This phase 3 trial is testing an experimental oral drug, SAR302503, in people with a rare bone marrow disorder called myelofibrosis who have an enlarged spleen. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the…

This early-stage trial is testing whether genetically modified T-cells can safely control viral infections in cancer patients with weakened immune systems. The T-cells are designed to target specific viruses like CMV, BK virus, or COVID-19. The study involves 30 participants and …

This phase 2 trial aimed to see if infliximab and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) could help cancer patients with severe lung inflammation that didn't respond to steroids. Only one patient was enrolled before the study was terminated, so no meaningful results were obtained. The…

This phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called SAR302503 in people with myelofibrosis who have already been treated with ruxolitinib. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink the spleen by at least 35% after six months of daily oral capsules. The study also tracks whe…

This early-stage study tested a new drug called VVD-130850, which blocks a protein (STAT3) that helps cancers grow. The trial aimed to find a safe dose and see if the drug works, both alone and with another immunotherapy, in people with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers. The…

This phase II trial tested whether the drug ibrutinib could prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in adults who had received a donor stem cell transplant. Only 2 people enrolled before the study was terminated early. Because of the very small number of participants, no…

This early-phase study tested a new drug called PF-08046032, given alone or with another drug (sasanlimab), in adults with advanced lymphomas or solid tumors like lung cancer and melanoma. The trial aimed to check safety and find the right dose, but it was terminated early after …

This study tested a combination of two drugs, bintrafusp alfa and pimasertib, in people whose cancer had spread to the brain. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the treatment could slow or stop the cancer from growing. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only…

This study tested whether the antibiotic ceftolozane-tazobactam, guided by a rapid molecular test, could effectively treat serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in people with blood cancers or those who had a stem cell transplant. The 17 participants received the antibiotic t…

This study tested two extra care programs—supportive palliative care and clinical management of other health issues—for older or frail patients who had a donor stem cell transplant. The goal was to see if these programs could improve quality of life and survival compared to stand…

This early-phase study aimed to see if combining two immune-stimulating drugs (rintatolimod and interferon alpha-2b) could help cancer patients fight off COVID-19. Only 4 people took part before the study was stopped early. The main goals were to check safety and measure how the …

This study tested a single injection of fibrinogen concentrate followed by a platelet transfusion in blood cancer patients with severe bleeding who did not respond to standard platelet transfusions. The goal was to see if it improved blood clotting. However, the trial was termina…

This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called BR108 in 8 adults with advanced blood cancers (lymphoma, leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome) that had not responded to prior treatments. The drug was given by IV infusion twice per cycle. The main goals were to check sa…

This study tested a bone marrow transplant using a partially matched family donor for people with blood cancers like leukemia. The goal was to see if a milder conditioning regimen and a drug called cyclophosphamide could help patients survive at least 180 days after transplant. T…

This study tested a new drug called INCB059872 in people with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers that had not responded to standard treatments. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if it could control the disease. The trial was stopped early, so results are limited.

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two drugs, omacetaxine and venetoclax, in 24 adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that had a specific genetic change called RUNX1. The goal was to find the best dose and se…

This early-phase trial tested whether adding the drug itacitinib to standard immune-suppressing medications could help prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people receiving stem cell transplants for blood cancers. The study enrolled 84 participants with leukemia, lymphoma,…

This study looked at a new way to prevent severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children who had a bone marrow transplant for blood cancers. The goal was to see if stopping certain immune-suppressing drugs after day 60 could lower the risk of severe GVHD. Only 3 children too…

This pilot study looked at whether radiation therapy could help people with lymphoma that did not respond to CAR T cell therapy. Only 3 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated. The main goal was to check safety and side effects of adding radiation shortly after…

This pilot study tested whether a special PET scan (FDG-PET/CT) can detect hidden heart inflammation in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The goal was to catch this inflammation early, before it becomes severe. Only 2 participants were enrolled, and t…

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 why minority cancer patients often don't take part in clinical trials. Researchers surveyed patients about their understanding and attitudes, then tested an educational video and booklet to see if it boosted enrollment. The goal was to create a personalized p…

This study tested whether consumer movement trackers could provide a more precise measure of cancer patients' physical abilities than the standard ECOG score, which relies on a doctor's observation. Researchers enrolled 41 cancer patients and used a Kinect device to record their …

This study looked at how the cancer drug tazemetostat is processed in the body of people with advanced solid tumors who also have moderate or severe liver impairment. Researchers compared drug levels in these patients to those with normal liver function. The trial was terminated …

This study looked at how healthy brothers and sisters of children with blood cancer felt about the information they got about the disease. Researchers interviewed 7 children aged 6 to 12 to understand their satisfaction and what they thought about the illness. The goal was to imp…
