Safety of curcumin for anal precancer
This study tests whether a curcumin (turmeric) suppository can safely treat anal precancerous changes called AIN 2 or AIN 3. It may be an option if you have high-grade cell changes and want to avoid more invasive treatments.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 30 years+ - NCT06764316RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of BAY 3547926 for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BAY 3547926 for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or has not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06578624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
SA53-OS for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug (SA53-OS) for people with advanced solid tumors or certain lymphomas whose tumors have a normal p53 gene. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps shrink or slow the cancer.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07727759Recruiting
CT scan to predict liver failure after surgery
This trial uses special CT scans to create a map of your liver's blood vessels before surgery. The goal is to predict if your liver might fail after part of it is removed, so doctors can better plan your care.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05948943RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Alpelisib for lymphatic malformations with a PIK3CA change
This trial tests alpelisib (a targeted medicine) for people who have lymphatic malformations (LyM) that cause symptoms and have a PIK3CA mutation. It may help shrink or control these lesions when other procedures are delayed until after the first 24 weeks.
