This trial tests whether bicalutamide can help men with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (an early form that hasn’t spread into muscle). It is a Phase 1 study, meaning the main goal is to see how safe it is and learn how it behaves in the body for this cancer type.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05286814RecruitingPhase 2
Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05361811Recruiting
Therapy coaching for parents of children with rare genetic syndromes
This trial tests an “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy” program for parents or legal guardians who feel moderate parenting stress. It aims to help caregivers cope in healthier ways and may also improve how they manage stress while supporting their child.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00923065Enrolling by invitation
NCI care and data study for patients and donors
This study helps collect information and provide certain clinical care and interventions for people who come to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Clinical Center (CCR). It may be a fit if you need NCI-level evaluation or support because your condition is complex, or if you’re involved as a cellular therapy donor or certain family members needing genetic testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–120 years - NCT00923026Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for adults previously treated in NCI surgery studies
This study asks people age 18+ who were previously treated on certain NCI Surgery Branch (NCI-SB) studies to come back for follow-up. It helps researchers understand how patients do over time after those earlier treatments, including some gene therapy studies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01676805Recruiting
Collecting tissue samples for lymphoma research
This study collects leftover tissue samples from patients with or without lymphoma to help researchers better understand lymph system cancers. It may be an option if you are already having a biopsy or surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02759744Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for certain prostate tumors guided by MRI images
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06096870RecruitingPhase 2
Enzalutamide with a new drug for prostate cancer that is active on PET scan
This trial tests a combination of enzalutamide (a hormone blocker) and an investigational antibody-drug (PDS01ADC) in men whose prostate cancer has come back after initial treatment, but has not yet spread extensively. It does not involve standard hormone therapy that lowers testosterone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01443468Recruiting
Study of Li-Fraumeni syndrome family cancer risk
This study collects medical and genetic information to better understand how often cancer develops in people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and related family risks. It may help families and doctors plan earlier awareness and follow-up over a person’s lifetime.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT04185935Recruiting
Genetic study of cancer in patients and their families
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT02315599Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for delayed side effects after gene-cell therapy
This study checks people for delayed side effects after receiving gene-based cell therapy from the NIH. It helps doctors learn what problems may happen later and how to monitor them safely.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–99 - NCT02821806Recruiting
Donate blood cells to help grow immune cells for therapy
This is a study that recruits healthy adults to donate a type of blood cell (PBMCs) so researchers can grow T cells for future adoptive cell therapy. It tests a process for collecting and expanding immune cells; participation mainly involves blood donation and health screening.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02682667Recruiting
Providing blood samples for cancer immunotherapy research
This study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06149481RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STAR15 immunotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (SX-682, TriAdeno vaccine, retifanlimab, and N-803) to see if they can help people with colorectal cancer that has spread. It may be an option if you have already tried at least two standard treatments or cannot take them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05686226RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests immune cells targeting HPV-16 cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (E7 TCR T cells) designed to attack cancers caused by HPV type 16. It may help people whose HPV-16+ cancer has come back or not responded to standard treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05687149Recruiting
Study of mouth and throat cancer patterns in Fanconi anemia
This study looks at how squamous cell carcinoma (a type of cancer) naturally develops over time in people with Fanconi anemia. It may help doctors better recognize warning signs and plan care in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–90 - NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers

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.
