Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 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.
Van Nuys, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06388967Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer detection study
This study is looking at blood or tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer and from those without it. The goal is to find ways to detect the cancer earlier.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342440Recruiting

This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06314958Recruiting
Follow-up after colorectal cancer treatment
This study follows people who have finished treatment for stage II (high-risk) or stage III colorectal cancer and are now cancer-free. Researchers want to learn more about which factors might predict if the cancer will come back, so they can better personalize follow-up care.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06708429Recruiting
Lynch syndrome and gut immune system study
This study looks at how the immune system interacts with the gut lining in people with Lynch syndrome and those without. It may help us better understand how Lynch syndrome affects the body.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401421Recruiting
Blood test for tumor DNA after breast cancer chemo
This study tests a new blood test to see if it can find tiny bits of tumor DNA after chemotherapy. If you have a larger or higher-risk breast cancer and are getting chemotherapy before surgery, you may join. The test could help doctors know if your cancer is gone or if more treatment is needed.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07028489Recruiting
Studying a standard-care comparison group for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial collects information from people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer to create a comparison group. It helps researchers understand how well new treatments work without giving any experimental medicine.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06959641RecruitingPhase 2
XL092 for advanced thyroid cancer that no longer responds to radioactive iodine

Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217301RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing TAK-928 to docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new drug called TAK-928 against the standard chemo docetaxel for people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. You may be able to join if you have already tried a checkpoint inhibitor and platinum chemotherapy, and your cancer has grown.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05181826Recruiting
Blood collection study for cancer and benign diseases
This study collects blood samples from people with different health conditions (cancer, diabetes, liver disease, etc.) and from healthy volunteers. The goal is to find markers in the blood that could help detect or monitor diseases.
Redondo Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04315324RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug OBI-3424 for relapsed T-cell blood cancer
This trial tests OBI-3424, an investigational medicine, in adults and children with relapsed or hard-to-treat T-cell acute leukemia or certain T-cell lymphoma. It may help by shrinking cancer when standard treatments have not worked.

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.
