This early-stage trial tested a combination of two immune-boosting drugs (CMP-001 and INCAGN01949) injected directly into tumors of people with stage IV pancreatic cancer or other advanced solid tumors (excluding melanoma). The goal was to see if the drugs could shrink tumors or …

This study looked at using mammography and breast MRI to find the best candidates for a type of radiation given during surgery (IORT) for early breast cancer. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce the need for additional surgery or radiation. The study was stopped ear…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, docetaxel and lapatinib, in people with advanced bladder cancer that had already been treated with chemotherapy. The goal was to see if the combination could stop the cancer from growing longer. The study was stopped early after enrol…
