and spinal cord tumor cases
This study builds a large medical database of people with primary brain or spinal cord tumors treated at the Montpellier Cancer Institute. It may help researchers understand patterns of care and outcomes, which can guide future research and treatment decisions.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04520672Recruiting
Blood tests that look for circulating tumor cells in cancer
This study uses blood samples to look for tiny pieces of cancer cells called circulating tumor cells. Your results may help researchers understand how cancer cells spread and how cancer could be monitored over time.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT04530890Recruiting
Testing blood tumor DNA in digestive and breast cancers
This study looks at a blood test for “circulating tumor DNA” (tiny pieces of cancer-related DNA in the blood). It may help doctors learn more about digestive, gynecologic, or breast cancers and how patients respond when treatment like chemotherapy or immunotherapy is needed.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT04570423RecruitingPhase 2
Eflapegrastim safety study for children and teens on chemo
This trial studies how safe eflapegrastim is in pediatric patients with certain solid tumors or lymphomas who are starting chemotherapy that lowers white blood cells. It also looks at how the medicine behaves in the body to help reduce the risk of dangerous infections.
