Recruiting studies in New Jersey
- NCT05950945RecruitingPhase 3
Trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted antibody-drug medicine (trastuzumab deruxtecan, T-DXd) in people with metastatic breast cancer that is HER2-low or HER2 IHC 0. It may help by treating tumors that haven’t previously received anti-HER2 treatment in the metastatic setting.
Summit, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a liver pump with standard chemo for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests whether adding a special chemotherapy pump implanted in your liver (hepatic arterial infusion) to standard chemotherapy works better than standard chemotherapy alone for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. The pump delivers high doses of chemo directly to the liver to shrink tumors and possibly control the disease longer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06305728Recruiting
New MRI scan and blood tests to find early signs of pancreatic cancer in people with IPMN
This study tests a special MRI scan and blood tests to see if they can detect early pancreatic cancer in people with high-risk pancreatic cysts called IPMNs. It may help identify cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to work.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03937635RecruitingPhase 3
Lenalidomide and dexamethasone, with or without daratumumab
This phase 3 trial studies whether lenalidomide plus dexamethasone can prevent or delay progression of “high-risk smoldering” multiple myeloma, and whether adding daratumumab improves outcomes. It’s meant for people who are not yet showing symptoms, but whose lab and scan results suggest higher risk.
Voorhees Township, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07711002RecruitingPhase 3
Saruparib with standard therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called saruparib, which may help keep prostate cancer from growing. It is for men whose cancer has spread and who have already received certain treatments. The study combines saruparib with a standard hormone therapy to see if it works better than the hormone therapy alone.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05554393RecruitingPhase 2
Treating intermediate-risk AML in younger adults
This trial compares three different drug combinations for younger adults (18-59) with intermediate-risk AML. You will be assigned to one of three groups: standard chemotherapy (cytarabine + daunorubicin), that same chemotherapy plus venetoclax, or venetoclax combined with azacitidine.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–59 - NCT04332874RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with local limb chemotherapy for sarcoma in arms or legs
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab along with chemotherapy delivered directly into an arm or leg (isolated limb infusion) can shrink sarcoma tumors. It is for people with advanced or metastatic sarcoma in an arm or leg who can safely have this local treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 12 years+ - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Sewell, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06647953RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a standard approach for pleuropulmonary blastoma, with or without topotecan
This trial compares a standard surgery and chemotherapy plan for type I pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) to adding the drug topotecan for types II and III PPB. The goal is to see if the extra drug helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes for children with more advanced disease.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges Up to 21 years - NCT04269902RecruitingPhase 3
Early treatment check for high-risk CLL/SLL
This Phase 3 trial studies an early treatment approach for people with high-risk CLL or SLL who have not yet needed standard therapy. It aims to see if treating earlier can improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04566328RecruitingPhase 3
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma test of combination therapy
This Phase 3 trial tests a combination treatment approach for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, focusing on response and deeper remission. It may help by improving how well the disease is controlled early and measuring results beyond standard tests.
Cherry Hill, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04166409RecruitingPhase 3
Selumetinib versus chemo for low-grade brain tumor in children
This trial studies whether the targeted drug selumetinib works better than standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade glioma (grade 1 or 2). It may help shrink tumors and slow growth while comparing side effects between the two treatment approaches.
Morristown, New JerseyAges 2–21 - NCT04546399RecruitingPhase 2
Blinatumomab with or without nivolumab for first relapse ALL
This study compares blinatumomab alone versus blinatumomab plus nivolumab in young people whose B-cell ALL has returned for the first time. It aims to see whether adding nivolumab improves control of the leukemia after relapse.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 1–30 - NCT05886036RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing rituximab vs mosunetuzumab for NLPHL
This trial compares two immunotherapy drugs, rituximab and mosunetuzumab, to see which works better for people with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) who need treatment. It's for both newly diagnosed and previously treated patients.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06422806RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo for aggressive sarcoma
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07605416RecruitingPhase 2
Testing New Drug Combination for Plasma Cell Leukemia
This study tests a new combination of medicines to treat plasma cell leukemia, a rare blood cancer. The trial aims to help patients newly diagnosed with this condition by using drugs that work against cancer cells in different ways.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18–80 - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Sparta, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–59 - NCT04512716RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioimmunotherapy then CD19 CAR T for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This early-phase study tests a two-step treatment: first a targeted radioactive antibody (131-I apamistamab) and then CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is not responding or has come back, aiming to shrink cancer using engineered immune cells.

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.
