This trial tests the drug entrectinib (Rozlytrek) in people with rare cancers that have a specific genetic change called ROS1 fusion. The drug is already approved for some lung cancers, but researchers want to see if it works for other tumor types. About 30 adults, teens, and chi…

This trial tests atezolizumab, a drug already approved for several cancers, in people with rare cancers that have high tumor mutational burden (TMB) or microsatellite instability (MSI). The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing for at least 24 wee…

This study tests a drug called alectinib, already approved for some lung cancers, in people with rare cancers that have a specific genetic change called ALK. About 30 adults, teens, and children with ALK-positive cancers will receive alectinib to see if it shrinks tumors or stops…

This phase III trial tests whether giving focused radiation before surgery for brain metastases works better than giving it after surgery. The study involves 180 patients with cancer that has spread to the brain. Researchers will compare how well each approach controls the diseas…

This study tests if a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see the edges of bone or soft tissue tumors during surgery. About 100 adults with benign or malignant masses will receive the dye before their tumor is removed. The goal is to see if using the dye …

This study is testing a new radioactive tracer called 68Ga-TOI-1 for PET scans in people with lung cancer or suspicious lung nodules. The tracer targets a protein (CDH3) found only on cancer cells, which may help doctors see tumors more clearly than current scans. About 80 partic…

This study tests an experimental drug called LY3537021 to see if it can better control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in adults with cancer. About 204 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers will track who has no vomiting and does not n…

Chemotherapy often causes nausea and vomiting, which is especially hard for children. This study tests a new IV drug called NEPA (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) to prevent these side effects in kids with cancer. The trial has two parts: first, an open-label phase to find the right d…

This study is testing a weight loss program that uses a smartphone app and a coach to help teens and young adults who are overweight after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if the program can help them lose weight and build healthy eating habits. About 20 people who are …

This study tests whether a single 25 mg dose of psilocybin can relieve major depression in 100 adults with cancer, compared to a very low 1 mg dose. Participants must be 20–80 years old, have had depression for at least a month after their cancer diagnosis, and stop other antidep…
