Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04899908RecruitingPhase 2
Brain radiation with or without gadolinium nanoparticles for brain metastases
This trial tests whether adding tiny gadolinium-containing nanoparticles to standard brain radiation can better control brain metastases from certain cancers. It is for people with tumors that have grown after immunotherapy, are from certain cancers (like melanoma, GI, or HER2+ breast), are cystic, are large, or have come back after prior radiation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04900623RecruitingPhase 2
Using HPV blood test to guide treatment for HPV throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a “risk-adapted” treatment plan for HPV-related throat cancer, using an HPV DNA blood test to help decide how treatment is done. If your baseline blood test shows detectable HPV DNA, the study may help tailor therapy to your risk and potentially improve outcomes while limiting unnecessary treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT04916990Recruiting
Care program for rural adults with several lung and head cancers
This study looks at how to improve care for adults with certain cancers who live in rural areas and may face access problems. It mainly focuses on people receiving cancer treatment at specific Colorado-area hospitals, and who are uninsured or underinsured.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT04931732Recruiting
Liquid blood test to diagnose brain glioma
This trial checks whether a special blood test can help identify glioma (a type of brain tumor) that is new or coming back. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor using blood, alongside the usual brain scans and planned surgery.
BronAges 18–90 - NCT07137416RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new combination of cancer drugs for HER2-positive tumors and breast cancer
This trial tests the safety of combining two drugs, CX-5461 (Pidnarulex) and Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd), in people with HER2-positive solid tumors or certain types of breast cancer. If you have advanced cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments, this study may be an option.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07699276RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid-sparing nausea drug combo for high-dose chemo
This trial tests if combining two anti-nausea drugs (olanzapine and palonosetron) can prevent vomiting and nausea without using steroids in people receiving high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy for their first time.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06476067Recruiting
Predicting early esophageal cancer return after surgery
This trial uses stored tumor tissue to try to predict if esophageal cancer will come back early after surgery. It is for people who had surgery only (no chemo or radiation) and have been followed for at least 2 years.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT05250284Recruiting
Study of cancer care support for working men’s well-being
This study looks at how cancer treatment care affects the well-being of working men during the first months after diagnosis. It may help identify ways to support you while you continue working or plan to return to work.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–70 - NCT07498725RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of LRK-4189 for solid tumors that have spread or can't be removed
This trial tests a new drug called LRK-4189, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have worsened despite prior therapy. The goal is to see if it is safe, tolerable, and helpful against the cancer.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07302347RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of pembrolizumab for different cancers in Japan
This trial tests a drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to see if it helps people with several types of cancer, including relapsed or refractory lymphoma, melanoma, MSI-high or TMB-high solid tumors, and Merkel cell carcinoma. The goal is to understand if this immunotherapy can shrink or control the cancer.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 6 months+ - NCT04943913RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TIL cell therapy for brain glioma after standard treatment fails
This early-stage study tests a treatment made from your tumor’s immune cells (TILs) to help shrink brain glioma. You may be considered if your glioma is back or has spread and standard options are no longer working (or don’t exist).
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT04950959Recruiting
Registry for adults having CT-guided minimally invasive procedures
This study is an observational registry, meaning it collects information rather than testing a new treatment. It may help researchers better understand outcomes and care for adults who have CT-guided, minimally invasive procedures.
