Researchers are testing whether a fixed course of two oral drugs, zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax, can shrink chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back after earlier treatment. The trial enrolls about 44 adults whose cancer progressed …

This early-phase trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (ivonescimab and ADG126) alone or with chemotherapy in 30 adults with advanced or metastatic MSS colorectal cancer, a type that doesn't respond well to standard immunotherapy. The main goal is to find safe doses and check for s…

This phase 1 trial tests whether FPS-ZM1, a drug that blocks an inflammation pathway, can safely control brain swelling that often occurs after surgery for glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Researchers will give FPS-ZM1 with or without the steroid dexamethasone to about 24 ad…

This phase 3 trial tests a new method called PIPAC that delivers chemotherapy as a pressurized mist directly into the abdomen during a minimally invasive procedure. It compares this approach plus standard intravenous chemo (FOLFIRI) to standard chemo alone for people with appendi…

This trial is testing a new way to deliver radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Instead of standard radiation, it uses MRI to precisely target the tumor, potentially sparing healthy tissue and reducing side effects. The study will include about 20 adults with early-stage prosta…

This early-phase trial tests whether specially modified immune cells, called CD6-CAR Tregs, can safely control type 1 diabetes. The cells are made from the patient's own blood and designed to stop the immune system from attacking insulin-producing cells. Six adults with stage 3 t…

This early-phase trial tests two different drug combinations for people with T-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatment. One group receives belinostat plus azacitidine; the other receives belinostat plus pralatrexate. The goal is to find the safest dos…

This study tests a combination of two drugs, nemtabrutinib and rituximab, in about 35 adults with marginal zone lymphoma, a slow-growing blood cancer. The goal is to see if the combo is safe and can shrink or eliminate tumors. Participants will receive the drugs by mouth and thro…

This early-phase trial is testing a new personalized therapy called BSB-2002 for adults with a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells (T cells) that are genetically modified to …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three drugs—acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and tafasitamab—in 35 people with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. The goal is to see if this mix is safe and can lead to a complete response with very…

This early-stage trial tests a new drug, golcadomide, combined with rituximab for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. The study aims to find the safest dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. About 58 adults will take…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding a probiotic capsule (MO-03) to the drug zanzalintinib can help treat metastatic kidney cancer that has worsened after immunotherapy. About 34 adults with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma will receive both treatments. The goal is to …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of RP2 (a modified herpes simplex virus that targets and destroys tumor cells) and tivozanib (a drug that blocks tumor blood vessel growth) in 35 patients with metastatic kidney cancer that worsened after immunotherapy. The goal is to see if…

This study explores whether tear fluid can be used to detect tumor-related particles in people with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Brain tumors release tiny particles called extracellular vesicles that can be found in spinal fluid, but collecting spinal fluid is invasive a…

This early-phase trial tests a new radioactive tracer (64Cu-DOTA-A2DM) for PET scans in people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. The tracer is designed to attach to a protein called PSCA found on some pancreatic cancer cells, making them visible on the scan. The st…

Researchers at City of Hope test whether a prehabilitation program is practical for breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The program includes aerobic exercise, nutrition guidance, and education, all led by a physiatry team. Twenty participants will be ask…

This pilot study tests whether a dietitian-led High Fiber Program can help patients increase their fiber intake after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. The goal is to improve gut health and possibly reduce complications like graft-versus-host disease. About 44 adults…

This study tests whether scheduled meditation using the Headspace app can improve recovery after pancreatectomy (surgery to remove part of the pancreas). Seventy patients will be asked to meditate regularly before and after surgery, and researchers will track pain, anxiety, sleep…

This trial tests whether a mindfulness-based stress reduction program — including group sessions and one-on-one coaching — can help people living with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) manage symptoms like pain, anxiety, and poor sleep. cGVHD is a complication that can oc…

This early-phase trial tests whether a home-based morning light therapy program can help people with advanced melanoma who are receiving tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy. The light therapy is delivered through an iPad app and aims to improve the body's natural sleep-wa…

This pilot study tests whether a physiatry-led prehabilitation program—including exercise, nutrition, and mind-body practices—can help women with advanced gynecologic cancer stay stronger before surgery. Twenty-five participants will follow the program during their neoadjuvant tr…

This study looks at why some people develop chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Researchers will collect blood, stool, saliva, and tissue samples from 75 participants to track immune cell changes over time. The goal is to better understand the d…

This study will analyze data from over 150,000 people aged 55-74 to see if regular exercise is linked to living longer. Researchers will compare those who exercise at least twice a week with those who rarely exercise. The goal is to better understand how physical activity affects…

This trial tests whether monitoring sacral reflexes during surgery can predict nerve function afterward. Patients undergoing sacrectomy for pelvic bone cancer or spinal procedures will have their reflexes tracked in real time. The goal is to help surgeons make decisions and prepa…

This study collects health data from Apple Watches and iPhones of 1,200 cancer patients to build a research database. The goal is to see if wearable data like activity and heart rate can help personalize cancer prognosis and treatment. Participants must have an Apple Health app a…

This early-stage study tests whether healthy volunteers can regularly take two natural gut supplements, propionate and butyrate, which are normally made by the body. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and practical before trying it in patients receiving donor stem cell t…

This early study tests a wearable patch that uses sweat to measure health markers like glucose and oxygen levels, potentially reducing the need for blood draws. About 20 adults having chest or abdominal surgery will wear the patch. The goal is to see if the patch works well and i…

This pilot study tests whether a biology-guided therapy recommendations report can help doctors choose treatments for advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. Researchers will analyze tumor tissue from 20 patients to create…
