Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06176027RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for returning AITL lymphoma
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (azacytidine plus CAOLD) for people with a specific type of T-cell lymphoma called AITL that has come back or not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see if this treatment can work better than current options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06176885RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo and targeted therapy for MSS colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and targeted therapy for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that is MSS (microsatellite stable) and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06177041RecruitingPhase 3
M108 plus chemo for CLDN18.2-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug (M108) combined with standard chemotherapy (CAPOX) as a first treatment for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a specific protein called Claudin 18.2. The goal is to see if adding M108 helps improve outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06176690RecruitingPhase 1
Donor cell therapy for CD30-positive lymphomas
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy for CD30-positive lymphomas. The cells are made from donated blood and are designed to find and attack your cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 12–75 - NCT06176729RecruitingPhase 2
Pola-R2 for older, less fit adults with new DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pola, Rituxan, and lenalidomide) for older adults (70+) with a common type of lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not well enough for standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this gentler treatment works well for patients who are less fit.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 70 years+ - NCT06176989RecruitingPhase 2
Enasidenib for IDH2-mutated sinonasal and skull base tumors
This trial tests an oral targeted therapy called enasidenib for people with rare head and neck cancers that have an IDH2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06177015RecruitingPhase 3
Darolutamide with chemo for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way of using darolutamide (a hormone therapy) together with standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) and hormone therapy (ADT) for men with prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if taking darolutamide on an intermittent schedule works as well as continuous treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–80 - NCT06177067RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 3 drugs for young AML patients with genetic changes
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax) for children and young adults with a hard-to-treat type of leukemia that has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this new mix can help when standard treatments have not worked.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06177093Recruiting
Higher dose prostate radiation with MRI guidance
This study tests a higher dose of radiation for prostate cancer using an MRI-guided machine (MR-Linac). It aims to see if a more targeted dose can be safely given to the tumor while protecting healthy tissue.
