Baltimore, MarylandAges 30 years+ - NCT06637423RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of sacituzumab tirumotecan for low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan for people with low-grade bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the bladder muscle. The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03053193Recruiting
Testing gene activity to guide breast cancer treatment
This study links breast tumor test results from MammaPrint and optional BluePrint (and full genetic data) with real-world clinical information to understand which new gene activity patterns matter. It may help future patients by improving how doctors use these tests to guide care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06997497RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Calderasib with other drugs for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Calderasib combined with targeted therapy or chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12C mutation). It may be an option for those who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.

Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06998940RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without panitumumab for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug called panitumumab to standard chemotherapy can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for patients whose tumors do not have a KRAS mutation and who have already had one line of chemotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06651580Recruiting
Gene study for kids with pancreas problems
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 17 years - NCT06655246RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib and imatinib for advanced GIST
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, combined with imatinib for people with advanced or spreading gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that have a KIT mutation. It may help if your GIST has gotten worse while on imatinib.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05172245RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug added to chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether adding a new targeted drug called ipatasertib to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for people with locally advanced head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib may help block a protein that helps cancer grow, possibly making the standard therapy more effective.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04995198Recruiting
Prostate cancer patient registry for genetics and treatment outcomes
This registry collects information from people with prostate cancer to better understand how genetics and treatments affect survival and outcomes. Your data may help researchers improve future treatment choices.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06661720RecruitingPhase 3
Tivozanib and pembrolizumab after kidney cancer surgery
This trial is testing if adding the targeted therapy tivozanib to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help prevent kidney cancer from coming back after all known tumors have been removed by surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04251052Recruiting
Compare two surgeries to lower ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers
This study compares two risk-reducing surgery plans for people with a BRCA1 genetic change to see which approach helps lower ovarian cancer risk. You may be asked to have the study procedure sooner or later depending on your chosen plan.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 35–50 - NCT05098132RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STK-012 drug for advanced lung cancer and other tumors
This trial tests STK-012 (alone and with other treatments) in people with advanced cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by activating the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04363164RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone then enzalutamide to stop prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving testosterone first, then enzalutamide (a prostate cancer hormone-blocking pill), can slow or prevent worsening metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for men whose cancer progressed despite ongoing hormone-suppression treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT05171478Recruiting
Test imaging on small lung biopsy samples during bronchoscopy
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06385080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of amivantamab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a drug called amivantamab, either alone or with other treatments, for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or control the cancer.

RBS2418 for advanced cancers after standard treatments
This early-phase study tests RBS2418 in people with advanced, metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or help control disease, and to learn what doses are safest.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05317858RecruitingPhase 3
Open the brain’s blood barrier to treat lung cancer brain spots
This trial tests whether using focused ultrasound to temporarily open the brain’s blood barrier—plus standard immune therapy—can better treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. It aims to help medicines reach the brain tumor spots more effectively, while still using the usual lung cancer treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04616560RecruitingPhase 2

What taking part in a cancer 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.
