Glofitamab for Chinese adults with DLBCL who relapsed after first treatment
This study looks at how well a drug called Glofitamab works in Chinese adults with a type of lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) that has come back or not gotten better after one round of standard treatment. It will help doctors understand more about its effects in real-world settings.
Langfang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07455903RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy before surgery for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether giving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) before surgery can improve outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. You will receive a special PSMA PET/CT scan to see how the cancer responds.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 13–90 - NCT07438067RecruitingPhase 1
EBV-targeted cell therapy after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a special immune cell therapy (EBV-AST) for people who have high levels of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in their blood after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if it can safely control the virus and prevent related complications.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07214779RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs chemo for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This study tests a new drug (INCB123667) given as a pill, compared to standard chemotherapy, for people whose ovarian cancer has stopped responding to platinum-based treatments and whose tumor has high levels of a protein called Cyclin E1. The goal is to see if the new drug works better than standard chemo for this specific type of cancer.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07596654Recruiting
Surgery versus chemotherapy for early-stage small cell esophageal cancer
This study compares how well surgery works compared to chemotherapy and radiation for treating small cell cancer that started in the esophagus and hasn't spread far. Researchers will examine which approach helps patients live longer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07006688RecruitingPhase 1
Ivosidenib for IDH1-mutated cancers with liver or kidney issues
