Study of chemo, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly to the liver, a targeted therapy pill, and an immunotherapy drug for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink or control the cancer.
Tianjin, TiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06851299RecruitingPhase 2
Trop2-ADC alone or with immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called Trop2-ADC, either alone or combined with immunotherapy, for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06851247RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiation plus toripalimab for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. You will get chemotherapy and radiation, followed by maintenance therapy with an immunotherapy drug called toripalimab to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05565326Recruiting
Testing MR-guided radiation checks for glioblastoma
This study tests how best to measure and track glioblastoma treatment while using MRI (a body scanner) to guide radiation. It may help improve how doctors assess the radiation response during therapy.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06849518Recruiting
Blood test to track immunotherapy response in lung cancer
This study is looking at a simple blood test to see if it can help track how well your immunotherapy is working. If you have advanced lung cancer and are getting a standard immunotherapy drug, you may be able to join.
Kingsport, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT03943004RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug DFP-14927 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests DFP-14927, a new study drug, in adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It’s designed to see if the drug is safe and to learn how it works in people with limited treatment options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05512481RecruitingPhase 2
Study combination treatment before surgery for high-risk acral melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines given before surgery for people with high-risk acral melanoma (a skin cancer type). It aims to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see how well the treatment works and is tolerated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06208462RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery, an immunotherapy drug, and a targeted therapy pill before surgery for a type of bile duct cancer that has a high chance of coming back. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose cancer is still removable but has certain high-risk features.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06203106Recruiting
NYSCF Scientific Discovery Biobank
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
New York, New YorkAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06350539Recruiting
Personalized Cancer Models Research Study
This study aims to create personalized models (like miniature tumors in a dish) from your cells to better understand your cancer and find new ways to treat it. Both people with solid tumors and healthy volunteers are welcome to participate.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05487170RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early trial of RNK05047 for advanced cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests an experimental medicine (RNK05047) in people with advanced solid tumors or diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma whose standard treatments haven’t worked or can’t be tolerated.
