Testing a new treatment plan for HPV throat cancer before surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether 5-azacytidine and nivolumab (alone and/or together) can work well and be tolerated in people with HPV-related throat cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to help shrink or control the cancer before resection and learn more from added tumor samples.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05317221Recruiting

Venetoclax plus chemo to change cancer cell behavior
This Phase 1 trial tests whether venetoclax, combined with chemotherapy and a “cancer cell behavior” medicine strategy, can improve treatment for people with AML that has come back or not gone into remission. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of benefit.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 1–25 - NCT05318196Recruiting
Predict kidney disease risk and progression from patient data
This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05317494Recruiting
Test of venetoclax for AML when intensive chemo isn’t possible
This study looks at how a person’s leukemia “disease state” changes over time for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who cannot receive the strongest (“intensive”) chemotherapy. It tests using oral venetoclax as a first treatment option, which may help control the disease for people ineligible for intensive chemo.
Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05317819RecruitingPhase 3
Test ADI-PEG 20 versus placebo for advanced liver cancer
This study tests whether ADI-PEG 20 helps people with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) who have high arginine levels. Participants get ADI-PEG 20 or a placebo to see which works better and improves outcomes.
ChanghuaAges 18–99 - NCT05318469RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ivermectin with immunotherapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies whether ivermectin, given together with immunotherapy (balstilimab or pembrolizumab), can help treat metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It mainly looks at safety first, and may also explore how well the treatment works for people whose cancer has spread.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05319314RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced colon cancer that has come back or failed
This Phase 1/2 trial tests LYL273, a new targeted treatment, for people with metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer that has returned or not responded to standard chemo. It’s designed to see how well the drug can control the cancer and what side effects it causes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05319483Recruiting
Study of new head and neck cancer patients
This study enrolls adults with a first-time head and neck cancer diagnosis and collects health and treatment information to better understand the disease. It may help clinicians improve care by learning which treatments and patient features matter most.
Pécs, BaranyaAges Any age - NCT05319639RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Irinotecan plus immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase I/II trial tests how well irinotecan combined with tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) treats advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. It mainly looks at safety and the best way to use this combination, and may help shrink tumors or slow disease growth.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05320588RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early test of a cancer treatment for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a new treatment in people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) solid tumors that have worsened or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It may help shrink tumors or slow growth, and it also helps doctors learn the safest way to use the medicine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05321134Recruiting
Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05321316Recruiting
PET scan test for bladder cancer using a targeted tracer
This trial studies a special PET/CT scan tracer that is designed to bind to a protein (Nectin-4) found in some bladder cancers. It aims to help doctors see and stage tumors more clearly, which could improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05321992Recruiting
Village health program to help prevent bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether a community-based behavior change program can lower the risk of cholangiocarcinoma, a bile duct cancer. If you live in one of the selected villages, you may be invited to participate and learn health-focused behavior changes.

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05326334Recruiting
Study gut microbiome in new glioblastoma patients
This trial studies how changes in gut bacteria (gut microbiome) relate to outcomes in people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma receiving standard chemo-radiation. It may help doctors learn which gut-bacteria patterns go along with better or worse results during treatment.
