PALB2-related cancer predisposition

This phase 1 trial tests whether adding the experimental antibody axatilimab to the standard drug olaparib is safe and tolerable for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread and is linked to BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene changes. Researchers will enroll about 20 part…

This early-stage trial is testing whether combining two drugs—niraparib and irinotecan—can safely treat advanced solid tumors that have mutations in DNA repair genes like BRCA. The study will enroll 24 adults with various cancers, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and others…

This early-stage trial is testing a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (melphalan and BCNU) plus vitamins B12b and C, followed by an infusion of the patient's own stem cells. The goal is to see if this approach is safe for people with metastatic pancreatic or breast cancer, es…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks for DNA fragments from tumors in people with hereditary cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome or BRCA mutations. The goal is to see if the test can find cancers earlier than standard screening methods. Researchers will compare canc…

This study compares a new PET-CT scan (FCH-PET-CT) to standard imaging (bone scan and MRI/CT) to see which better finds cancer that has spread outside the pelvis in men with prostate cancer and specific DNA repair gene mutations. About 50 men with these mutations will be enrolled…

This study looks at two new approaches to cancer genetic counseling. The first helps doctors reach out to family members who may have inherited a cancer-related gene change, making it easier for them to get tested. The second uses an online portal to keep patients and their docto…
