Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06850623RecruitingPhase 2

Media, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Altoona, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07544654RecruitingPhase 3
Study comparing obrixtamig plus chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer
This trial tests a new drug called obrixtamig combined with standard chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer (a rare type of cancer).

Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06467357RecruitingPhase 3
A study of T-DXd and rilvegostomig for HER2-positive bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (T-DXd and rilvegostomig) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has not been treated before. The cancer must have high levels of a protein called HER2. This study compares the new drugs to standard treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–99 - NCT07472517RecruitingPhase 3
Obrixtamig plus standard therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, obrixtamig, to the usual first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer can help people live longer or slow the cancer's growth. The usual treatment is a combination of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide.

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.
