This trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy—a treatment that uses your own immune cells engineered to fight leukemia cells. It is designed for patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or stopped responding to standard treatments, and whose leukemia cells have a specific marker called TSLPR.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07297667RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for certain advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called GCAR1, which uses your own immune cells (T-cells) to find and attack cancer cells that have a specific marker called GPNMB. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the tumor.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 15 years+ - NCT07525206RecruitingPhase 3

This trial tests new drug combinations for people with advanced squamous cell cancer of the esophagus that hasn't been treated yet. It aims to see if these combinations can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before. It looks at two groups: one with PD-L1 (a protein that helps decide if immunotherapy works), and one without. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07554521RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Advanced Stomach or Esophageal Cancer
This study tests a combination of two drugs—tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) and chemotherapy—to treat advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The trial focuses on recruiting patients from racial and ethnic minority communities to ensure the treatment is studied in diverse populations.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06623422RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine plus Keytruda for lung cancer after surgery
This trial tests combining a cancer vaccine (V940) with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with non-small cell lung cancer that was treated with chemo and Keytruda before surgery but wasn't completely removed. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07562152RecruitingPhase 3
Atebimetinib Plus Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel for New Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—atebimetinib (a new targeted therapy), gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel (two standard chemotherapy drugs)—as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas. The goal is to see if adding atebimetinib helps patients live longer and feel better.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07593482RecruitingPhase 2
Conditioning chemo before CAR-T for large B-cell lymphoma
This trial compares two standard chemotherapy combinations (bendamustine or fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide) given before a CAR-T cell treatment to see which one helps the CAR-T cells work better and causes fewer side effects.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT07650656RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery to Improve Sarcoma Tumor Removal
This trial tests a special dye and imaging technique to help surgeons see and remove sarcoma tumors more completely. The goal is to reduce the chance that cancer cells are accidentally left behind during surgery.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06666348RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mirdametinib plus vinblastine for untreated low-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (mirdametinib and vinblastine) for children and young adults with a type of slow-growing brain tumor called low-grade glioma that has certain genetic changes. It may be an option for people who have not received any previous treatment for their tumor.

3D MRE imaging study for vestibular schwannoma
This study uses a special MRI technique called 3D MRE to look at the physical properties of vestibular schwannoma tumors (non-cancerous growths on the hearing and balance nerve) before surgery. The goal is to see if these properties can predict the tumor's features, which might help doctors plan better.
