Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT05271292RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chiauranib for advanced cancers that returned or won’t respond
This Phase 1/2 study tests chiauranib in people with advanced solid cancers (including small cell lung cancer) that have come back or no longer respond to standard treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can help shrink tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 minutes+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy.

This Phase 3 trial tests whether sotorasib plus standard chemotherapy works better than pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus standard chemotherapy as first treatment for certain advanced lung cancers. It may help people whose tumors have a KRAS G12C mutation and that do not show PD-L1 on testing.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT07527858RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Denikitug with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called denikitug, given alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for patients with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to previous treatments.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06982521RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combinations for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two different combinations of medicines for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has a specific gene change called PIK3CA. The goal is to see which combination is better at slowing down the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06899126RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a drug combo for first-line HER2-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (trastuzumab deruxtecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy) as a first treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of the HER2 protein. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04928846RecruitingPhase 3
Telisotuzumab vedotin vs docetaxel for advanced non-squamous lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug (telisotuzumab vedotin) against the standard chemotherapy docetaxel in people with a certain type of non-squamous lung cancer that has high levels of a protein called c-Met. It may offer a new treatment option for those whose cancer has progressed after initial therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06901531RecruitingPhase 3
Study of zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemo for gastric cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (zolbetuximab, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It may be an option if your tumor has certain proteins (CLDN18.2 and PD-L1) and you haven't had chemotherapy for advanced disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05508906RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug OP-1250 with other medicines in ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 1b study tests OP-1250 (palazestrant) combined with other targeted medicines for ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It mainly looks at safety and correct dosing, but may also help shrink tumors or slow growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06150664RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CTX-8371 for advanced cancers no longer helped by standard therapy
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-8371 for people with advanced cancers (melanoma, head and neck, lung, triple-negative breast, or Hodgkin lymphoma) that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. It is a first-in-human study, meaning doctors are learning if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06758401RecruitingPhase 3
Sigvotatug vedotin plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new combination of two study medicines for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of PD-L1 protein. The goal is to see if adding sigvotatug vedotin to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone.

What taking part in a advanced lung 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.

- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a advanced lung cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
