Nelmastobart with chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, nelmastobart, combined with two standard chemotherapy drugs (trifluridine/tipiracil and bevacizumab) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06873815RecruitingPhase 2
Using a dye to help see cancer during vulvectomy for Paget's disease
This trial tests whether a fluorescent dye called fluorescein sodium can help surgeons see the edges of extramammary Paget's disease more clearly during vulvectomy, so they can remove all the cancer while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06874257Recruiting
Study of IDO1 inhibitor and PD-1 blocker for AML
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (an IDO1 inhibitor and a PD-1 blocker) given with standard chemotherapy (azacitidine and venetoclax) for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who cannot have intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach helps the immune system fight the leukemia better.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06874283Recruiting
Eye problems from cancer treatment registry
This study collects information and eye health data from people who have had cancer treatment, including stem cell transplants. It helps doctors understand how cancer therapies affect the eyes over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06874426Recruiting
How nose surgery on the skull base affects smell
This study looks at how having skull base surgery through the nose affects your sense of smell. It helps doctors learn more about changes in smell after this procedure.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–70 - NCT06874933RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus anlotinib and benmelstobart for HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests adding anlotinib (a targeted therapy) and benmelstobart (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for a specific type of breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients whose tumors have certain markers.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06874946RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nanobody-based CAR-T cells for relapsed T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called CAR-T cells) that are reprogrammed to find and destroy T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells that have the CD5 protein. It may be an option if your cancer has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–70 - NCT06875063RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CD19-positive relapsed B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy (a type of immune cell treatment) for patients with a specific kind of B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to previous therapy. The treatment targets a protein called CD19 on the cancer cells to help your immune system fight the lymphoma.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT06875128RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-directed chemo with standard chemo for breast cancer
This trial tests if giving a high dose of chemotherapy directly into the liver, followed by standard chemotherapy, is safe and works better than standard chemo alone for people with breast cancer that has spread mostly to the liver.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06875414Recruiting
Breast cancer and couple resilience study
