Study drug for EGFR or HER2-mutated advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests a new investigational medicine (BAY2927088) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has EGFR and/or HER2 mutations. It’s designed to see how the drug works and what side effects it causes, when standard options have not helped or aren’t suitable.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06584448Recruiting
Drinking, acetate, and stress study
This study looks at how acetate (a substance produced when the body breaks down alcohol) affects stress and drinking. It tests if giving acetate can help people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) reduce their drinking.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–60 - NCT06526819RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug SMP-3124LP for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SMP-3124LP for people with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments. It is given in two phases: first to find the best dose (dose escalation) and then to see how well it works in specific cancer types (dose expansion).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07300995Recruiting
Pain coping skills for older women with breast cancer
This study tests a behavioral program to help older women with breast cancer learn skills to cope with pain. The program is done through video or phone sessions.

This trial tests a combination of two new drugs, SKB264 and SKB118, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It may be an option if your cancer does not have the EGFR or ALK gene changes and you are in relatively good health.
Jilin CityAges 18–75 - NCT05573893Recruiting
Real-world study of trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2 breast cancer
This study looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and their real-world health data while they receive trastuzumab deruxtecan for advanced HER2-positive, HER2-low, or HER2-ultralow breast cancer. It helps researchers understand what outcomes happen outside of tightly controlled clinical trials.
AmbergAges 18–130 - NCT07194980RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a pill and CAR T-cell therapy for CLL/SLL
This study tests a combination of two treatments: a targeted pill (nemtabrutinib) and a special immune cell therapy (lisocabtagene maraleucel, or liso-cel) for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or has not responded to previous treatment. The goal is to see if giving the pill first helps the cell therapy work better.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05417594RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drug study for advanced cancers with genetic changes
This Phase 1/2 study tests AZD9574 alone or with other cancer treatments in people with advanced solid tumors. It focuses on cancers with specific DNA repair gene changes (like BRCA1/2) or other matching tumor features, and aims to see if the treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT02688894Recruiting
Molecular testing for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This study uses tumor tissue to look for molecular (biologic) changes after your small cell lung cancer comes back. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate next treatment based on what the cancer’s biology shows.
IncheonAges 20 years+ - NCT07324629RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab Tirumotecan for advanced thymus cancer
This trial tests a new drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan, in people with advanced thymic carcinoma that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. It is for those whose cancer has gotten worse after at least one round of platinum-based chemotherapy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05489887RecruitingPhase 2
Naxitamab with frontline chemotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a drug called naxitamab to standard early (frontline) treatment improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by helping the immune system better target the cancer during initial induction therapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–21 - NCT06263231RecruitingPhase 3
Study of INT230-6 injection for soft tissue sarcoma
This study tests an experimental drug, INT230-6, injected directly into tumors, compared to the usual treatments for soft tissue sarcoma. It aims to see if the injection is safe and works better for people whose cancer has not responded to earlier treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06661915RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms
This study tests whether adding a new drug called iadademstat to the standard treatment ASTX727 helps people with advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms (blood cancers that cause the bone marrow to make too many cells). The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better than the standard treatment alone.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06989112RecruitingPhase 3
First-line treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs for endometrial cancer that has spread or come back. It aims to see if these drugs can shrink tumors and help people live longer. It is for tumors that have a certain protein (HER2) and are mismatch repair proficient (meaning they have a normal DNA repair system).
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915038Recruiting
Measuring tumor DNA in blood for HPV-positive throat cancer
This study looks at a blood test that finds DNA from HPV-related throat tumors. It may help doctors decide on surgery and check if the cancer is completely removed.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05916313RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for brain tumors that have stopped responding to treatment
This trial tests a new drug called BI 764532 for people with a type of brain tumor called glioma that has not gotten better with standard treatments. The drug targets a protein on the tumor cells, which might help stop the tumor from growing.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06807632RecruitingPhase 1
Study of two drugs for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (valemetostat and atezolizumab) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have already responded to initial chemo-immunotherapy. The goal is to see if adding valemetostat can keep the cancer from growing longer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06651177RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide with buprenorphine for opioid use disorder
This study tests whether adding tirzepatide, a medication used for weight and blood sugar, to buprenorphine treatment helps people with opioid use disorder. It aims to see if the combination improves outcomes compared to buprenorphine alone.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06656598RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant treatment for elderly or unfit patients with stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called cemiplimab to chemotherapy, followed by radiation, can help older or less fit patients with stage III lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes compared to usual care.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06236139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

New drug plus standard chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial combines a new experimental drug (emavusertib) with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX plus bevacizumab) for people with stage IV colorectal cancer who have not yet received chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective, potentially offering a new first-line treatment option.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05592626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell activator STAR0602 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called STAR0602 that aims to boost your immune system's T cells to fight advanced solid tumors. It's for patients whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments or for whom such treatments are not suitable.
