QUAIL-100 for Children With Blood Cancers After Stem Cell Transplant
This study tests a new experimental treatment called QUAIL-100 in children and young adults who have had a stem cell transplant for a serious blood cancer. The treatment is designed to help the immune system fight remaining cancer cells.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1.5 years–39 years - NCT07644598RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted Radiation Therapy for Low to Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new radiation treatment approach that uses MRI imaging to target specific tumor areas within the prostate while reducing radiation to healthy tissue. It may help patients with early-stage prostate cancer get effective treatment with fewer side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07739511RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral paclitaxel for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests an oral form of paclitaxel combined with standard HER2 therapy given before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT07087054RecruitingPhase 3
A daily pill for carcinoid syndrome symptoms
This trial tests an oral daily medication, paltusotine, to reduce flushing and other symptoms of carcinoid syndrome in people with neuroendocrine tumors. It may be an option for those who need treatment and have stable disease.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02507141Recruiting
Check oral cancer images during surgery using a special camera
This study tests whether a special in-mouth imaging tool can capture clear images of oral cancer before surgery, compared with the final lab diagnosis from tissue (pathology). If the images match the pathology, it could help doctors better assess tumors using real-time imaging.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06801236RecruitingPhase 1
A new drug for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to treatment
This early-phase trial tests a new study drug called ACE-232 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if the drug is safe and may help slow the cancer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06441331RecruitingPhase 1
Lu-177 edotreotide for children with SSTR-positive tumors
This trial tests a radioactive drug called Lu-177 edotreotide for children with a certain type of tumor (SSTR-positive) that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to find the right dose and see how safe it is.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–18 - NCT06076538Recruiting
PET/MR scan for better understanding kidney tumors
This study uses a special PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of kidney masses. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help decide the best treatment, without needing a biopsy or prior treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07739485RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral paclitaxel before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests an oral form of a common chemo drug, paclitaxel, given before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to find the best dose and see how well it shrinks tumors.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT06923774Recruiting

St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07717307Recruiting
Comparing two neck surgeries for oral cancer spread
This trial tests whether a smaller neck surgery works as well as a larger one for people with oral cancer that has spread to one lymph node. The goal is to see if less extensive surgery can reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
