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+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07100106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GDC-4198 alone or with giredestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new treatment (GDC-4198) alone or with another drug (giredestrant) compared to a standard combination (abemaciclib and giredestrant) for people with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatments.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05125016RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced prostate cancer after standard treatments
This early-phase study tests whether REGN4336 is safe and how well it works, by itself or with REGN5678, in adults with advanced prostate cancer. It may help people whose cancer has continued to worsen despite standard prostate cancer medicines.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06661915RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms
This study tests whether adding a new drug called iadademstat to the standard treatment ASTX727 helps people with advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms (blood cancers that cause the bone marrow to make too many cells). The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better than the standard treatment alone.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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+ - NCT03257033RecruitingPhase 3
Gemcitabine through an artery versus by vein after radiation
This study tests whether giving gemcitabine directly into the artery feeding the pancreas (instead of through an IV) works better after you finish radiation therapy. It may help patients by improving how the medicine reaches the tumor while comparing side effects and outcomes between the two delivery methods.

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.
