Summit, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06410300Recruiting
Heart and lung monitoring during lung cancer radiation and immunotherapy
This study monitors how the heart and lungs respond to radiation therapy combined with immunotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to learn how well patients tolerate treatment and to detect early signs of side effects.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07212166Recruiting
Questionnaires for teens and young adults with cancer
This study asks teens and young adults with cancer to fill out questionnaires about their experience. The answers may help improve care and support for people their age.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 15–39 - NCT06593431RecruitingPhase 3
Treating limited spread pancreatic cancer with local therapy
This trial tests whether combining local treatments (like radiation or surgery) with standard care can help people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to only a few spots (oligometastatic disease). The goal is to improve outcomes for this specific group of patients.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT00588185Recruiting
PET scans to track prostate cancer using two tracers

What taking part in a cancer patients 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.
