Living well with advanced breast cancer study
This study looks at a program called Living Well With Advanced Breast Cancer, which offers support to people with metastatic breast cancer and their caregivers. It aims to see how helpful the program is for different groups of people, including those who haven't tried it yet, those who cancelled, and those who finished it.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07225127Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment: therapy vs. surgery
This study compares two standard treatments for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back after initial treatment: medication placed directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy) or bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). The goal is to see which option works better for patients like you.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07223541RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and targeted radiation for advanced kidney cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab), either alone or combined with another drug (fianlimab), after targeted radiation (SBRT) to kill cancer cells. It is for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer who have few spots of spread and have not had many prior treatments.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07229768RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of 177Lu-CTR-FAPI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a radioactive drug called 177Lu-CTR-FAPI for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It targets tumors that show a specific protein (FAP) on PET scans. The study focuses on certain cancers like pancreatic, breast, and soft tissue sarcoma.
