New drug combo vs standard care for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (atigotatug and nivolumab) against the standard drug durvalumab for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who have completed chemotherapy and radiation without the cancer getting worse. The goal is to see if the new combination works better at keeping the cancer from coming back.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05850234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for hard-to-treat multiple myeloma after prior treatments
This Phase 1/2 study tests AZD0120 in people with multiple myeloma that has come back or is not responding to treatment. It may help by targeting the myeloma cells after you’ve already tried several standard therapies.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05461768RecruitingPhase 1
BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests BL-M07D1, a new investigational medicine, in people with HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer (and other solid tumors) that can’t be operated on or has spread. It aims to find a safe dose and learn how well the treatment may work based on HER2 levels in tumor tissue.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05225363RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum
This Phase 1 study tests a one-time treatment made from your immune cells (CAR T) to attack a protein found on some ovarian cancer cells. It is for people whose ovarian cancer has come back or worsened after platinum chemotherapy, aiming to see safety and early signs of benefit.
