Researchers are looking for patients with gastroesophageal cancer (cancer of the food pipe and stomach) that has spread to the brain. This study will compare the genetic makeup of the original tumor with the cancer that spread to the brain to understand if they're the same or different. This information could help doctors choose better treatments for patients whose cancer has spread to the brain.
WHY IT MATTERSIf you have gastroesophageal cancer with brain metastases, this trial could help researchers understand why your cancer spread to the brain and potentially lead to more targeted treatment options in the future.

Researchers are testing a new experimental drug called EPI-326 in people with two types of cancer: non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer, both caused by mutations in the EGFR gene. This is an early-stage study (Phase 1) to see if the drug is safe and how much patients can tolerate. The study is currently accepting new participants and is expected to start in April 2026.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers access to a novel EGFR-targeted therapy for patients with EGFR-mutant lung or head and neck cancers who may have limited treatment options or resistance to current therapies.

Researchers are looking for African American cancer survivors to join a study about genetic testing. The study will test a new approach designed specifically for African American communities to help more people get tested for inherited cancer genes. Genetic testing can show if someone has genes that increase cancer risk, which helps with prevention and treatment planning.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial addresses a critical gap: African American cancer survivors are significantly underrepresented in genetic testing programs, meaning many miss opportunities for personalized cancer prevention and family screening.

Researchers are testing a new combination of three drugs (RBS2418, tremelimumab, and durvalumab) to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. This is an early-stage clinical trial (Phase 2) that is currently accepting patients. The study aims to see if combining these drugs works better than existing treatments.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers eligible patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma access to a novel three-drug combination that may provide a new treatment option beyond current standard therapies.
Clinical trialUNITERAREApr 3
Researchers are testing a new drug called Xaluritamig to treat Ewing sarcoma, a rare bone cancer that has come back or stopped responding to previous treatments. This is an early-stage study (Phase 1) that will include children, teenagers, and adults. The study is now accepting patients and is expected to start in April 2026.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers a potential new treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory Ewing sarcoma, a rare pediatric cancer with limited treatment alternatives after standard therapies fail.
Clinical trialUNITERAREApr 3
Researchers are looking for patients with a type of blood cancer called acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to test a new treatment combination. The study will test whether adding a drug called JZP458 to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone. This trial is just starting and will recruit patients beginning in April 2026.
WHY IT MATTERSThis Phase 2 trial is now actively recruiting newly diagnosed ALL patients without the Philadelphia chromosome, offering access to an investigational asparaginase formulation (JZP458) that may have improved tolerability compared to standard asparaginase.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin are testing a new combination of two cancer treatments called Hepzato Kit and Opdualag for patients with melanoma (a type of skin cancer) that has spread to the liver. This is an early-stage study that started in 2026 and is currently looking for patients to participate. The goal is to see if this combination can help people whose cancer has spread to multiple parts of their body.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers patients with metastatic melanoma and liver involvement access to a novel combination therapy at a major academic medical center, potentially providing treatment options for a particularly aggressive cancer presentation.
Clinical trialUNITERAREApr 3
Researchers are testing a new type of cell therapy made from umbilical cord blood to treat T-cell lymphoma that has stopped responding to other treatments. The therapy uses special immune cells called NK cells that are engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells. This is an early-stage study (Phase 1) that is now accepting patients.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers a potential new treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma who have limited alternatives after standard therapies fail, with enrollment beginning in April 2026.
Clinical trialUNITERAREApr 3
Prelude Therapeutics is testing a new drug called PRT12396 in people with certain blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms. This is an early-stage study (Phase 1) to see if the drug is safe and how it works in the body. The study is now accepting patients and is expected to start in April 2026.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers access to a potentially new treatment option for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms who may have limited alternatives, particularly if they have specific subtypes targeted by this drug.
Clinical trialUNITERAREApr 3
Researchers are testing a new combination treatment for advanced kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The treatment combines two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) with an experimental live biotherapeutic product called EXL01. This Phase 1 trial is now accepting patients to see if adding EXL01 to the standard immunotherapy improves outcomes.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients access to a novel combination approach that may enhance the effectiveness of existing immunotherapies by incorporating a live biotherapeutic product.
Clinical trialCLINICALTRIALSApr 1
Researchers are testing a new technology called SmartMatch that helps doctors find the best cancer medicines for patients with rare brain and spinal cord tumors. The technology works by taking a small piece of tumor removed during surgery and testing it against different drugs to see which ones work best. The study wants to see if SmartMatch can complete this analysis and give doctors a report within 3 weeks of surgery. This trial is looking for 80 patients with various types of brain tumors.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers patients with recurrent or advanced brain tumors access to personalized drug testing that could identify the most effective treatment for their specific tumor type within weeks of surgery.
Clinical trialCLINICALTRIALSApr 1
This is a continuation study for patients who are already taking the cancer drugs dabrafenib and/or trametinib and have done well on them. If your doctor thinks you're still benefiting from these medications after your original trial ends, you may be able to keep taking them through this new study. The study is looking for about 100 patients with various types of cancer including melanoma, lung cancer, and brain tumors.
WHY IT MATTERSThis rollover study allows patients whose cancers are responding well to dabrafenib and/or trametinib to continue access to these drugs after their original trial ends, rather than losing treatment.
Clinical trialCLINICALTRIALSApr 1
Researchers are testing a combination of two cancer drugs called dabrafenib and trametinib in patients with rare tumors that have a specific genetic change called BRAF V600E. This is a phase IV study, which means the drugs have already been approved and doctors are gathering more information about how well they work. The study will include children (age 1 and up) and adults, and is currently looking for 40 patients to participate.
WHY IT MATTERSIf you have a rare solid tumor with a BRAF V600E mutation and your doctor has already recommended dabrafenib plus trametinib treatment, this trial offers an opportunity to participate in research that could help future patients while receiving the same treatment your doctor planned for you anyway.

Researchers are building a large international database to collect information and tissue samples from children, teens, and young adults with rare brain tumors. By gathering this data from 5,800 patients, scientists hope to better understand these uncommon cancers and develop better treatments. The study is currently looking for patients to participate.
WHY IT MATTERSThis registry directly addresses rare brain tumors like astroblastoma and BCOR ITD sarcoma that have limited research data—participating patients contribute to the only large-scale international effort to understand these specific tumor types.
