New Recruiting Trial: Immunotherapy (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) With and Without a Live Biotherapeutic Product (EXL01) for the Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer

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.

New Recruiting Trial: Nuwiq Dosing and Outcomes In the ManagEment of Women/Girls With Haemophilia A Needing FVIII Treatment for Surgery

This is a clinical trial testing a blood clotting medicine called Nuwiq in women and girls with hemophilia A who need surgery.

New Recruiting Trial: A Study to Compare Elritercept With Epoetin Alfa to Treat Anemia in Adults With Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Who Need Regular Blood Transfusions

Researchers are testing a new drug called elritercept to see if it works better than a standard treatment (epoetin alfa) for anemia in adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)—a blood disorder where the bone marrow doesn't make enough healthy blood cells. People in this study have low, very low, or intermediate risk MDS and need regular blood transfusions. The trial is now accepting patients.

WHY IT MATTERSThis Phase 3 trial is actively recruiting adults with MDS who require transfusions, offering access to an investigational treatment that may reduce their dependence on blood transfusions.

This is a Phase 4 trial, which means the treatment has already been tested before and researchers want to learn more about how well it works.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now actively recruiting pregnant women with sickle cell disease — participation could help prevent pregnancy complications like stroke, organ damage, and miscarriage that occur at higher rates in this population.
