Salt Lake City, UtahAges 50–80 - NCT02896335RecruitingPhase 2
Palbociclib and pembrolizumab for brain metastases
This study tests two drugs, palbociclib and pembrolizumab, for people whose solid tumors (like breast cancer or melanoma) have spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the growth of brain tumors that are progressing despite prior treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07717281Recruiting
Studying nerve-muscle organoids for refractory myasthenia gravis
This study uses lab-grown mini muscle-nerve cells (organoids) to better understand severe, hard-to-treat myasthenia gravis. It may help researchers find new treatment options for people with the AChR antibody type.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07101705RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing OriV508 for blood cancers that haven't responded to treatment
This study tests a new treatment called OriV508 for people with blood cancers (multiple myeloma or aggressive B-cell lymphoma) that have not responded to at least two previous therapies. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps shrink or control the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT03887273RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell transplant study for transverse myelitis patients
This trial tests if transplanting special cells into the spine is safe for people with transverse myelitis (a rare spinal cord inflammation) that has caused long-term weakness or trouble walking. It aims to see if these cells can help improve function.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT06672575RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ivonescimab for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab for people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard treatment. The goal is to see if this drug can help shrink the tumor or slow its growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06075953RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Active Surveillance for Hormone-Positive DCIS After Surgery
This trial tests whether active surveillance (close monitoring) is a good option for certain patients with hormone-positive DCIS who have positive surgical margins after initial surgery. You would receive no immediate additional treatment—just regular imaging and check-ups.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05473910RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered donor T cells after stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This trial tests specially engineered donor T cells (TSC-100 or TSC-101) given after a stem cell transplant to help prevent cancer relapse in people with AML, MDS, or ALL. It is for patients who have a specific genetic marker (HA-1 or HA-2) and a matched donor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07166575Recruiting
Trapezius muscle changes after physiotherapy in oral cancer
This trial tests whether physical therapy can help improve shoulder muscle movement in people recently treated for oral cancer. It focuses on patients with scapular dyskinesis, a condition where the shoulder blade doesn't move properly.
TaipeiAges 20–65 - NCT06892522RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell therapies for multiple myeloma
This trial tests new antibody treatments for multiple myeloma, given alone or with other drugs. It aims to see if they can control the disease and what side effects might occur.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07222657RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing spray before chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a freezing spray (cryotherapy) to shrink esophageal tumors before standard chemotherapy. It may help reduce tumor size and improve treatment outcomes.
Weston, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07207824RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of a drug (DV) and BCG immunotherapy for people with high-risk, early-stage bladder cancer that has not spread into the muscle. The cancer must show a specific protein called HER2 on its cells.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04348747RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus pembrolizumab for breast cancer in the brain
This trial studies whether a personalized immune-cell vaccine (dendritic cell vaccine) combined with pembrolizumab can help control brain metastases from certain types of breast cancer. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells in the brain.
