Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04996875RecruitingPhase 2
Bezuclastinib for advanced mast cell disease
This Phase 2 study tests bezuclastinib, a targeted medicine, in people with advanced systemic mastocytosis (including certain advanced forms with blood cancers). It aims to shrink measurable disease and improve symptoms, while helping people who may also need treatment for an associated blood cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05549297RecruitingPhase 3
Tebentafusp plus choice of treatment for advanced melanoma
This Phase 3 study compares tebentafusp treatment against the doctor’s choice of standard options in people with previously treated advanced melanoma. It aims to see which approach works better for controlling the cancer and improving outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05655949RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo for bile duct cancer
This trial studies whether combining Y-90 liver radiation with an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) and chemo (gemcitabine and cisplatin) can better control locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver). It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth, depending on how well the treatment works for your cancer type and overall health.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05998330Recruiting
Palliative care support for advanced liver disease patients
This study tests whether adding palliative care (extra support for symptoms and planning) during a hospital stay helps people with advanced liver disease and their caregivers feel better and plan ahead.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06064877RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ficlatuzumab plus cetuximab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, ficlatuzumab and cetuximab, for people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer that is HPV-negative and has not responded to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06099769RecruitingPhase 2
Testing enzalutamide with or without mifepristone for AR-positive breast cancer
This trial tests if adding the drug mifepristone to the standard antiandrogen enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone or chemotherapy for people with a specific type of breast cancer that has androgen receptors. It aims to find a new targeted treatment option for triple-negative or ER-low breast cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06118086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of REM-422 for advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma
This trial tests an experimental drug called REM-422 for people with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) that has spread, come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. The study has two parts: an early part for people with advanced ACC and a later part for those with a specific genetic change (MYB biomarker) in their tumor. The goal is to see if REM-422 can slow or stop cancer growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06138561Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment study for older adults
This study looks at how well different treatments work for older adults with bladder cancer that has spread and who cannot take cisplatin. It also checks if geriatric assessments help guide care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06439693RecruitingPhase 2
Sequential therapy for newly diagnosed HER2+ breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a sequence of targeted therapies for people newly diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to find a treatment plan that can potentially cure the cancer.

T-DXd for advanced breast cancer with various HER2 levels
This study looks at how well the drug T-DXd (Enhertu) works against breast cancer that has spread or can't be removed with surgery. It includes patients with any level of HER2 protein, so it might be an option even if your cancer has low HER2.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06682988RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a drug called mirvetuximab soravtansine for people with platinum-resistant ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has high levels of a protein called folate receptor-alpha (FRα). It is given through a vein (IV) and aims to stop cancer from growing.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06850623RecruitingPhase 2
Sound wave therapy plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses sound waves to help chemotherapy reach pancreatic tumors more effectively. It is for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07166406RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with or without targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation (called SBRT) to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the blood vessels or outside the liver. You may be asked to participate in one of two treatment groups to see which approach works better.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07181161RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

What taking part in a advanced or metastatic solid tumors 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.

Common questions
- Are there advanced or metastatic solid tumors clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 384 recruiting advanced or metastatic solid tumors studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a advanced or metastatic solid tumors study in Massachusetts?

- 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 or metastatic solid tumors 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.
