SingaporeAges 18–99 - NCT05035836RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug after early HER2-positive breast cancer surgery
This trial tests zanidatamab, a type of targeted antibody treatment, in people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer to see how well it works and how safe it is. Because it’s a single-arm pilot study, everyone in the study gets the drug, and you’ll likely be asked to undergo standard surgery if appropriate.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05037331Recruiting
Osimertinib for advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial studies osimertinib in people with advanced or metastatic lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It aims to see how well this targeted medicine can control the cancer when surgery or radiotherapy won’t work.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05037279RecruitingPhase 3
Testing BCG treatment for bladder cancer after full tumor removal
This trial studies a BCG-based bladder instillation in people with newly diagnosed, intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have had their tumor fully removed. The goal is to see whether this treatment is safer and works better to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05037825Recruiting
Study gut microbes with immune therapy in several solid cancers
This trial looks at how the gut microbiome (the bacteria in your digestive system) relates to outcomes when you take standard immune “checkpoint” cancer medicines. If you’re eligible, they’ll collect stool samples while you receive treatment for certain cancers.
Elizabethtown, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05038696RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell treatment for hard-to-control B-ALL
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized “CAR T” cell treatment for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It may help the immune system find and kill leukemia cells, especially when leukemia has not responded to standard treatment.
SingaporeAges 6 months–80 years - NCT05038332RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two types of radiation after prostate surgery
This Phase 2 study compares two schedules of radiation treatment after prostate surgery in men whose PSA starts rising again. It aims to see which radiation approach works well while tracking quality of life and safety.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05038358Recruiting
Study of immune and chemo resistance in colorectal tumors
This study looks at how the immune system around a colorectal tumor relates to resistance to chemotherapy. You may be able to join if you are having surgery soon for colorectal cancer and have not yet had chemotherapy before surgery.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05039801RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug IACS-6274 tested for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests the experimental drug IACS-6274, sometimes with bevacizumab and paclitaxel, in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to find the safest dose and to learn whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer for certain tumor mutation types.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05039632RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation with anti-PD-1 for advanced lung or liver cancers
This study tests whether adding NBTXR3 (given into a tumor) and targeted radiation to anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy can improve cancer control in advanced cancers that have spread to the lung and/or liver. Participants may be assigned to different radiation approaches to try to trigger tumor shrinkage in both treated and nearby or distant tumor areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05040555Recruiting
Testing a new chemo plan for newly diagnosed high-burden lymphoma
This trial studies a specific treatment plan to see how well it works for adults with newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has a high amount of disease. It may help by aiming to control lymphoma more effectively, especially when it is widespread.
