Patient advisory board for inclusive cancer research
This study is about forming a community advisory board (a group of patients and researchers) to help make cancer research at Dana-Farber more inclusive and fair. It is not a treatment trial—instead, you would review study materials and give your perspective.

Study of treatment patterns and outcomes for advanced prostate cancer patients
This study looks at real-world data from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have already used certain treatments, including a newer drug called lutetium-177 PSMA-617. It aims to understand how these treatments work and what happens to patients over time.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18–115 - NCT02544022Recruiting
Testing and validating pain and symptom questionnaires for NF1
This study checks whether patient surveys (questionnaires) can reliably measure symptoms and pain in people with NF1 who have plexiform neurofibromas. It helps create better tools for tracking how you feel and how treatments may affect quality of life.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 5 years+ - NCT06840977Recruiting
Low dose chemo for older adults with colorectal cancer
This trial tests a lower-dose chemotherapy regimen for adults aged 70 or older with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not been treated yet. It aims to see if a gentler approach can still be effective and easier to tolerate.
Genova, GEAges 70–99 - NCT07264985Recruiting
Gut bacteria and diarrhea in breast cancer patients on pyrotinib
This study looks at how gut bacteria relate to diarrhea in breast cancer patients who are taking a drug called pyrotinib. By understanding this link, doctors hope to better manage side effects in the future.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06390319RecruitingPhase 2
Adding dasatinib or venetoclax for children with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding either dasatinib or venetoclax to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for children aged 1 to 18 with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. It compares the effects of these added drugs to help doctors find better treatment options.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–18 - NCT05023018RecruitingPhase 2
NEO100 for recurrent or progressive high-grade meningioma
This trial studies NEO100, a treatment for adults and children (age 12+) with Grade II or III meningioma that has come back or kept growing after surgery and radiation. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth when standard options have not worked well enough.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06388967Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer detection study
This study is looking at blood or tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer and from those without it. The goal is to find ways to detect the cancer earlier.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06747910Recruiting
Remote test for nerve problems after childhood cancer
This study tests if a remote, at-home approach can identify problems with the autonomic nervous system (the part that controls heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion) in adult survivors of childhood leukemia or lymphoma. If you join, you will complete a set of simple tasks (the Ewing battery) from home to see how your body responds.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–25 years - NCT06948448RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced colorectal cancer with PD-L1 biomarker
This trial tests a new drug (ONO-4578) combined with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not been treated before and has a specific marker called PD-L1. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07665190RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination before surgery for advanced throat cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a targeted therapy (EGFR-ADC) and an immunotherapy drug before surgery to shrink and control locally advanced throat cancer. It may help make surgery more effective and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07028489Recruiting
Studying a standard-care comparison group for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial collects information from people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer to create a comparison group. It helps researchers understand how well new treatments work without giving any experimental medicine.
Monterey, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07630935Recruiting
Breast Cancer Risk Check for Night Shift Workers
This study helps women who work night shifts understand their personal breast cancer risk and get personalized advice to stay healthy. Researchers will review your health history and work schedule to create a customized care plan.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03275311Recruiting
Care approach changes for metastatic breast cancer
This trial looks at how treatment care for metastatic breast cancer has evolved over time. You may be eligible if you are an adult receiving active cancer treatment in a comprehensive cancer center in France.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05951777RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells from your own fat for chronic brain injury
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT07704177RecruitingPhase 2
A study of trastuzumab rezetecan plus two other drugs for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (trastuzumab rezetecan, adebrelimab, and lenvatinib) for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has HER2 protein on its cells. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06937177RecruitingPhase 2
Testing mifomelatide to help maintain weight during chemo
This trial tests an investigational drug called mifomelatide (TCMCB07) to see if it can help people with newly diagnosed colorectal or pancreatic cancer maintain a healthy weight while receiving certain types of chemotherapy. You would give yourself a daily injection under the skin.
