This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called TSLPR-CART for adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to target a protein called TSLPR found on …

This early-phase trial will test the safety and feasibility of adding the experimental drug glofitamab to standard chemoimmunotherapy (R-CHOP) in 15 people newly diagnosed with HIV-associated large B-cell lymphoma. Glofitamab is a bispecific antibody that helps the immune system …

This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) in people with rare cancers—synovial sarcoma and myxoid liposarcoma—that have spread or cannot be surgically removed. The drug is a type of immunotherapy designed to guide the body's immune cells to attack cancer …

This study tests adding a new drug, iberdomide, to standard chemoimmunotherapy for children and young adults (ages 1-30) whose neuroblastoma has returned, not responded, or worsened after prior treatment. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better at controlli…

This trial tests whether adding the bispecific antibody glofitamab to standard chemoimmunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with Burkitt lymphoma or high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements. These are fast-growing cancers that can be hard to treat. The st…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding tirzepatide (a weight-loss injection) to a levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) can eliminate precancerous or early-stage endometrial cancer in overweight or obese women. About 55 women who want to avoid hysterectomy will receive bo…

This phase III trial compares the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to active surveillance (no treatment) after kidney cancer surgery in patients with non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a less common type of kidney cancer. The goal is to see if pembrolizumab can help the immune …

This early-phase trial tests the safety and best dose of glofitamab, an antibody that helps the immune system attack cancer, when given alongside standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP and R-DHAP) for people with untreated mantle cell lymphoma. Sixteen adults aged 18 to 75 with stage II b…

This phase II trial compares a new two-drug combination (sacituzumab govitecan plus bevacizumab) against standard chemotherapy (carboplatin, liposomal doxorubicin, and bevacizumab) in 87 women with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer that has progressed after PARP inhibitor mainten…

This clinical trial is for people whose Hodgkin lymphoma has returned or not responded to first treatment. It has two parts: one for standard-risk patients testing a combination of targeted drugs (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) plus radiation, and another for high-risk patien…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding olutasidenib to standard treatments helps people with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). For AML, the standard is a chemotherapy pill plus venetoclax; for higher-risk MDS, it's the chemotherapy pill…

This early-stage trial tests whether combining two drugs—selumetinib and DS-8201a—can safely shrink or control advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS mutation) and a protein called HER2. About 31 adults with cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or…

This early-phase trial tests a new combination for recurrent glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. The treatment pairs Actimab-A, a radioactive antibody that seeks out cancer cells, with cemiplimab, an immunotherapy that helps the immune system attack tumors. About 30 adults …

This phase II trial tests whether adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy and stem cell transplant, followed by venetoclax maintenance, helps adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stay in remission longer. About 244 participants will receive either venetoclax or a placebo a…

This study tests whether adding epoetin alfa or emavusertib to luspatercept helps people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and anemia. MDS is a bone marrow disorder that leads to low blood counts. The goal is to see if these combinations improve red blood cell producti…

This pilot phase II trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, before surgery is safe and feasible for patients with high-risk clear cell kidney cancer that hasn't spread. Sixteen participants will receive the drugs and then undergo surgery …

This phase II trial compares a new combination of daratumumab and teclistamab against standard treatments for high-risk multiple myeloma that has relapsed or not responded to therapy. About 80 adults will be randomly assigned to either the new combo or usual care. The goal is to …

This early-phase trial tests a radioactive drug called tin-117m-DTPA in 24 people with prostate, breast, or lung cancer that has spread to the bones. The drug is designed to deliver low-level radiation directly to bone tumors while being gentler on the bone marrow. Researchers wi…

This phase 2 trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, can clear tiny amounts of cancer DNA from the blood of people with stage II or III colorectal cancer who have completed standard treatment. The study enrolls 20 adults whose blood still shows …

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding other drugs to standard chemotherapy can eliminate leftover leukemia cells in adults aged 18-59 before a stem cell transplant. Participants who still have detectable disease after initial treatment will receive one of four drug combinations…

This study follows women who previously received either one or two doses of the Gardasil9 HPV vaccine to see how long protection against HPV infection lasts. Researchers will check for persistent infections with HPV types linked to cancer. The goal is to understand if fewer doses…

This study tests a vaccine called SurVaxM in 80 current or former heavy smokers at high risk for lung cancer. The vaccine trains the immune system to recognize and attack cells that produce a protein called survivin, which is common in cancer cells. The goal is to see if the vacc…

This study collects spinal fluid, blood, saliva, and tumor samples from 139 adults with HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other organs but not yet to the brain. Researchers will analyze these samples for tumor DNA that might predict when the cancer…
