Recruiting studies
- NCT04278118Recruiting
Proton radiation study for non-cancer brain tumor types
This trial tests a radiation plan that gives treatment in fewer, larger “fractions” using proton beams (or sometimes photon beams) for certain non-cancer brain tumor types. It aims to see how well this approach works while keeping side effects manageable.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04300062Recruiting
Rebiopsy of lung cancer after treatment no longer works
This trial studies patients with lung cancer whose disease has continued to grow despite immunotherapy. It involves taking a new tissue sample (a rebiopsy) to help doctors understand what changed during treatment and guide next steps.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT04307901Recruiting
Test a capsule that checks the colon when colonoscopy isn’t finished
This trial tests whether a swallowable camera capsule can safely check the colon and find possible tumor-related issues when a standard colonoscopy can’t be completed. It may help people who can’t or don’t want another colonoscopy right away.
SvendborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04322578RecruitingPhase 2
Crizotinib versus standard chemotherapy for MET exon 14 lung cancer
This study compares crizotinib to standard chemotherapy for people with advanced (spread) non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific change called MET exon 14 skipping. The goal is to see which treatment works better and how safely it controls the cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324125Recruiting
Chemo plus immune therapy for HER2-positive advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding an immune medicine (an antibody that helps your immune system recognize cancer, such as PD-1) to chemotherapy helps people with advanced HER2-positive non-small cell lung cancer. It may be aimed at people who have never had cancer treatment before.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324151Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for lung cancer that may be removed
This trial tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to standard chemotherapy helps people with certain non-squamous lung cancers that doctors think might be surgically removed. You might be considered if your planned treatment involves a “double platinum” chemotherapy or crizotinib and your cancer is potentially resectable.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04322617RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Anlotinib plus immunotherapy for lung cancer after first treatment
This trial studies an oral targeted medicine (anlotinib) combined with an immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitor) for lung cancer that did not respond to first-line chemo-immunotherapy. It may help shrink tumors and improve disease control after standard treatment has failed.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04322734Recruiting
Blood tests study immune and metabolism markers in neurodevelopment
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 18 years - NCT04322890RecruitingPhase 2
Study for advanced lung cancer with gene mutations
This Phase 2 trial studies treatment strategies for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have certain cancer gene mutations (like EGFR, ALK, or ROS1). It aims to see how different treatments affect survival and tumor response.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04324164Recruiting
Testing outcomes with EGFR pills for uncommon lung cancer mutations
This study looks at how well an EGFR-targeted pill (called an EGFR-TKI) works for people with advanced lung cancer that has an uncommon EGFR mutation. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and improve survival outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04333706RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sarilumab plus capecitabine for certain breast cancers
This trial studies whether adding sarilumab to capecitabine can shrink or control metastatic or high-risk breast cancer that lacks HER2 and is either triple-negative or hormone-resistant. It aims to find a safe dose first, then look at how well the treatment works compared with historical results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04341181RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted cancer treatment chosen by tumor genetic test results
This Phase 2 trial matches people with advanced cancer to a targeted treatment based on a genetic (DNA) or protein (IHC) test from their tumor. It’s for cancers that are no longer responding to standard treatment or where no standard option is available.
Aalborg, AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04389281RecruitingPhase 1
X-ray light-activated therapy for hard-to-treat skin tumors
This early-phase study tests an X-ray–activated medicine that is delivered directly into selected tumors to help control cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. If the injected area can be treated safely, it may shrink or slow the tumor and improve local control.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04390737RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug HH2853 for hard-to-treat lymphoma and solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests the safety and early effectiveness of HH2853 in people whose cancer has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help shrink tumors and guide future treatment for specific cancer types and genetic changes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04394052Recruiting
Imaging tests for suspected bone or soft-tissue tumors
This trial studies new imaging methods to better identify and stage (find how far it has spread) suspected bone or soft-tissue tumors. It may help your care team choose the most accurate next steps based on your scans.
Nancy, LorraineAges 18 years+ - NCT04416165Recruiting
FDG versus FAPI PET scans for different cancers
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans—one that uses FDG and one that uses FAPI—to help doctors see and evaluate cancer in different situations. It may help improve how well scans detect tumors and guide care, though it requires getting both scans scheduled.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT04417803Recruiting
Testing blood and tumor markers to guide lymphoma treatment
This study looks at “biomarkers” (measurable signs in your tumor and possibly blood) to understand your lymphoma’s genetic make-up. The goal is to see which markers may help doctors decide on treatment and timing.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04428528Recruiting
Ultrasound-like pictures that track breast tumors during chemotherapy
This study uses a special light-based imaging scan to learn more about breast masses and how tumors may respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The scan is meant to help doctors better characterize tumors and potentially track treatment response.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04434040RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and sacituzumab to prevent breast cancer return
This trial tests two medicines after surgery and chemotherapy to help lower the risk that triple-negative breast cancer comes back. It’s for people whose cancer still showed “residual” invasive disease after neoadjuvant (before-surgery) chemotherapy, and whose blood test shows traces of tumor DNA.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04471506Recruiting
Breathing and walking program for hormonal and tumor markers
This study tests whether a combined program of interval aerobic training (alternate “hard/easy” exercise) and mindfulness breathing can improve hormone, metabolic (body chemistry/energy), and tumor marker measures in women after menopause. If you meet the criteria, you may benefit from structured activity and breathing techniques while researchers track health changes over time.
CairoAges 55–65 - NCT04495790Recruiting
Cancer patient study to track health outcomes
