Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–26 - NCT05659381RecruitingPhase 3
Heated belly chemo plus niraparib after interval surgery for ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether heated chemotherapy placed inside the belly, followed by interval surgery and the maintenance medicine niraparib, can improve outcomes for certain advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. It focuses on people whose tumors are HRD/LOH positive and who can have all visible disease removed.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05659524Recruiting
Saline rinse after pituitary nose surgery study
This study checks whether rinsing your nose with saline (salt water) after pituitary surgery improves comfort and nasal breathing. It may help patients reduce post-surgery nasal irritation and support better nose outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 19–85 - NCT05660083RecruitingPhase 2
Study of alpelisib plus iNOS inhibitor with nab-paclitaxel
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of medicines can shrink and control HER2-negative metaplastic breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery (locally advanced) or has spread (metastatic). It may help people whose cancer has specific lab/pathology features, and it also checks safety and how well the treatment works in the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05659797RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan test for new ER-positive breast cancer
This early study tests a special PET scan (a type of imaging) to look at newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see how well the scan can detect and measure cancer, which may help guide care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05659628RecruitingPhase 1
CD19 CAR-T plus PD-1 antibody for relapsed lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CD19 CAR-T) combined with an anti–PD-1 drug for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It aims to improve cancer control when standard treatments have not worked or the cancer has come back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05659732RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced blood cancers
This early-phase study tests PEP07, a drug that blocks a cancer signal pathway (Checkpoint Kinase 1). It aims to see how well it works and how safely it can be given to people with certain advanced relapsed or refractory blood cancers.
Clayton, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05660369RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell treatment for EGFR-mutant glioblastoma
This Phase 1 trial tests a new immune treatment made from your own immune cells to attack glioblastoma (a brain tumor), especially tumors with a specific EGFR change called EGFRvIII. It mainly focuses on safety and early signs of effectiveness, and some participants will also need surgery/biopsy and an implanted port for the treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05660473RecruitingPhase 2
Study of venetoclax plus chemotherapy for Ph-negative ALL
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding venetoclax to a chemotherapy plan works better for Philadelphia chromosome–negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It may help people achieve deeper remission by targeting leukemia cells in a different way than chemotherapy alone.
TianjinAges 14–60 - NCT05661461RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug dosing and safety for advanced cancers with liver issues
This Phase 1 study tests different doses of nab-sirolimus to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. It is for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05661643RecruitingPhase 2
Temozolomide for GIST tumors with SDH deficiency
This trial tests how well temozolomide works and how safe it is for people with GIST (a type of stomach/intestine tumor) that is SDH-deficient and has no KIT or PDGFRα mutations. It may help by targeting tumor DNA repair weakness seen in this SDH-deficient subtype.
