Study of telisotuzumab adizutecan plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who haven't received prior therapy for advanced disease and don't have specific gene changes. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (telisotuzumab adizutecan) plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) to see if it helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05014399Recruiting

Study of Mevrometostat for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new drug called mevrometostat for men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is still growing despite hormone therapy. It aims to see if the drug can help control the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06459024Recruiting
Master study for relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia
This trial is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (relapsed) or is not responding to treatment (refractory). It tests different new treatments to find which ones work best.
AachenAges 6 years+ - NCT05748171RecruitingPhase 2
Testing inotuzumab for children with early ALL relapse
This Phase 2 study tests inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), a cancer medicine, in children aged 1 to under 18 with a first relapse of ALL. It aims to find out how well and safely the medicine works when the leukemia comes back early.
ViennaAges 1–17 - NCT07629258RecruitingPhase 1
Testing GW01-200 tablets in advanced cancer patients
This is an early-stage trial testing a new drug called GW01-200 in people with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers that have gotten worse despite standard treatment. The study aims to find the right dose and see how well the drug works and is tolerated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05650749Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
GPC2 car T cells for neuroblastoma and retinoblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment using engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) that target a protein called GPC2 found on some cancer cells. It is for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma or metastatic retinoblastoma that has returned or not responded to other treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 year+ - NCT06822543RecruitingPhase 2
A new treatment for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in the brain and elsewhere.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT07604766RecruitingPhase 3
Rina-S for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in China
This study tests a new cancer drug called Rina-S (an antibody-drug conjugate, which is a targeted therapy that delivers medicine directly to cancer cells) compared to standard treatment options for ovarian cancer that has returned or worsened after platinum chemotherapy. The trial is specifically for patients in China whose cancer is resistant to platinum drugs.
ChangchunAges 18 years+ - NCT07555938RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination for previously treated multiple myeloma
This trial tests whether a new drug called cevostamab, combined with two existing myeloma drugs (pomalidomide and dexamethasone), works better than standard treatment for people whose myeloma has returned or stopped responding to prior therapy.
