This trial tests whether adding TAS-102 to fruquintinib works better than fruquintinib alone for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04739072Recruiting
Check colorectal cancer blood tests after curative treatment
This study measures “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of cancer that may remain after surgery, using blood samples. It may help doctors better detect who is at higher risk of cancer coming back and guide follow-up care.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07388524RecruitingPhase 3
Testing atezolizumab after surgery for early stage lung cancer
This trial tests if the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab can prevent early stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people whose tumors have high levels of a protein called PD-L1 (50% or more) and do not have certain gene changes (EGFR or ALK).
Brick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 40–75 - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04172532RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New targeted drug with radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests adding peposertib, a targeted anti-cancer drug, to standard radiation for people with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve control of the cancer after initial chemotherapy and determine whether the combo is safe and effective.
Livingston, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06515613RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CTIM-76 for recurrent ovarian and other advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug, CTIM-76, in people whose ovarian, testicular, or endometrial cancer has come back and is not responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04858334RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib after pancreatic cancer surgery for BRCA or PALB2 mutations
This trial studies whether olaparib (a targeted cancer medicine) can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery in people with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations. You would get olaparib or a placebo (inactive pill) and be closely followed to see if recurrence is reduced.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04142437Recruiting
Tracking how larotrectinib works for NTRK fusion cancers in routine care
This study follows people with cancers that have an NTRK gene fusion to learn how safe and effective larotrectinib is during everyday treatment. It may help confirm whether this medicine works well in real-world patients and side effects stay manageable.
Morristown, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT05170919Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Olanzapine vs mirtazapine for weight loss in advanced cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicines olanzapine or mirtazapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight without trying. It looks at improving unintentional weight loss when standard cancer care is also ongoing.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04486833RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Genetic-targeted drug plus gene medicine for EGFR lung cancer
This trial studies a gene-based treatment added to osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has started growing again on osimertinib. It may help by attacking the cancer with both its usual target treatment and an added genetic approach.
Paramus, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04486352RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted therapy trial for recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests targeted drug(s) for endometrial cancer that has come back or never fully went away after prior treatments. You may be eligible if your tumor can be tested for specific biomarkers and your health allows treatment safely.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07562152RecruitingPhase 3
Atebimetinib Plus Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel for New Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—atebimetinib (a new targeted therapy), gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel (two standard chemotherapy drugs)—as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas. The goal is to see if adding atebimetinib helps patients live longer and feel better.
Belleville, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Jersey City, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05874921Recruiting
Registry for adults with UTUC treated with Jelmyto
This registry collects information about adults with upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who received Jelmyto after it was approved. It helps doctors understand outcomes and real-world experience with Jelmyto.

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.
