This early-phase trial tests whether specially modified immune cells, called CD6-CAR Tregs, can safely control type 1 diabetes. The cells are made from the patient's own blood and designed to stop the immune system from attacking insulin-producing cells. Six adults with stage 3 t…

This study tests a combination of two drugs, nemtabrutinib and rituximab, in about 35 adults with marginal zone lymphoma, a slow-growing blood cancer. The goal is to see if the combo is safe and can shrink or eliminate tumors. Participants will receive the drugs by mouth and thro…

This early-phase trial is testing a new personalized therapy called BSB-2002 for adults with a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells (T cells) that are genetically modified to …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three drugs—acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and tafasitamab—in 35 people with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. The goal is to see if this mix is safe and can lead to a complete response with very…

This study tests a targeted radiation technique (TMLI) combined with two chemotherapy drugs before a stem cell transplant in people aged 50 and older with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has not responded to treatment or has returned. The goal is to see if…

This early-stage trial tests a new drug, golcadomide, combined with rituximab for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. The study aims to find the safest dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. About 58 adults will take…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding a probiotic capsule (MO-03) to the drug zanzalintinib can help treat metastatic kidney cancer that has worsened after immunotherapy. About 34 adults with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma will receive both treatments. The goal is to …

This early-phase trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (ivonescimab and ADG126) alone or with chemotherapy in 30 adults with advanced or metastatic MSS colorectal cancer, a type that doesn't respond well to standard immunotherapy. The main goal is to find safe doses and check for s…

This phase 3 trial tests a new method called PIPAC that delivers chemotherapy as a pressurized mist directly into the abdomen during a minimally invasive procedure. It compares this approach plus standard intravenous chemo (FOLFIRI) to standard chemo alone for people with appendi…

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of RP2 (a modified herpes simplex virus that targets and destroys tumor cells) and tivozanib (a drug that blocks tumor blood vessel growth) in 35 patients with metastatic kidney cancer that worsened after immunotherapy. The goal is to see if…

This early-phase trial tests a new radioactive tracer (64Cu-DOTA-A2DM) for PET scans in people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. The tracer is designed to attach to a protein called PSCA found on some pancreatic cancer cells, making them visible on the scan. The st…

This pilot study tests whether a dietitian-led High Fiber Program can help patients increase their fiber intake after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. The goal is to improve gut health and possibly reduce complications like graft-versus-host disease. About 44 adults…

This early-phase trial tests whether a home-based morning light therapy program can help people with advanced melanoma who are receiving tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy. The light therapy is delivered through an iPad app and aims to improve the body's natural sleep-wa…

This study tests whether scheduled meditation using the Headspace app can improve recovery after pancreatectomy (surgery to remove part of the pancreas). Seventy patients will be asked to meditate regularly before and after surgery, and researchers will track pain, anxiety, sleep…

This pilot study tests whether a physiatry-led prehabilitation program—including exercise, nutrition, and mind-body practices—can help women with advanced gynecologic cancer stay stronger before surgery. Twenty-five participants will follow the program during their neoadjuvant tr…

This early-phase trial will test a new PET imaging agent called 64Cu-DOTA-pembrolizumab in 6 people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who are already on the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if the imaging agent can safely tell the difference between tum…

This early-stage study tests whether healthy volunteers can regularly take two natural gut supplements, propionate and butyrate, which are normally made by the body. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and practical before trying it in patients receiving donor stem cell t…

This early study tests a wearable patch that uses sweat to measure health markers like glucose and oxygen levels, potentially reducing the need for blood draws. About 20 adults having chest or abdominal surgery will wear the patch. The goal is to see if the patch works well and i…

This pilot study tests whether a biology-guided therapy recommendations report can help doctors choose treatments for advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. Researchers will analyze tumor tissue from 20 patients to create…

This study looks at why some people develop chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Researchers will collect blood, stool, saliva, and tissue samples from 75 participants to track immune cell changes over time. The goal is to better understand the d…

This study will analyze data from over 150,000 people aged 55-74 to see if regular exercise is linked to living longer. Researchers will compare those who exercise at least twice a week with those who rarely exercise. The goal is to better understand how physical activity affects…
