This Phase 1/2 study tests the safety and early signs of benefit from CJRB-101 when combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced or metastatic lung, head and neck, or melanoma cancer. It may help some participants, but the main goal is to see how safe the combination is and whether it can control cancer.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877573Recruiting
Toripalimab with chemo-radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy drug) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery can improve outcomes for people with higher-risk, locally advanced rectal cancer. It is meant for cancers that are mismatch-repair “MSS/pMMR,” and it checks safety plus effectiveness as a first treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05877859Recruiting
Testing pembrolizumab with chemo before breast cancer surgery
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery improves immune and clinical responses in people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. You may benefit by getting a potentially more effective treatment plan, while the study team closely monitors your response.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877872RecruitingPhase 3
Smaller surgery after chemotherapy for recurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether doing a smaller surgery (after chemotherapy works well) can control recurring nasopharyngeal cancer while reducing treatment burden. It is for people whose cancer can be removed by surgery and who respond to an initial course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (or another targeted regimen).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05879913Recruiting
Heart risk check using CT scan in men on prostate cancer therapy
This study looks at how a special CT heart scan (CCTA) can help manage heart disease risk in men with prostate cancer who are taking hormone therapy (ADT). It may help your care team better assess heart risk, especially if you also have other heart risk factors but no current heart symptoms.
Carmel, IndianaAges 40 years+ - NCT05879250RecruitingPhase 2
WP1066 plus radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether the study drug WP1066 combined with radiation can better control newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. It also aims to check safety and how well tumors respond by using brain scans.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05878964Recruiting
Study of skin health and quality of life during cancer treatment
This trial looks at how cancer treatments (anti–PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 medicines or CDK inhibitors) affect your skin and overall quality of life. You may fill out questionnaires during the study to help researchers understand changes over time.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05878977Recruiting
Testing biomarkers in immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This trial looks at tissue and scan-related markers (“biomarkers”) to better understand how immunotherapy works in people with advanced melanoma. You may receive standard first-line immunotherapy, and your recent scans and health details will help researchers study why some people respond better than others.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879146RecruitingPhase 2
Nirogacestat for desmoid tumors with tumor growth monitoring
This Phase 2 study tests nirogacestat (a targeted medicine) in people with desmoid tumors that are growing. It also studies how tumors respond—or don’t respond—by using repeated tumor scans and sometimes repeated tumor biopsies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05879367RecruitingPhase 1
Eflornithine plus temozolomide for newly diagnosed brain cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding eflornithine to temozolomide (chemotherapy) is safe and potentially helpful for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or certain astrocytomas after radiation. It aims to find a workable treatment approach by closely monitoring side effects and early tumor responses.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879653RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab, drug EV, and radiation for bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how well pembrolizumab and an antibody-drug medicine (EV) given with bladder radiation work for non-metastatic bladder cancer that is mostly urothelial. It may help some people control the cancer without it spreading to other organs.
Kobe, HyōgoAges 18 years+ - NCT05879783Recruiting
Optical biopsy during surgery for colorectal belly tumors
This trial looks at using a special light-based method (optical biopsy) to examine small growths on the lining of the abdomen during colorectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors better assess these peritoneal nodules while you are already having an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT05880043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IV NK cell treatment for advanced cancers that returned
This Phase 1/2 study tests an intravenous (IV) immune-cell therapy made from donors (allogeneic NK cells) to treat advanced solid tumors, relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. It may help by targeting cancer cells more directly, but early-phase trials mainly focus on safety and finding the right dosing.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05880667RecruitingPhase 1
Adaptive focused radiation for belly and pelvic cancer spread
This Phase 1 study tests an “adaptive” form of focused radiation (SBRT) for cancers that have spread in the abdomen or pelvis. It aims to treat metastatic tumor spots safely while adjusting the plan as needed during treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05880992Recruiting
Pre-surgery preparation program for colorectal cancer patients
This trial tests a “trimodal” (multi-part) pre-surgery preparation program for people having major surgery for colorectal cancer. The goal is to help patients get better prepared before surgery and possibly improve outcomes.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05882175Recruiting
Checking how well an index predicts blood cancer care
