Recruiting chemokineInhibitorCancer typePhaseTrial design/outcomeNCT number
CCL2CarlumabProstate cancer
Solid tumors
IICarlumab is well-tolerated with no anticancer activity as a single agentNCT00992186
CXCL12PlerixaforMetastatic pancreatic cancerIITrial is recruiting for a regimen of plerixafor and cemiplimab. Previous preclinical study highlighted the potential of plerixafor in reverting resistance to immune therapyNCT04177810
CSF‐1EmactuzumabSolid cancersIEmactuzumab is tested in combination with atezolizumab, as previous study showed that emactuzumab is well-tolerated and highly activeNCT02323191
