Recruiting studies near Cleveland
- NCT06386887Recruiting
Fasting During Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer
This trial tests whether adding periods of fasting to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps people with advanced ovarian cancer. It is for those receiving platinum-based chemo for the first time or after recurrence.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03899155RecruitingPhase 2
Study for continuing or restarting cancer treatment that worked before
This trial lets people who were already in a related “parent” study either keep taking treatment or restart it after it had stopped working for a while. It’s meant for people who previously had a meaningful response and may still benefit from continued treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04302025RecruitingPhase 2
Testing targeted and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether giving different cancer medicines before (and sometimes after) surgery improves outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer that has certain tumor markers. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer early and lower the chance it comes back.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06746623Recruiting
Non-endoscopic screening for Barrett's in veterans without reflux
This trial tests a new, non-endoscopic screening method for Barrett's esophagus (a condition that can lead to cancer) in veterans who do not have chronic acid reflux. It aims to find early signs of the condition using a simple swallowable device, potentially avoiding the need for a traditional endoscopy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40–85 - 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 2–21 - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer

Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04332341RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nicotinamide riboside during bone marrow transplant
This trial studies whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a vitamin-like product) can be given safely during allogeneic bone marrow transplant. It may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects recovery for people getting a donor transplant.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04879329RecruitingPhase 2
Study for HER2-positive bladder cancer after limited treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests disitamab vedotin alone or with pembrolizumab for urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer that has HER2-positive tumors. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes, including for people who have had limited prior treatment or specific prior drug exposures.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05974150Recruiting
Remote symptom monitoring for several blood and cancer types
This study checks how well remote (at-home) symptom check-ins work for people with certain cancers. It may help patients and clinicians spot problems earlier and improve day-to-day care during treatment and beyond.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06745908RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for lung cancer after immunotherapy stops working
This trial tests a new drug combination (N-803 and tislelizumab with chemotherapy) for people whose lung cancer stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–90 - 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–59 - NCT04939051RecruitingPhase 2
Obeticholic acid to prevent Barrett’s esophagus worsening
This Phase 2 trial tests whether obeticholic acid (a medicine) can help stop Barrett’s esophagus from getting worse. You must already be taking acid-suppressing medicine and have non-cancer Barrett’s changes, and the study checks safety and whether the lining improves or stays stable.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04575935RecruitingPhase 3
Minimally invasive surgery after chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05103683RecruitingPhase 1
First-time test of TORL-1-23 for advanced solid tumors

Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic (RNA) testing of kidney cancer tissue to help choose the best drug treatment. It may help guide therapy for people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who are starting treatment for the first time.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07002034RecruitingPhase 2
RE104 for adjustment disorder related to cancer or other serious illnesses

Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06513962RecruitingPhase 3
Triptorelin to protect ovaries in young women with cancer

If you are newly diagnosed with a cancer (other than breast cancer) and are about to get certain chemotherapy drugs, this trial may help preserve your fertility.
Cleveland, OhioAges Up to 39 years - NCT05337631Recruiting
Care patterns for older people receiving head and neck radiation

Cleveland, OhioAges 65 years+ - NCT06385080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of amivantamab for head and neck cancer

Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07003542RecruitingPhase 2
Sitagliptin for people with high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests whether sitagliptin, a medicine usually used for diabetes, can help people with a fast-growing type of brain tumor (grade 4 glioma). You will take sitagliptin before your planned surgery, and researchers will study how it affects your tumor.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06435429RecruitingPhase 3
Zanidatamab vs trastuzumab for HER2+ breast cancer
This study compares a new drug called zanidatamab against trastuzumab (Herceptin), both given with a chemotherapy of your doctor's choice. It is for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread and who have already tried T-DXd treatment.

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.
