This trial tests whether adding hydroxychloroquine (a medicine that affects a cell recycling process called autophagy) can boost the anti-cancer effect of high-dose CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment in advanced solid tumors. It may help tumors respond better after prior CDK4/6 treatments have stopped working.

Modified chemo for GI cancers with non-curative intent
This trial tests a modified version of a common chemotherapy combination (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) for people with gastrointestinal cancers who are not expected to be cured. It aims to see if a simpler treatment schedule can be just as effective while reducing side effects.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT07320664Recruiting
Alcohol and Breast Cancer Risk in Young Women
This study looks at how drinking alcohol affects young women's understanding of breast cancer risk. It involves answering questions and possibly wearing a sensor to track drinking.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–25 - NCT05929768RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter chemo plus immunotherapy without anthracyclines for early TNBC
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy can work as well as standard treatment for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It avoids anthracycline drugs and may help reduce exposure to those medicines if the shorter plan is effective and safe.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07348653RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MG2512 for advanced solid tumor patients
This trial tests a new drug called MG2512 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments or who cannot take standard therapy. The study aims to understand if MG2512 is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06812052RecruitingPhase 1
Short course radiation before surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma
This study tests whether a short course of radiation before surgery can treat retroperitoneal sarcoma (a rare cancer in the back of the belly). It is for people whose tumor is removable and who have not had previous radiation in the same area.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06686745RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an experimental drug alone and with combination for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SIM0508, given alone or with another drug (olaparib), in people with advanced ovarian, prostate, breast, or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06682780RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing LM-2417 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LM-2417, for people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. The study will see if LM-2417 is safe and effective, possibly as a new option for those who have run out of standard therapies.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06679387RecruitingPhase 2
Memantine to prevent paclitaxel nerve damage in breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug memantine can help prevent or reduce nerve pain and other side effects caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel in breast cancer patients. If you are about to start weekly paclitaxel, this study may offer extra protection to your nerves.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07539285RecruitingPhase 1
HDM2024 treatment for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new cancer drug called HDM2024 in people with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is designed to target specific proteins called EGFR and HER3 on cancer cells.
