Vaccine to help stop lung cancer drug resistance
This early-phase study tests a personalized peptide vaccine designed to help prevent advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer from developing resistance to current targeted medicines. If you are stable on an ALK drug and don’t already have the specific resistance changes the vaccine targets, it may help your cancer stay controlled longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07479485RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MRG006A combo for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination called MRG006A for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with local therapies. The goal is to see if it helps shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06150664RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CTX-8371 for advanced cancers no longer helped by standard therapy
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-8371 for people with advanced cancers (melanoma, head and neck, lung, triple-negative breast, or Hodgkin lymphoma) that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. It is a first-in-human study, meaning doctors are learning if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Margate, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07140315RecruitingPhase 1
DK222 study for lung and bladder cancer
This trial tests a new imaging drug, DK222, to see how well it works in people with non-small cell lung cancer or bladder cancer who are about to start immunotherapy. It may help doctors see if the treatment is reaching the right targets.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07022483RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs standard chemo for HER2-positive endometrial cancer
This trial compares a new targeted medicine (trastuzumab deruxtecan) against standard chemotherapy for women with a certain type of advanced endometrial cancer that has high levels of HER2 protein. It's for people whose cancer is newly diagnosed and has spread to nearby tissues but not to distant organs.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06685497Recruiting
Digital app for better recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
This study tests a digital app (the COLORECTUM+ system) to help improve recovery after colorectal cancer surgery. It is designed for patients treated at Renji Hospital in Shanghai.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06417892Recruiting
Fruquintinib combo with or without immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (fruquintinib and albumin-paclitaxel) with or without an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) as a second-line treatment for advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see if adding immunotherapy improves outcomes for people who have already received immunotherapy before.
