- NCT04031677RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery with or without chemotherapy for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05193305Recruiting

AAA817 with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment (AAA817 plus a hormone therapy) against standard care for men with advanced PSMA-positive prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to a previous hormone therapy. It may be an option if you haven't had certain prior treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer

Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03899155RecruitingPhase 2
Study for continuing or restarting cancer treatment that worked before

Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06982521RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combinations for advanced breast cancer

Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07424222RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib for a serious immune reaction after CAR T therapy
This trial tests a drug called ruxolitinib for a rare but serious condition called IEC-HS that can happen after CAR T cell treatment. The goal is to see if ruxolitinib can calm this overactive immune response.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06380751RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted therapy for BRCA/PALB2-mutated HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies (saruparib plus camizestrant or hormone therapy) against standard treatments for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It may be a good option if you have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutation and have not yet had treatment for your advanced disease.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07284849RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding an experimental drug (INCA33890) to standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab helps people with a certain type of advanced colorectal cancer. It is for those whose cancer has spread and has not been treated yet with systemic therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06072781RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Avutometinib + Defactinib for recurrent low-grade ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral targeted drugs for people with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this therapy works better than standard hormone therapy or chemotherapy options.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05696626RecruitingPhase 3
Test a new pill plus abemaciclib versus standard therapy
This Phase 3 study compares lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has an ESR1 mutation. It looks for better tumor control in people whose cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) and who meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04376229Recruiting
Proton radiation registry for people treated at the center
This study keeps a record of patients who receive proton radiation therapy at a specific center. It may help doctors learn how this treatment is used and how patients do over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06312124Recruiting
Fallopian tube removal to prevent ovarian cancer
This study looks at removing fallopian tubes during other planned surgeries to help prevent ovarian cancer. You may be able to join if you are at least 45 years old, are female or assigned female at birth, and are having non-gynecologic surgery (like gallbladder or hernia repair).

HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04628767RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. It compares different treatment approaches based on whether a patient can receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06315257RecruitingPhase 1
PVX7 vaccine for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy vaccine called PVX7 for women with advanced cervical cancer that is caused by HPV. It aims to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back after standard treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04232085RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant to rebuild immunity in genetic immune disorders
This Phase 2 trial tests a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant approach to restore bone marrow function and immune function in people with certain inherited immune problems. If you have one of these conditions and a suitable donor, the study may offer a path to rebuild blood and immune systems.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 4 months–50 years - NCT07419295RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is for people with advanced bladder cancer (urothelial cancer) that has spread or can't be removed. It tests a new drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan against standard chemotherapy options to see if it works better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 2–21 - NCT02474160Recruiting
Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 2 months+ - NCT06410209RecruitingPhase 2
Walking Juntos: Smartphone program to help Hispanic cancer survivors be active
This study will test if a smartphone program and social media group can help Hispanic/Latino teens and young adults who had childhood cancer become more physically active. You would wear a Fitbit and use a phone app with culturally tailored tips and support.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 15–20 - NCT05697406RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Uses MRI to study tumors in people with cancer

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.
