Tazemetostat and palbociclib for relapsed or resistant AML
This early-phase study tests whether tazemetostat and palbociclib can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It looks for safety and early signs of how well the treatment works.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05627180Recruiting
Health literacy follow-up for people in cancer treatment
This study checks a tailored follow-up approach that helps people with cancer understand their health information and next steps. It’s mainly for adults who are currently receiving cancer care at the hospital running the program.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05627219Recruiting
Training men to share prostate cancer genetics info
This study tests a program that trains men (especially African American men) to help others understand prostate cancer genetic counseling and testing. It may improve access to this information by using peer support and patient navigation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05628038RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy for recurrent rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving targeted radiation and an immunotherapy drug together can control locally recurring rectal cancer in the pelvis. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth, especially after certain prior treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05627960RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an antibody drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests AG01, an antibody that targets a cancer protein called GP88, in people with advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find safe doses and learn whether it can help certain cancers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05628870RecruitingPhase 1
Testing HRS-1358 for breast cancer that has spread
This early-phase study tests HRS-1358 tablets in people with breast cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. It may help learn whether the drug can control cancer, while also checking safety and how the body handles it.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05628922RecruitingPhase 2
Blood EBV DNA–guided therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a treatment approach for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer using their blood EBV DNA level (a cancer-related virus marker). It may help doctors choose and adjust therapy based on how much of this marker is in your blood after standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05629546RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab and relatlimab with lab-made memory NK cells
This Phase 1 study tests a new form of immune cells (NK cells) along with nivolumab and relatlimab for advanced melanoma that has worsened after prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatments. It may help your body recognize and attack melanoma cells more strongly.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05629494RecruitingPhase 4
Ibuprofen vs PSA blood test for prostate evaluation
This trial studies whether an anti-inflammatory medicine (ibuprofen) changes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test results to help decide on next diagnostic steps like MRI or biopsy. It may help people with an elevated PSA understand whether follow-up testing is more or less likely to be needed.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05629689RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan drug check for people with solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests whether an investigational PET scan tracer is safe and tolerable when used for PET imaging in people with certain solid cancers. It mainly looks at side effects and how well the scan can be done, not whether it treats cancer.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05629845Recruiting
Prevent repeat stomach bleeding using an ultrasound-guided scope
This study compares two ways to stop variceal bleeding (bleeding from swollen veins in the esophagus or stomach) from coming back in people with liver cancer. It tests whether an ultrasound-guided technique during endoscopy can reduce repeat bleeding compared with standard endoscopy methods.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT05629702RecruitingPhase 2
Temozolomide with or without cannabinoids for recurrent brain tumor
This trial tests whether adding cannabinoid medicine to temozolomide helps people whose glioblastoma (GBM) has returned. It compares temozolomide plus cannabinoids versus temozolomide alone, using blinded treatment so neither you nor the team knows which option you get.
Bodelwyddan, DenbighshireAges 16 years+ - NCT05631249RecruitingPhase 2
Sotorasib for KRAS G12C lung cancer after prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial studies sotorasib, a targeted medicine, in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS mutation called G12C. You may be eligible if your cancer has spread or can’t be removed by surgery and has grown again after at least one previous treatment.

Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05631886RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a cancer vaccine plus immune therapy for hard tumors

PET/MRI scan study for newly diagnosed brain cancer changes
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 10–89 - NCT05632809RecruitingPhase 2
Boosting immune cells after lung cancer chemoradiation
This trial studies whether a medicine called NKTR-255 can help restore and strengthen immune cells after standard chemoradiation for non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve how well the body can fight the cancer after initial treatment.
