Study of LTZ-232 for advanced colorectal and other solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called LTZ-232 in people with advanced colorectal cancer or other solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07437963RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iberdomide plus chemoimmunotherapy for neuroblastoma that returned or did not respond
This trial tests adding a new drug called iberdomide to an existing chemoimmunotherapy regimen for children and young adults with neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and more effective than current treatments.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06879041RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a radioactive drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new radioactive drug, [225Ac]-AZD2284, for men with prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The drug is designed to target cancer cells and deliver radiation directly to them, potentially slowing the cancer's growth.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06782373RecruitingPhase 2
Pacritinib for VEXAS syndrome
This trial tests whether the drug pacritinib can safely reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in people with VEXAS syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes inflammation in various parts of the body. It may be a new treatment option for those who still have inflammation despite taking steroids.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085442Recruiting
Audit of targeted lymph node biopsy for early breast cancer
This study looks at how well a special type of lymph node biopsy works for people with early breast cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes. It aims to see if this approach is effective and safe, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
BurnleyAges 18 years+ - NCT07878351Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment for large B-cell lymphoma
This study looks at whether a blood test can help doctors understand and monitor large B-cell lymphoma during treatment. It may help guide decisions about your care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05474573Recruiting
Fluorescence-guided surgery for brain tumors
This study tests a surgery that uses a special light to make tumor tissue glow, helping doctors remove as much of the tumor as safely possible. It is for people newly diagnosed with certain aggressive brain tumors or tumors that have spread to the brain from elsewhere.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT07137416RecruitingPhase 1
Combination drug study for HER2-positive breast and other cancers
This study tests a new combination of two anti-cancer drugs (CX-5461 and T-DXd) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer or other solid tumors. It aims to see if the combination is safe and how well it works.
