This study tests a drug called loncastuximab tesirine in adults with B-cell lymphomas that have returned or not responded to prior treatment. The drug works like a smart bomb, attaching to a marker on cancer cells and delivering chemotherapy directly to them. The main goal is to …

This small study tested whether giving the drug sacituzumab govitecan before surgery could help people with a rare type of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The drug targets cancer cells and delivers chemotherapy directly to them. Only 4 people took part before the study was stoppe…

This early-stage trial tested a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, aldesleukin (IL-2) and pembrolizumab, in 6 people with advanced kidney cancer that had spread. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the combination could shrink tumors. The study was terminated ear…

This phase II study tested the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in 9 people with untreated follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors or slow the disease. However, the trial was terminated early, so we have very l…

This study tested a dye called tozuleristide that makes oral cancer cells glow under special light during surgery. The goal was to help surgeons see and remove all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. The trial included 8 adults with oral cavity cancer or high-grade dysplasia. Th…

This small pilot study tested whether applying acupressure to the ear could help improve appetite and prevent weight loss in people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer. The approach uses small adhesive pellets placed on specific ear spots to stimulate the nervo…

This study tested whether a digital platform could improve collaborative care for depression in cancer patients. About 300 adults receiving cancer treatment with significant depression symptoms were enrolled. The platform aimed to help care managers track symptoms and coordinate …

This study tested two educational programs for parents with late-stage cancer who have children aged 5 to 17. The programs were designed to improve parent-child relationships and boost parents' confidence in talking about cancer with their kids. Researchers hoped to reduce anxiet…

This study looked at whether a specific gene mutation (HSD3B1) changes how well the hormone therapy letrozole works in postmenopausal women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. Researchers measured changes in tumor markers before and after treatment. The trial was e…

This study looked at whether special MRI scans can detect early signs that anti-HER2 therapy is working in women with HER2-positive breast cancer. Thirteen participants received one dose of trastuzumab before surgery, and researchers compared MRI changes to immune cell levels in …

This pilot study tested a decision aid designed to help older adults with early dementia or depression think about safer ways to store firearms at home. Only 5 people took part, and the study was ended early. The goal was to see if the tool was practical and acceptable, and wheth…
