Four-Drug cocktail takes on tough bile duct cancer
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new mix of four drugs (gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and tislelizumab) in people with advanced bile duct cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer. About 61 adults will…

Suicide gene stem cells take on brain cancer in early trial
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-phase trial tests a new treatment for glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer. After standard surgery, patients receive a single dose of special stem cells that carry a 'suicide gene' directly into the tumor site. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can k…

Could a gout drug improve heart attack recovery?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new approach for people who recently had a heart attack and received a stent. Instead of taking two blood thinners (aspirin plus another drug), participants will take only one blood thinner (ticagrelor) plus a low dose of colchicine, a drug typically used for g…
