Recruiting studies near Charlotte
- NCT04389281RecruitingPhase 1
X-ray light-activated therapy for hard-to-treat skin tumors
This early-phase study tests an X-ray–activated medicine that is delivered directly into selected tumors to help control cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. If the injected area can be treated safely, it may shrink or slow the tumor and improve local control.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06823167RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IM-1021 for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug (IM-1021) for people with advanced cancers like lymphoma or solid tumors who have run out of standard options. The drug targets a protein called ROR1, which is found on some cancer cells, and may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations
This Phase 2 study tests amivantamab (an antibody medicine) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer when standard curative treatments aren’t possible.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06765109RecruitingPhase 3
Testing neladalkib for untreated ALK-positive lung cancer
This study tests a new pill called neladalkib to see if it works better than the current standard treatment (alectinib) for people with ALK-positive lung cancer who have not yet received any cancer therapy for advanced disease. It may be a good option if you have ALK-positive NSCLC and have not been treated before.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05646862RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two treatments for advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation
This trial tests whether a new drug combo (inavolisib plus fulvestrant) works better than an existing one (alpelisib plus fulvestrant) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. It aims to find a treatment that may help control the cancer longer.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06095089RecruitingPhase 1
Study of two drugs for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two study drugs for people with advanced prostate cancer that has spread or is no longer responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works against the cancer.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06790693RecruitingPhase 3
Inavolisib plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy, inavolisib, combined with standard hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor for people with a specific genetic mutation (PIK3CA) in their hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has not been treated before. It compares this combination to a placebo plus the same standard treatments.

INX-315 for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial studies an experimental medicine (INX-315) given in an “open-label” way to people with advanced cancer that has not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and side effects first, and also checks how well it works in cancers with a specific gene amplification.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06667076RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab combinations for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests two treatment combinations for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. One group gets amivantamab plus lazertinib, and the other gets amivantamab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combo works better.

The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05058651RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced neuroendocrine cancer outside the lung
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (a rare and aggressive cancer) that started outside the lung. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07195734RecruitingPhase 2

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug testing for advanced cancer with tumor gene changes
This trial tests whether FDA-approved targeted drugs can help people with advanced cancer whose tumors have specific gene changes. It aims to match your tumor's unique genetic profile to a drug that may work better for you.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 12 years+ - NCT04205968RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ramucirumab with chemo for advanced small bowel cancer
This trial studies whether adding ramucirumab to chemotherapy (either paclitaxel or FOLFIRI) works better for advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma that has already been treated with certain prior medicines. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in people whose cancer has progressed.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04142437Recruiting
Tracking how larotrectinib works for NTRK fusion cancers in routine care

What taking part in a advanced cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
