Comparing two numbing medicines for mastectomy nerve blocks
This study compares two types of numbing medicine given through a nerve block before a mastectomy. One is a long-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine) and the other is a standard numbing medicine combined with a sedative (bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief after surgery.

Comparing two conditioning regimens for stem cell transplant
This trial tests two different chemotherapy and radiation plans (conditioning regimens) given before a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. Both are followed by the same drugs to prevent graft-versus-host disease. The goal is to find which regimen works better for people with blood cancers.

This study looks at whether your genes can help predict how radiation affects your body. It is for people with head, neck, or chest cancer who have not had any previous cancer treatment.
Essen, Germany / NRWAges 18 years+ - NCT06253650RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for HER2-positive stomach cancer with remaining cancer after surgery
This trial tests if trastuzumab deruxtecan, a targeted drug, can help people with HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer who still have cancer cells detected after surgery and chemotherapy. It aims to prevent the cancer from coming back.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06253494RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy trial for advanced endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pembrolizumab, lenvatinib, and an immune booster called N-803) plus a personalized vaccine made from your own cells, all aimed at helping your immune system fight advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer that has HER2 protein on its surface.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06253611RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic plus immunotherapy and chemo for stomach cancer
This trial tests a new combination for advanced stomach cancer: an experimental probiotic (EXL01) plus standard immunotherapy (nivolumab) and chemotherapy (FOLFOX). It is for people whose tumors have a high PD-L1 marker and who have not received prior treatment for advanced disease.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug called IAM1363 for people with HER2-altered cancers that have stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works against these cancers.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06254326RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for recurrent oligodendroglioma
This trial tests a personalized immune cell therapy for adults with a specific type of brain tumor (oligodendroglioma) that has come back. The treatment uses your own immune cells to target the tumor.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–89 - NCT06254521RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab plus chemo before surgery for MSS rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy before surgery for people with a specific type of rectal cancer that has not spread to other organs. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor more effectively than standard treatment.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06255223RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted radiation therapy with a restart of immunotherapy for people whose kidney cancer has grown after prior immunotherapy. It aims to see if radiation can help the immune system fight the cancer again.
