Antibiotic and iodine for infection prevention in breast reconstruction
This trial tests if a combination of a pseudomonas bacteria injection and an iodine solution can help prevent infections in women having immediate breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT04363164RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone then enzalutamide to stop prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving testosterone first, then enzalutamide (a prostate cancer hormone-blocking pill), can slow or prevent worsening metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for men whose cancer progressed despite ongoing hormone-suppression treatment.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07174453RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing side effects of different doses of immunotherapy
This study compares standard dosing schedules of pembrolizumab or nivolumab (two immunotherapy drugs) to see which one causes fewer immune-related side effects. It is for people with solid tumors who are already eligible to receive one of these drugs as part of their standard care.
Westwood, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04412616RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced EGFR-positive solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a new drug (ZZ06) in adults with advanced solid cancers that have an EGFR “positive” tumor test result. It’s for people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment or who don’t have a standard option.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07132749Enrolling by invitation
NEPA for nausea prevention during T-DXd in advanced HER2+ or HER2-low breast cancer
This trial tests whether the anti-nausea combination NEPA (netupitant and palonosetron) can prevent nausea and vomiting caused by the targeted therapy T-DXd in people with advanced HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer. It may help you if you are about to start T-DXd for the first time and want to manage treatment side effects.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT06963281RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an experimental drug for late-stage solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called IBI3020 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for these patients.
Pheonix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06150885RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CAR T Cells for Solid Tumors That Have Come Back
This trial tests a new type of immune cell (CAR T) made from healthy donors to fight solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It may be an option for people with certain cancers that show a protein called PD-L1.
