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.

Study of AZD4956 for advanced solid tumors with DNA repair problems
This trial tests a new drug called AZD4956, alone or with other cancer medicines, for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain DNA repair problems (called homologous recombination deficiency). It may be an option if you have breast, ovarian, prostate, or pancreatic cancer with a specific gene change, and you have or haven't had previous PARP inhibitor treatment.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18–130 - NCT06112314RecruitingPhase 3
New immunotherapy combo for advanced melanoma (first treatment)
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (IMC-F106C) combined with standard treatments against the usual nivolumab-based therapy for people with advanced melanoma who have not been treated before.

New targeted therapy for BRCA/PALB2-mutated HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies (saruparib plus camizestrant or hormone therapy) against standard treatments for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It may be a good option if you have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutation and have not yet had treatment for your advanced disease.
Norfolk, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06129864RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Volrustomig for advanced head and neck cancer after chemoradiation
This trial tests a new drug called volrustomig (MEDI5752) for people with advanced head and neck cancer that was not removed by surgery and has been treated with chemoradiation. The goal is to see if the drug can help prevent the cancer from coming back.

Ablation treatment plus usual therapy for limited metastatic bowel cancer
This study tests whether adding “total ablation” (carefully destroying all visible small tumors using surgery, heat/cold treatment, and/or targeted radiation) to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with limited spread of colorectal cancer. It may help by aiming to eliminate all known metastatic spots while you continue usual cancer treatment.
Mechanicsville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has already spread beyond the pelvis. It tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to the usual hormone therapy plus apalutamide can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
Fredericksburg, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04172532RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New targeted drug with radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.

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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06472661RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Focused ultrasound plus drug injection for melanoma before surgery
This trial tests a new combination approach for advanced melanoma that is planned for surgical removal. It uses focused ultrasound to heat the tumor, followed by an injection of an experimental immune-stimulating drug (polyICLC), while you continue your standard immunotherapy. The goal is to make the immune system attack the cancer more effectively.

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.
