Finding the best dose of daratumumab for multiple myeloma patients after transplant
This trial tests different dosing schedules of daratumumab to find a more cost-effective option for patients with multiple myeloma who have already had a stem cell transplant and achieved at least a partial response. It aims to see if a lower dose can work just as well.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–70 - NCT07661771RecruitingPhase 3

Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, BG-75098, alone or with other treatments, for adults with advanced solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It may be an option if you have already tried standard treatments or if they are not suitable for you.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07617337RecruitingPhase 1
AQUA07 for ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called AQUA07 for patients with ALK-positive lung cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. You must have already tried at least one other ALK-targeting drug (but not just crizotinib alone) to be eligible.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07682831Recruiting
Studying skin biopsies with advanced microscopy
This trial uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in new ways. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better without needing extra procedures.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT06767514RecruitingPhase 3
Ivonescimab for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab as the first treatment for people with advanced (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have high levels of PD-L1 (a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system). The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05235633Enrolling by invitation
Daily activities after cancer treatment in children
This study looks at how children and teens manage everyday activities like dressing, eating, and moving around right after finishing treatment for leukemia or lymphoma. It aims to understand their needs and help improve recovery support.
MunichAges 4–18 - NCT07365319RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug combo for stage 4 lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called EIK1001 combined with standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy for people with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding EIK1001 helps shrink tumors more than the current standard treatment.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07231627Recruiting
Using AI to improve prostate cancer detection from MRI
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors decide when a prostate biopsy is needed. It is for men who have had a prostate MRI that shows either a low-risk (PIRADS 1-2) or uncertain (PIRADS 3) spot, along with a higher-than-normal PSA level. You may qualify if you have certain risk factors like a high PSA density, suspicious digital rectal exam, or family history of prostate cancer.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 40 years+ - NCT04683250RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes
This trial tests an “RET-inhibitor” medicine (TAS0953/HM06) for advanced solid tumors that have RET gene changes. It may help shrink tumors by blocking cancer growth signals from the RET gene.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06922539RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental drug ST-001 nanoFenretinide for small cell lung cancer
This phase 1 trial tests an experimental drug called ST-001 nanoFenretinide for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned or not responded to standard chemotherapy. The drug is a newer form of fenretinide, which is related to vitamin A, and may work differently to attack cancer cells.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452277RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sevabertinib for advanced HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug called sevabertinib against standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if sevabertinib works better and is safe.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04775355Recruiting
Track urine and gut changes during prostate cancer treatment
This study looks at how your urine and gut (intestine) microbes change while you undergo prostate cancer treatments, including hormone therapy (androgen deprivation) and/or radiation. The goal is to better understand these biological changes, which may help improve future treatment planning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06150417RecruitingPhase 2
Study of extra radiation for prostate cancer spread to few spots
This study tests whether adding a type of high-precision radiation (MDRT) to standard hormone therapy works better for men with prostate cancer that has spread to just a few places. It is for patients who are newly diagnosed and on long-term hormone therapy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07241039RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an oral drug for advanced squamous cell cancers
This study tests an oral drug called ABBV-711, alone or with another drug, for adults with advanced squamous cell cancers of the head, neck, or lung that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see how safe and effective the drug is.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07565285RecruitingPhase 2
Combination Treatment for Operable Stage III Skin Melanoma
This study tests whether combining a new drug called PRTX007-003 with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) can help prevent melanoma from returning after surgery. You would receive both treatments after your tumor is surgically removed.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02977780RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment plan for specific glioblastoma tumor markers
This Phase 2 trial tests an individualized treatment approach for glioblastoma or gliosarcoma based on your tumor’s lab tests. It may help by matching therapy to tumor features and by checking how well this strategy works after surgery and planned radiation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07585266RecruitingPhase 3
New drug velzatinib versus imatinib for untreated GIST
This trial compares a newer cancer drug (velzatinib) with a standard treatment (imatinib) for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that cannot be surgically removed or have spread. You would receive one of these two drugs to see which works better and is safer.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06816927RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy trial for glioblastoma with nivolumab and relatlimab
This trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and relatlimab, can help treat glioblastoma (GBM), a type of brain tumor. It is for people newly diagnosed or who haven't had radiation or chemotherapy yet and are scheduled for surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05977673RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab for untreated Hodgkin lymphoma when chemo isn’t suitable
This Phase 2 trial tests tislelizumab (an immune therapy) in people with newly diagnosed classical Hodgkin lymphoma who cannot safely get standard chemotherapy. It aims to see how well the treatment works and whether it is safe for older adults and others with health limits.
Alessandria, ITAges 65 years+ - NCT07109531RecruitingPhase 3

This trial tests a combination of two experimental drugs (ASKC202 and limertinib) against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a MET gene change and has stopped responding to earlier targeted therapy (EGFR-TKI). It aims to see if the new combination works better.
