Testing VT3989 for certain advanced cancers
This early-stage trial tests VT3989 in people with specific advanced (metastatic or unresectable) cancers. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in patients who fit the genetic or diagnosis-specific requirements.
Arlington, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04196257RecruitingPhase 1
Early-dose trial of BP1001-A for advanced or recurrent solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies BP1001-A in people with advanced or recurring solid cancers to find a safe dose and learn how the treatment works. You may be asked for tumor biopsies before and possibly after treatment to see how the cancer responds.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges Any age - NCT06890338RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin and mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin) and a targeted drug (mirvetuximab soravtansine) given through a vein. It is for people with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has a specific protein called folate receptor alpha (FRα) on at least 75% of tumor cells.

What taking part in a advanced solid tumor 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

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.
