Partial cystectomy with chemo for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether removing part of the bladder (partial cystectomy) along with standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery is effective for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread beyond the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT06090864RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Engineered immune cells for Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment where your own immune cells are modified to better attack Hodgkin lymphoma cells. It is for people whose disease has not responded to other therapies.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05995821Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection for head and neck cancers
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancers of the head, neck, or upper airway to learn how the immune system responds to these cancers. The goal is to find better ways to treat these diseases in the future.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05976763RecruitingPhase 3
Testing continuous vs. intermittent zanubrutinib for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether taking the targeted drug zanubrutinib continuously is better than taking it on a schedule with breaks for older adults with untreated mantle cell lymphoma. The goal is to find a treatment that works while reducing side effects.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 60 years+ - NCT04715191RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for GPC3-positive pediatric solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a customized immune-cell treatment (CAR T cells) made to recognize GPC3, a marker found on some tumors. It’s designed for children and young people whose solid tumors have not been cured by standard treatment and who can safely receive this therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - NCT07408531Recruiting
AI-enhanced lung cancer screening study
This trial uses artificial intelligence to better predict your lung cancer risk from your low-dose CT scan. You will watch a short video, answer a survey, and optionally give a blood sample to help improve future screening.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50–80 - NCT06386887Recruiting
Fasting During Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer
This trial tests whether adding periods of fasting to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps people with advanced ovarian cancer. It is for those receiving platinum-based chemo for the first time or after recurrence.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06510374RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy vs. observation for intermediate risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec versus just watching and waiting (observation) for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. The goal is to see if the gene therapy can help keep the cancer from coming back.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07594067RecruitingPhase 1
TCR T cells for KRAS-mutated cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (TCR T cells) designed to target a specific KRAS mutation (G12V) in certain advanced cancers. It may be an option for people with pancreatic, bile duct, colorectal, or lung cancer who have already tried standard treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05886920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced cancers with specific MAPK changes
