Can adding chemotherapy before surgery beat penile cancer?
Disease control OngoingThis phase 3 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy before surgery improves survival for people with penile cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the groin. Participants are randomly assigned to receive standard surgery alone, chemotherapy followed by sur…

Can a targeted antibody take on glioblastoma?
Disease control OngoingThis phase 1 trial is testing whether amivantamab, an antibody drug given by IV, is safe and tolerable for people with high-grade malignant brain tumors like glioblastoma. The study enrolls about 12 patients with recurrent glioblastoma or certain molecular subtypes. Participants …

New drug combo aims to outsmart resistant cancers
Disease control OngoingThis early-phase trial tests a new drug, ASTX660, combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab in people with advanced solid tumors, including cervical and triple-negative breast cancers. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can boost the immune system to fight canc…

New drug combo aims to outsmart lung Cancer's immune evasion
Disease control OngoingThis early-phase trial tests two drugs, tepotinib and pembrolizumab, together in 19 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Tepotinib targets a specific gene change (MET) that can help cancer grow, while pembrolizumab boosts the immune system. The goal is to see if this …

New drug combo targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
Disease control OngoingThis Phase I trial tests a combination of two oral drugs, defactinib and VS-6766, in people with advanced solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer, low-grade serous ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The study aims to find the safest dose and evaluate how well the drug…

Gene-Guided drug cocktail shows promise for Tough-to-Treat gynaecological cancers
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial tests a new drug (ceralasertib) alone or combined with either olaparib or durvalumab in 174 people whose gynaecological cancer has returned. The study groups patients by their cancer type and whether they have a change in the ARID1A gene. The goal is to see if …

Gene test could match prostate cancer patients to better chemo
Disease control OngoingThis study looks at whether men with a certain type of advanced prostate cancer (castration-resistant) who have inherited DNA repair gene mutations respond better to the chemotherapy drug carboplatin. Researchers will first screen participants for these genetic changes, then trea…

New drug combo may keep breast cancer from coming back
Disease control OngoingThis phase 3 trial tests whether adding the drug abemaciclib to standard hormone therapy can lower the chance of breast cancer returning in postmenopausal women with a high-risk type. About 123 participants will receive either hormone therapy alone or with abemaciclib for up to 2…

Hunt for prostate cancer genes in 24,000 men
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks for genetic changes that raise the risk of prostate cancer, especially in men diagnosed young or with a family history. Over 23,800 men with prostate cancer provided DNA samples. The goal is to find inherited genes linked to the disease, which could improve risk …

Blood tests could reveal who reacts differently to radiation
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at blood samples from 25 cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. Researchers want to find specific genes that show how each person's body responds to radiation. The goal is to better understand individual reactions and possibly personalize radiation treatmen…

DNA test could revolutionize prostate cancer screening
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at whether a simple genetic test can identify men who are more likely to have prostate cancer, so screening can be focused on them. About 300 Caucasian men aged 55 to 69 will provide a DNA sample and, if their genetic risk score is high, they will be offered a pr…

Genetic prostate cancer screening study aims to catch tumors early
Knowledge-focused OngoingThe IMPACT study is an international effort to screen men aged 40-69 who carry BRCA1, BRCA2, or mismatch repair gene mutations, which raise their risk of prostate cancer. Participants receive annual PSA tests and optional biopsies if levels are high. The goal is to learn how ofte…
