Comparing two drug combinations for untreated CLL
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib) against another standard combination (venetoclax plus acalabrutinib) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT07246863RecruitingPhase 2
Testing visugromab and nivolumab with or without docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (visugromab, nivolumab, and possibly docetaxel) for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that worsened after one prior treatment with an immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination helps control the cancer better.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06748911Recruiting
Navicam capsule test for Barrett's esophagus detection
This trial tests a special capsule (Navicam) to see if it can find Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can raise your risk of esophageal cancer. If you have had an endoscopy in the last year or have chronic heartburn with other risk factors, you may be able to join.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT06295367Recruiting
Cost Communication and Financial Help for Newly Diagnosed Cancer Patients
This study looks at whether talking openly about treatment costs and providing guidance to find financial help can make a difference for people with newly diagnosed solid tumors. If you join, you will be asked to fill out surveys about your experience.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges Any age - NCT03193970Recruiting
Study recovery after bladder removal surgery
This trial looks at how patients recover after radical cystectomy, a surgery that removes the bladder for bladder cancer. It will study recovery patterns to help understand what recovery may look like and possibly improve care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07427186Recruiting
Studying how immunotherapy affects the immune system in early-stage cancer
This trial looks at how your immune system responds to immunotherapy given before surgery for early-stage solid tumors (like lung, head and neck, melanoma, or bladder cancer). The goal is to understand why some people respond better, so doctors can improve treatment for future patients.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06298734Recruiting
Exercise and diet study for melanoma patients on immunotherapy
This study tests whether adding high-intensity exercise and a high-fiber diet can improve how well immunotherapy works for people with melanoma. It might help you if you are already on immunotherapy and are not currently very active or eating a lot of fiber.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05876065Recruiting
Maintenance chemotherapy to help control advanced breast cancer
This trial studies whether taking a combination of capecitabine and cyclophosphamide after your best prior treatment can help keep advanced breast cancer from growing. It may help people whose disease has already responded or is stable after “salvage” treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07492641RecruitingPhase 3
A new drug plus letrozole for advanced HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new medicine (BGB-43395) combined with letrozole against the usual CDK4/6 inhibitor plus letrozole. It is for people with advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have not yet had treatment for advanced disease.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06246916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new immunotherapy combo for advanced melanoma
This trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (anti-LAG-3 and anti-PD-1 antibodies) to see if they work better than standard treatment for people with advanced melanoma that hasn't been treated before. It may be an option if you have not yet received any systemic therapy for your melanoma.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05356741RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug VIR-5818 with and without pembrolizumab
This early trial tests whether VIR-5818 given through a vein is safe and whether it works better when combined with pembrolizumab. It’s for adults with HER2-positive cancers that are locally advanced or spread, and the study checks safety, side effects, and early signs of effect.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226154Recruiting
Predicting chemo response in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at blood samples to see if we can predict how well pancreatic cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06569147RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Elranatamab for AL amyloidosis that has returned or not responded
This trial tests a drug called elranatamab for people with AL amyloidosis whose disease has come back or is not responding to treatment. The goal is to see if it can help control the disease.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06859801Recruiting
Bone pain study combining ablation and radiation
This study looks at combining two treatments for painful bone tumors that have spread from other cancers. It tests if using both treatments together provides better pain relief than either alone.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07646574Enrolling by invitation
Non-surgical treatment after immunotherapy for specific gastric cancer
This trial tests whether patients with advanced gastric cancer (a specific type called dMMR/MSI-H) can be treated without surgery after receiving immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can control the cancer while avoiding the risks of surgery.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06549595RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug combo for untreated follicular lymphoma
This study tests a new combination of two drugs (surovatamig and rituximab) for people with follicular lymphoma who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic (RNA) testing of kidney cancer tissue to help choose the best drug treatment. It may help guide therapy for people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who are starting treatment for the first time.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04566328RecruitingPhase 3
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma test of combination therapy
This Phase 3 trial tests a combination treatment approach for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, focusing on response and deeper remission. It may help by improving how well the disease is controlled early and measuring results beyond standard tests.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04893109RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two HER2 breast cancer treatments after surgery

Study comparing obrixtamig plus chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer
This trial tests a new drug called obrixtamig combined with standard chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer (a rare type of cancer). You'd receive one cycle of standard chemotherapy first, then be randomly assigned to either continue with the new drug plus chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy alone.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06894810Recruiting
