Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06682936Recruiting
Outpatient talc procedure for cancer-related fluid buildup
This trial tests whether a talc procedure to seal the lung (pleurodesis) can be done safely in an outpatient setting for people with fluid buildup from cancer. It aims to make the treatment more convenient.
Stockton-on-Tees, County DurhamAges 18 years+ - NCT06682988RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a drug called mirvetuximab soravtansine for people with platinum-resistant ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has high levels of a protein called folate receptor-alpha (FRα). It is given through a vein (IV) and aims to stop cancer from growing.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06683066RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a prostate cancer drug for bioequivalence
This trial checks if a new version of the prostate cancer drug triprerelin works the same as the current one. It may be an option for men with prostate cancer who need hormone therapy.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06683274Recruiting
Cleft lift surgery for complex pilonidal sinus
This trial tests a surgical technique called the Bascom cleft lift to see if it improves healing for people with complex or returning pilonidal sinus disease. It aims to help wounds heal properly without further problems.
DordrechtAges 16 years+ - NCT06683846RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced rare tumors: a safety & early-efficacy study
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab in people with advanced, rare tumor types that have spread (stage IV). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06684028Recruiting
PET imaging of a new tracer for cancer patients
This study uses a new imaging agent called [68Ga]-FAPI-JNU to take detailed pictures of tumors with a PET/CT scan. It aims to see how well this tracer works in people with various types of cancer.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06684327RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three chemotherapy drugs for rare advanced cancers
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (albumin-paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) for people with certain rare cancers that have spread to other parts of the body (stage IV). It looks at how well the treatment works and if it is safe.
