Vaccine plus immunotherapy for unresectable liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding a cancer vaccine (to help the immune system recognize your tumor) to two medicines—atezolizumab and bevacizumab—can better control unresectable or advanced liver cancer. It’s for people who haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) cancer treatment.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05528939Recruiting
Training attention skills for children after cancer
This trial tests a computer-based “attention-control training” program to see if it’s doable and helpful for children who finished treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or a brain tumor. It also looks at how acceptable the program is for both kids and caregivers.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 8–16 - NCT05529069RecruitingPhase 2
Testing pirtobrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how well the combination of pirtobrutinib and venetoclax works for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It’s meant to help shrink the lymphoma and improve outcomes after prior therapies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05529615Recruiting
Blood DNA test guides chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery
This trial checks a blood test called circulating tumor DNA to help choose the best time and approach for chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery. It aims to reduce recurrence by identifying people who may benefit from treatment based on changes seen in the blood.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05530096Recruiting
Genetic test to find minimal residual myeloma in remission
This study tests a genetic technology (ClonoSeq-based) to detect very small amounts of multiple myeloma that may remain after treatment. It may help doctors better track how well treatment is working and predict how the disease responds over time.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05530655RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Finding the best lisinopril dose to prevent urine side effects
This early study tests which dose of lisinopril works best to help prevent urinary toxicity (urine/burning/urinary side effects) after radiation treatment for prostate cancer. If it’s effective for you, it could make radiation easier to tolerate.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT05530421RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor and Venetoclax with Dexamethasone for Myeloma
This trial studies a combination of selinexor, venetoclax, and dexamethasone to treat multiple myeloma that has returned or is resistant to prior treatments. It may help shrink the myeloma and improve disease control in people with a specific myeloma genetic marker (t(11;14)).
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05530759Recruiting
Testing blood and tumor samples for diagnostic cancer markers
This study looks at blood and tumor tissue to find signs (markers) that can help diagnose or better understand metastatic cancer. You may be able to join if you’re getting surgery or a biopsy to remove a tumor and there’s a safe way to collect samples.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05532059RecruitingPhase 2
Test lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and chemotherapy for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of lenvatinib, an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), and chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) for advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes, especially for people who have not yet had immunotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT05532397Recruiting
Tested lab-chosen drug combo for recurrent brain tumor
This study uses a patient’s tumor tissue to test drug combinations in the lab, aiming to help choose a better second-line treatment for recurrent high-grade astrocytic glioma. If your tumor tissue can be tested, the results may guide a more personalized medication plan.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05532696RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ABT-101 for advanced solid tumors and HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests ABT-101, a new experimental treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors. A second part specifically looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has HER2 mutations, to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT05534646RecruitingPhase 2
Apalutamide plus a cancer antibody for spreading prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests apalutamide combined with a targeted antibody (carotuximab) for prostate cancer that is still growing despite hormone treatment. It may help slow tumor growth by blocking cancer signals in different ways.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05534438RecruitingPhase 2
Tested targeted radiation plus usual drug treatment in metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a very focused type of radiation to standard drug treatment can better control metastatic breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer is only progressing in one spot, seen on a PET scan.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05534672RecruitingPhase 3
Rapamycin for drug-resistant seizures in tuberous sclerosis

UCD19 CAR T for adult ALL with MRD in remission
This early-phase study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) for adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who still have tiny amounts of cancer detectable by a special test called MRD. It aims to improve outcomes for people who are in first remission but not completely “cancer-free” by MRD testing.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05536089Recruiting
Testing blood methylation to predict colorectal cancer relapse
This trial checks a blood test for “ctDNA methylation” to see who may be at higher risk of colorectal cancer returning after surgery. It may help doctors better judge whether adjuvant chemotherapy is working or needed.
