This study tests whether using MRI brain scans alone to watch for cancer spread is as good as combining MRI with preventive brain radiation in people with small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if avoiding radiation can reduce side effects and help patients live longer. About…

This study compares two immunotherapy drugs—nivolumab alone versus nivolumab plus ipilimumab—in people with stage IV squamous cell lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment. Participants do not have a specific biomarker that would match them to another targeted ther…

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug (N-803) to the immunotherapy pembrolizumab can help control advanced non-small cell lung cancer better than standard treatments. The drug combo aims to activate natural killer cells and boost the immune system's attack on cance…

This study tests a combination of the targeted drug amivantamab plus two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) in 50 people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks tumors or controls the disease. Participants …

This phase III trial tests whether an immune-enhancing nutritional supplement, taken before and after bladder cancer removal surgery, can reduce post-operative complications and infections. About 203 participants are randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo…

This phase II trial tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan in 44 patients with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The drug is a targeted antibody that delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells. The goal is to see if it can shrink brain tumors or slo…

This phase II trial is testing whether adding the drug asciminib to standard treatment can improve outcomes for people newly diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). The study will enroll 55 participants and involves several phases o…

This phase 3 trial tests whether a combination of two drugs—ramucirumab (which blocks blood vessel growth to tumors) and pembrolizumab (which boosts the immune system)—works better than standard chemotherapy for people with advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer that ha…

This phase II trial tests the drug selpercatinib (LOXO-292) in 124 people with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called a RET fusion. The drug works by blocking enzymes that help cancer cells grow. Researchers are measuring how ma…

This phase III trial is testing whether a different strain of BCG (Tokyo-172) works better than the standard TICE strain for high-grade bladder cancer that hasn't spread into muscle. It also looks at whether giving a BCG vaccine under the skin before the usual bladder treatment h…

This phase 3 trial tested whether adding the drug everolimus to standard hormone therapy helps prevent breast cancer from returning in nearly 2,000 patients with high-risk, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Participants received either hormone therapy plus e…

This study tests whether adding a drug called ruxolitinib to standard CML medications (like imatinib or dasatinib) can lower the amount of leukemia cells even more in people whose cancer is still detectable. About 81 adults with chronic phase CML will take part. The goal is to se…

This study tests a drug called AMG 510 in people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12C mutation). The drug is designed to block the cancer's growth signal. About 116 participants will receive the treatment to see if it can shrink tumors and slow …

This phase 3 study tests whether adding daratumumab to the standard drug lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after a stem cell transplant can better control multiple myeloma. About 1,100 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either lenalidomide alone or lenalidomide p…

This study tests whether taking two drugs, eflornithine and sulindac, together can lower the chance of new high-risk growths or a second colon cancer in people who have already had stage 0 to III colon or rectal cancer. About 350 participants who are cancer-free after surgery wil…

This study tests whether regular symptom check-ins via text or email, plus educational materials, can help young women with early-stage breast cancer stay on their hormone therapy. Many women stop treatment early due to side effects. The trial involves 565 women and compares symp…

This study aims to find out why some cancer patients develop nerve damage (tingling or numbness in hands and feet) from taxane chemotherapy. Researchers will track over 1,300 people with breast, lung, or ovarian cancer to see how age, gender, and other factors affect their risk. …

This study looks at whether a financial navigation program can help cancer patients and their partners manage the high costs of treatment. About 331 people with advanced cancer will get either the program or usual care. The goal is to see if this support reduces financial hardshi…

This study looks at whether web-based decision support tools can help women with atypical hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ (conditions that raise breast cancer risk) make informed choices about chemoprevention. About 412 women and their healthcare providers will use educa…

This study is testing whether a blood marker called miRNA 371 can predict if germ cell tumors (a type of cancer) will return after treatment. Researchers will collect blood samples from 956 newly diagnosed patients and track who has a relapse. The goal is to see if this marker ca…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and scientists (a genomic tumor board) can help more patients with advanced solid tumors get treatments that match their cancer's genetic makeup. About 1,284 patients will take part. The goal is to see if this team approach le…
