Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for patients with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It combines radiation therapy with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug before the patient's main surgery, to see if it can shrink or eliminate the tumor more effectively.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT06888102RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Epigenetic therapy before prostate surgery
This trial tests a short course of 'epigenetic therapy' (drugs that change how genes work) given before prostate removal surgery. The goal is to see if it can improve treatment effects and help shrink or control the tumor.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04138212RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo alone vs chemo with radiation before esophagus surgery
This study compares chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy plus radiation given before surgery for locally advanced esophagus squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see which treatment helps more people have a successful operation and better cancer control.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05469022RecruitingPhase 2
Lazertinib before lung surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking lazertinib before surgery can shrink or control EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma that can be fully removed by an operation. It uses a special liquid biopsy from fluid in the lungs to confirm the EGFR mutation and guide treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07506876RecruitingPhase 2
Combined hormone and chemo before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests combining hormone therapy with chemotherapy and targeted therapy before surgery for a type of breast cancer that is both hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-positive. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Gresham, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT05306041RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery hormone therapy with or without PI3K inhibitor
This trial tests whether giving hormone-blocking treatment before surgery works better when combined with an added targeted drug for certain breast cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people whose tumors have specific hormone and genetic features.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07483307RecruitingPhase 2
