Tracking health for people with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm
This study follows people with a rare blood cancer called BPDCN who are starting or recently started a medicine called Elzonris (tagraxofusp). It collects health information to see how the treatment works over time.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07785180Recruiting
Observational study of BPDCN patients treated with chemotherapy
This study looks back at the health records of people who were treated for BPDCN (a rare blood cancer) with chemotherapy as their first treatment. The goal is to learn more about how the disease progresses and how well treatments work in the real world. If you meet the criteria, your past medical data may be included.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07790510RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of HSK42360 with cetuximab for BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug (HSK42360-Na) combined with standard treatments (cetuximab with or without chemotherapy) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific BRAF mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to check its safety.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07784374RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new targeted therapies for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests three new targeted drug combinations for pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D). They are comparing the study drug alone versus combining it with other investigational drugs to see which works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07787208RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called ONO-7429 for people with advanced or recurrent solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help control the cancer.
Kashiwa, ChibaAges 18 years+ - NCT06522555RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Pola-ZR2 vs ZR2 for older adults with lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (Pola-ZR2) against a standard combination (ZR2) for older adults with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It aims to see if the new mix is more effective and safe.
ShanghaiAges 70 years+ - NCT06536959RecruitingPhase 2
VA plus PD-1 inhibitor for relapsed AML and high-risk MDS
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—a chemotherapy-like agent called VA and a PD-1 inhibitor (which helps your immune system fight cancer)—for people with AML or high-risk MDS that has not responded to or returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can work better than standard treatments alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06536400RecruitingPhase 1
Testing HSK42360 for solid tumors with BRAF V600 mutation
This trial tests a new drug, HSK42360, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific gene change called BRAF V600. It may be an option if other treatments have stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05401318Recruiting
Personalized treatment planning for colorectal cancer surgery
This study focuses on tailoring (customizing) treatment plans for people with colorectal cancer who are scheduled for curative surgery. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment approach after surgery using standard follow-up information.
