CHT102 for mesothelin-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CHT102 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a certain marker (mesothelin). The treatment is for those who haven't responded to standard therapy or who don't have a standard first-line option.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07632079RecruitingPhase 2
Fast-Track Radiation and Chemotherapy for Esophageal Cancer
This study tests a shorter course of combined radiation therapy and chemotherapy (using drugs called paclitaxel and carboplatin) to treat esophageal cancer with the goal of curing it. The faster treatment schedule may help patients finish therapy sooner while still being effective.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07616427RecruitingPhase 2
New drug plus hormone therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called fovinaciclib combined with hormone therapy and HER2-targeting drugs for early-stage breast cancer that has specific markers (HR-positive and HER2-positive). The goal is to shrink tumors before surgery and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07381829RecruitingPhase 1
HC010 plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called HC010 combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer, including certain types of non-small cell or small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07061769Enrolling by invitation
Using a gentle head device to help with nerve pain from chemo
This trial tests a low-intensity cranial PEMF device to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Participants use the device at home and receive text messages to track their symptoms.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT05613413RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after lung cancer control
This trial tests whether continuing treatment with cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after your metastatic squamous lung cancer responds (or is stable) can help people live longer and stay in control. It may be an option if your cancer has already shown it can respond to initial (first-line) treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06770569RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HRS-3802 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called HRS-3802 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05384496RecruitingPhase 2
Axitinib and nivolumab for advanced mucosal melanoma
This trial studies how well two medicines—axitinib and nivolumab—work for people with advanced melanoma that starts in moist “mucosal” areas (like the mouth, nose, throat, or bowel). It may help shrink tumors and control the disease by boosting the immune system and targeting tumor growth.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06673628RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for skin angiosarcoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (pembrolizumab and lenvatinib) for people with a rare skin cancer called cutaneous angiosarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor or slows its growth.
