Study of TUB-040 with Standard Drugs for Ovarian Cancer
This study tests a new medicine called TUB-040, given together with standard ovarian cancer drugs like carboplatin and bevacizumab. It is for women with ovarian cancer that has returned after responding to platinum-based chemotherapy and is growing again. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07735104RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for cancer-related weight loss
This study tests a new medicine (QLS2319) to see if it’s safe and can help people with cancer-related weight loss and muscle loss (cachexia). It’s for people whose daily activities aren’t severely limited by their cancer.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–55 - NCT07734116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab for solid tumors and epithelioid sarcoma
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) in children and adults with certain hard-to-treat solid tumors. It may help if standard treatments haven't worked or aren't an option.
Chiba, ChibaAges 12 years+ - NCT07735377RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SHR-6914 for Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new drug called SHR-6914 in men with prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps shrink or control the cancer, and to learn how the body processes it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07733674RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new imaging agent for brain and pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new imaging agent that may help see certain solid tumors (like brain cancer or pancreatic cancer) more clearly. You will receive a single injection of a radioactive tracer, then have several scans over a few days to see where the tracer goes and how long it stays.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07735533RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
UB-VV400 with rapamycin for large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests an experimental treatment called UB-VV400 given with another drug, rapamycin, for people with large B-cell lymphoma that has not responded to standard therapy. The treatment targets a protein called CD22 on lymphoma cells and may help your immune system fight the cancer.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05594095RecruitingPhase 2
Study for advanced ER+ HER2− breast cancer after CDK4/6 therapy
This Phase 2 trial tests an investigational “SNF platform” treatment for advanced ER+ (estrogen-receptor positive) and HER2− breast cancer in people who already tried CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for cancers that have come back or spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06452745Recruiting
Early colon cancer detection using a blood test
This study uses a simple blood test to find early signs of colorectal cancer in people who already had a positive stool test. If it works, it could help avoid unnecessary colonoscopies in the future.
Reus, TarragonaAges 50–70 - NCT06623565Recruiting
Advanced imaging for extensive brain tumor removal
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06619002Recruiting
Using video to make uterine cancer surgery safer
This study is collecting videos from a type of minimally invasive surgery called sentinel lymph node dissection for endometrial or cervical cancer. The goal is to use deep learning (a type of artificial intelligence) to help surgeons identify important structures and any spread of cancer during the procedure, making the surgery safer and more effective.
RomaAges 18–99 - NCT06624098Recruiting
Early TIPS for Advanced Liver Cancer with Vein Blockage
This study tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) early in people with advanced liver cancer and a vein blockage helps their other treatments work better. It is for patients who are already taking lenvatinib and immunotherapy.
