PET-Scan Tailored De-escalation for p16+ throat cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that may lower (de-escalate) therapy intensity for certain p16+ or HPV-positive throat cancers. It uses PET scan results and tumor features to try to keep cancer control while reducing side effects.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05894239RecruitingPhase 3
Tested targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer with PIK3CA changes
This Phase 3 study tests inavolisib plus Phesgo versus placebo plus Phesgo in people whose breast cancer has both HER2-positive and PIK3CA-mutated tumor markers. The goal is to see if adding inavolisib improves how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05894018RecruitingPhase 2
Seed radiation plus fluzoparib for advanced soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether combining seed radiation (iodine-125 placed in/near the tumor) with fluzoparib can better control advanced, hard-to-remove soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink tumors and slow progression, but you must meet several cancer, health, and safety requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05894369Recruiting
Testing how the tumor environment affects pre-op chemo plus immunotherapy
This study looks at people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to see how changes in the “tumor neighborhood” may affect how well treatment works before surgery. If you’re eligible, you would receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy as neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05894824RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T-DXd with ramucirumab for HER2-low stomach and GEJ cancer
This trial studies T-DXd given with ramucirumab to treat stomach (gastric) or stomach–esophagus junction (GEJ) cancer that has spread or is locally advanced and is “HER2-low.” It’s mainly to test safety and early effectiveness in people whose cancer continued after first-line treatment.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05896228RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for relapsed multiple myeloma to target MRD
This Phase 2 trial tests iberdomide plus daratumumab, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone in people whose multiple myeloma has come back or not responded. The goal is to increase how often patients reach “MRD-negative” status, meaning very small amounts of cancer cells are not detectable, which may help improve outcomes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT05896865Recruiting
Personalized breast cancer radiation based on tumor biology
This trial studies whether adjusting radiation dose using how the tumor behaves can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced breast cancer that has spread to certain nearby lymph nodes. It may help deliver the right radiation intensity while avoiding unnecessary exposure.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05898594Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for high-risk Black adults
This study is designed to help Black adults at higher risk get lung cancer screening. It checks whether a screening approach can catch lung problems early and connect people to the right next steps.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50–80 - NCT05898477Recruiting
