Immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) with three chemotherapy drugs for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has already been treated with gemcitabine. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps control the cancer better.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06439225RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo for prostate cancer with DNA repair changes
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and docetaxel) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and has specific changes in DNA repair genes. It aims to see if this treatment can help when other hormone therapies have stopped working.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06439173Recruiting
Study on bone marrow recovery after CAR-T therapy
This study is looking at why some people develop low blood cell counts after CAR-T therapy for a type of lymphoma. It aims to find ways to help the bone marrow recover and work better.
SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT06439693RecruitingPhase 2
Sequential therapy for newly diagnosed HER2+ breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a sequence of targeted therapies for people newly diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to find a treatment plan that can potentially cure the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06439771RecruitingPhase 2
Testing YL202 for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called YL202 for people with advanced breast cancer. It is for those who have already tried certain targeted treatments (HER2 or TROP2 antibody-drug conjugates) and they stopped working. The goal is to see if YL202 can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06439836RecruitingPhase 1
Combination immunotherapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, CA-4948, combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced bladder cancer that grew after prior immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatments stop working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06439914RecruitingPhase 1
New PET scan to see immune response to lung cancer treatment
This study tests if a new type of PET scan can see changes in your immune system when you receive immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how well your treatment is working.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06439979Recruiting
Rural sun protection study for families and coaches
This study tests ways to help families and kids in rural Utah and West Virginia protect their skin from the sun during sports. It looks at sun safety habits and may include surveys or interviews for parents, coaches, and kids age 3 and older.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 3–7 - NCT06439940Recruiting
Early breast cancer detection with blood test
This study tests a new blood test (liquid biopsy) that looks for tiny molecules called microRNAs to find early signs of breast cancer. It aims to detect cancer before symptoms appear, using a simple blood draw during your regular mammogram visit.
