San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–25 - NCT07637578RecruitingPhase 2
Elranatamab infusions for relapsed or refractory myeloma
This study tests a new drug called elranatamab given as outpatient infusions for multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding to prior treatments. The drug is designed to help your immune system fight the cancer cells.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07603479RecruitingPhase 1
Testing JL19001 for Advanced Cancers and Lymphoma
This is an early-stage study testing a new drug called JL19001, alone or combined with standard treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors (like melanoma, lung cancer, or kidney cancer) or relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma who have exhausted standard options. The trial aims to find the safest dose and understand how well the drug works.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07342478RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two BTK inhibitors for CLL/SLL after prior treatment
This study compares two oral targeted therapies, rocbrutinib and pirtobrutinib, for people with CLL or SLL whose disease has come back or stopped responding after treatment with a covalent BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib). The goal is to see which drug works better and has fewer side effects.
Skokie, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07549022RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BMS-986504 for Unresectable Nerve Sheath Tumors
This study tests whether a new drug called BMS-986504 is safe and effective for treating malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) that cannot be surgically removed. The drug targets a specific genetic change (MTAP deletion) found in these tumors.
Cleveland, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT07755436RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ARR-002 for advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called ARR-002 in people with advanced or metastatic ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and whether it shrinks tumors.
Irving, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06880549RecruitingPhase 1
mRNA cancer vaccine study for advanced solid tumors
This study tests two new mRNA-based vaccines, alone or with other cancer drugs, in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the vaccines are safe and can help shrink or control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06840834RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for mesothelioma that has returned after prior treatment
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab for people with pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining) that has grown back after earlier immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug may help by blocking a protein that tumors use to hide from the immune system, possibly slowing or shrinking the cancer.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04253964RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see how well this treatment works in patients with different levels of daily activity.
