Palbociclib and sunitinib for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a combination of two oral drugs—palbociclib and sunitinib—for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if these drugs together can help shrink or slow the growth of the cancer.

Study of an oral EGFR inhibitor for non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests PLB1004, an oral medication that targets a specific gene mutation (EGFR) in non-small cell lung cancer. It may be an option if you have this mutation and are looking for a new treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06476119Recruiting
Optimizing treatment for low stage triple-negative breast cancer with high immune cells
This trial tests whether people with early stage triple-negative breast cancer and a high level of immune cells in the tumor can safely skip chemotherapy after surgery. It aims to find a less intensive treatment option for those who may not need strong drugs.
Sittard-Geleen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06555003RecruitingPhase 3
DEBIRI plus chemo vs. chemo alone for liver metastases
This trial tests if a treatment called DEBIRI (tiny beads delivering chemo directly to the liver) plus standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be fully removed by surgery.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06874426Recruiting
How nose surgery on the skull base affects smell
This study looks at how having skull base surgery through the nose affects your sense of smell. It helps doctors learn more about changes in smell after this procedure.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–70 - NCT06125483Recruiting
Cord blood transplant for cancer relapse after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a second transplant using cord blood after a first stem cell transplant failed to keep the cancer away. It's for people with blood cancers like leukemia that have come back.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 10–65 - NCT06418659RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD-801 for advanced liver cancer
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called CD-801 given through an IV for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be surgically removed and has not responded to or is not suitable for standard treatments. The goal is to see if CD-801 is safe and helps shrink tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05978492RecruitingPhase 1
Study of TXN10128 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug, TXN10128, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It may be an option if standard treatments haven't worked or aren't suitable.
