This early-phase trial tested two drugs, lenalidomide and idelalisib, in 8 people with follicular lymphoma that had returned after previous treatment. Lenalidomide helps the immune system fight cancer, while idelalisib blocks enzymes that cancer cells need to grow. The main goal …

This study tested whether adding idelalisib to lenalidomide helps people with mantle cell lymphoma that has returned or is resistant to treatment. Lenalidomide boosts the immune system to fight cancer, while idelalisib blocks enzymes that help cancer cells grow. The trial involve…

This trial studies whether breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) followed by radiation is a safe and effective option for women aged 40 and older who have two or more breast cancer tumors in the same breast. The goal is to see if this less invasive approach can control the cance…

This study tested whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib to standard FOLFOX chemotherapy helps prevent cancer from returning in people with stage III colon cancer after surgery. Over 2,500 participants were randomly assigned to receive either celecoxib or a placebo a…

This study looked at how well older adults (70+) with advanced, hormone-sensitive breast cancer tolerate a combination of palbociclib and either letrozole or fulvestrant. The goal was to see if the treatment is safe and effective in this age group. 93 participants were enrolled, …

This study tested a combination of chemotherapy drugs in 318 adolescents and young adults (ages not specified but typically 15-39) with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal was to see how well the treatment worked at killing cancer cells and stopping the d…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, sorafenib and bevacizumab, in 83 people with advanced colorectal cancer that had spread and was no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal was to see if this combination could stop or slow tumor growth. Participants receive…

This study compared two surgical approaches for early-stage lung cancer: removing the entire lobe (lobectomy) versus removing just the tumor with a small margin (sublobar resection). Over 700 patients with small peripheral tumors were randomly assigned to one surgery. The goal wa…

This study looked at whether giving the drug bortezomib after intensive chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a stem cell transplant can help prevent mantle cell lymphoma from coming back. 151 patients were randomly assigned to receive bortezomib either as maintenance (long-term) or c…

This study looked at whether adding physical therapy to educational materials could prevent lymphedema (arm swelling) in women treated for breast cancer. Over 1,000 women who had lymph nodes removed were randomly assigned to receive either education alone or education plus a pers…

This study looked at whether women with early-stage breast cancer benefit from having a breast MRI in addition to standard mammograms before surgery. Researchers tracked 319 women to see if the MRI helped reduce the chance of cancer coming back, lowered the need for repeat surger…
