This study is testing whether a type of blood test called a liquid biopsy can find very small amounts of cancer left in the body after treatment—before cancer shows up on scans or causes symptoms.The blood test looks for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), tiny pieces of cancer DNA that may be present in the bloodstream. Researchers want to learn how well this test can:

• Detect cancer recurrence early
• Predict outcomes after treatment
• Support future use of blood‑based monitoring instead of—or in addition to—imaging tests

The purpose of this study is to understand knowledge and opinions about pancreatic cancer screening, access to and decision-making around screening, and how a blood-based test might influence screening among individuals with inherited (germline) mutations associated with increased pancreatic cancer risk, including APC, ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2, PMS2, STK11, and TP53. 

This trial will study the safety, tolerability, and initial effectiveness of MOMA-341, a new type of targeted therapy, alone or in combination with a standard chemotherapy (irinotecan) or together with an immunotherapy to treat people with advanced or metastatic cancers with certain types of mutations.

We are conducting a fully-online research study to learn more about how genes affect your risk of breast cancer. No office visit is required. Participants provide consent online, answer questions online about their health and medical history, and provide DNA via a saliva sample using a pre-paid mailer through the mail. In return for participation, study participants may receive information about their genetic ancestry for free.

The study will determine whether the study medicine mevrometostat can delay or stop the growth of metastatic prostate cancer. Mevrometostat is thought to work by blocking the abnormal EZH2 activity in cells, which may help prevent or delay hormone therapy resistance and cancer growth and progression.

CAR-T therapy is a type of immunotherapy that uses the patient's own immune cells in order to treat their cancer. With CAR-T therapy, the immune cells are removed from the blood and enhanced in the lab to improve their ability to kill cancer cells. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the safety and effectiveness of an experimental CAR-T combination known as CLBR001+ABBV-461 for treating people with metastatic breast cancer. Another goal is to learn the best dose of this combination for treating metastatic breast cancer. 

This study is testing whether a new targeted drug called puxitatug samrotecan (Puxi-Sam) works better than standard chemotherapy for treating advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer whose cancer has grown or returned after prior treatment with platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy. 

This clinical trial is studying two different immunotherapy approaches for people with endometrial cancer that has come back after treatment (recurrent). It focuses on tumors that have a biomarker called mismatch repair deficiency, (dMMR or MMR-D) or microsite instability high (MSI-High). These biomarkers are often found in cancers that respond to immunotherapy.

Prostate cancer is very common among male Veterans. Current screening tests, like the PSA blood test, can find cancer early but can also lead to unnecessary testing and treatment. This study will use genetic testing to see if they can determine which men are at higher risk for serious prostate cancer and which men are at low risk and can avoid unnecessary biopsies. Participants will have testing that looks for gene mutations that may increase the risk for prostate cancer.

This trial will evaluate the optimal dose, safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called E7386 given together with a targeted therapy called lenvatinib.

This study is looking at whether using a shorter type of MRI known as bpMRI (biparametric MRI) in combination with PSA tests in men who are at high risk of developing prostate cancer will improve prostate cancer screening and lead to earlier detection. 

Researchers are surveying Latina breast cancer survivors and patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer within the past five years, lived in California at the time of diagnosis, and are between the ages of 20 and 79 years old.

This clinical trial is studying whether the combination of two targeted therapies, abemaciclib (Verzenio) and a new targeted therapy  ZEN003694 (also known as ZEN-3694) can be given together safely and what dose should be used in future studies.

This study is testing a new targeted therapy, sacituzumab tirumotecan, given alone or with the immunotherapy Keytruda (pembrolizumab) to treat metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Keytruda is an immunotherapy that is FDA approved to treat TNBC. The goal of the study is to learn how well sacituzumab tirumotecan can cause tumors to shrink or disappear and how long that response lasts.

This trial will study the safety, tolerability, and initial effectiveness of MOMA-313, a new type of targeted therapy, alone or in combination with the PARP inhibitor olaparib to treat people with advanced or metastatic cancers with certain types of mutations.

The study will test if an investigational treatment, XL309, is safe and works when used alone or in combination with a PARP inhibitor to treat people with some advanced solid tumors. The study is enrolling people with BRCA1 or BRCA2 inherited mutations and have HER2-negative breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, high grade ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer; or other solid tumors with certain genetic mutations. 

This phase II trial evaluates how well immunotherapy (toripalimab) works for reducing the risk of cancer recurrence after surgery in patients with mismatch repair deficient stage IIB, IIC, or III colon cancer.

This survey is now closed. 

The nonprofit organization, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE) is working with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to learn about people’s needs for information, support and services related to breast health, breast cancer risk and screening. The information will be collected through an online survey. There are two parts to this survey; 1) a short eligibility questionnaire, and 2) a full survey. 

This study is looking at whether people with ovarian cancer do better when they take the drug olaparib (also called Lynparza) for one year or for two years after finishing chemotherapy. Some participants in the study may also get another medicine called bevacizumab (Avastin) along with olaparib. You may be able to join this study if you have stage 3 or 4 ovarian cancer and either a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change, or a certain tumor marker called HRD.
