Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted cancer drug study for RAS/RAF mutation-positive tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests S241656 (a targeted cancer medicine) in people whose cancers have certain “RAS/RAF” gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth, and also finds the safest dose and best way to use the drug.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03550391RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-like brain radiation vs avoiding the memory center
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the brain for people with 5 or more brain metastases: focused stereotactic radiosurgery, or a whole-brain approach that tries to spare the memory area (with memantine). It aims to see which method better protects thinking and memory while still treating the tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug called IAM1363 for people with HER2-altered cancers that have stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works against these cancers.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136884RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AO-252 for advanced solid tumors with or without brain metastases
This trial tests an experimental oral pill (AO-252) that targets a protein called TACC3 in advanced solid tumors, including those that have spread to the brain. It is for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change (TP53 mutation) or who have prostate cancer, and who have already tried other treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05124912Recruiting
Laser treatment for recurrent brain metastases after prior SRS
This study tests whether repeating treatment with a laser (along with a small biopsy) can control brain metastases that have come back after earlier radiation called SRS. It may help people whose cancer is stable enough for surgery and who have a specific, reachable brain spot to target.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06764940RecruitingPhase 2
Utidelone and capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests if the combination of Utidelone and capecitabine can shrink brain metastases in people with HER2-negative breast cancer. It is designed for those whose cancer has spread to the brain and who have not had many prior treatments.

What taking part in a brain metastases 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.
