Clinical Trials

Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.

  • STUDY17022

    First in Human, Phase 1/1b, Open label, Multicenter Study of Bifunctional EGFR/TGF ß Fusion Protein BCA101 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients with EGFR Driven Advanced Solid Tumors

    The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors.

  • STUDY22555

    Randomized Phase III Trial of M-Folfirinox +/- Nivolumab vs. Folfox +/- Nivolumab for First Line Treatment of Metastatic HER-2 Negtive Gastroesophageal Addenocarcinoma

    To determine if overall survival (OS) is improved in patients who received mFOLFIRINOX +/- nivolumab in comparison to FOLFOX +/- nivolumab as first-line chemotherapy for metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. To compare other indices of efficacy, including progression-free survival, objective response rates and duration of response between both treatment arms. To evaluate safety and tolerability associated with treatment in each of the treatment arms. To evaluate the proportion of patients receiving second line of therapy in both arms. To evaluate tolerability of the treatment in both arms using PRO-CTCAE
