Testing three CDK4/6 pills to change the immune response
This phase 2 trial compares ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib to see how each one affects your body’s immune response in estrogen- and/or progesterone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer. If you fit the stage and health requirements, joining could help doctors learn which treatment best “modulates” the immune system.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05766748RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azeliragon trial for pancreatic cancer after prior treatments failed
This trial tests azeliragon in people whose pancreatic cancer has spread or grown locally and who did not respond well to earlier chemotherapy. It aims to see whether the drug can help control the cancer and be tolerated after prior treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05766800RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 plus chemotherapy before surgery for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether giving a PD-1 antibody together with standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with stage IIIB–IIIC non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make treatment before surgery more effective.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05766891RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nurse-led hypnosis to reduce opioid pain meds for breast surgery
This trial tests whether nurse-delivered hypnosis during breast cancer surgery can help you need less opioid pain medicine after surgery. It may make recovery more comfortable while aiming to lower opioid use.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05767307Recruiting
MRI for suspected prostate cancer in Denmark
This study is enrolling adults who have prostate cancer concerns and are being sent for an MRI scan. It aims to improve evaluation of suspected prostate cancer, which may help doctors decide next steps more accurately.
Aarhus N, AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT05768087Recruiting
Testing higher-dose proton radiation for new glioblastoma
