Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT05422911RecruitingPhase 2
Abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide for early castration prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide can work better (or differently) in men with prostate cancer that is considered “castration-sensitive.” It compares these hormone-blocking treatments to find an approach that controls the cancer more effectively and safely.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05417867Recruiting
Tracking gut bacteria changes and nausea during chemo
This study looks at how changes in the gut “microbiome” (your gut bacteria) relate to fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea in people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand why nausea and fatigue happen and how to predict or manage them during treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 20 years+ - NCT05363280RecruitingPhase 2
Second-treatment study for lung or kidney cancer after initial therapy
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment for people with small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or kidney cancer after they have finished their first main treatment. It may help shrink tumors or control the cancer further.
Weston, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05361174RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an IOV-4001 infusion for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial studies how well and how safely an infusion called IOV-4001 works in adults with advanced melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It also aims to see what side effects occur and whether the treatment can help control the cancer.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Pembroke Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05316129RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of your own engineered T cells for ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether giving your own immune cells—engineered to target the FSH receptor—can control recurrent ovarian-related cancers. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of activity for patients whose cancer has not responded well to standard platinum chemotherapy.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05307939RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor DNA tests to time treatment for HPV throat cancer
This study checks a blood test that looks for HPV tumor DNA to help doctors decide when to start routine treatment after surgery. It may help some people avoid starting treatment too early or too late based on how the test changes after the operation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05267626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Celebration, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04893109RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two HER2 breast cancer treatments after surgery
This Phase 2 study tests two different medicines given after breast surgery to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. It is only for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer with limited or no lymph node spread.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04606446RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative cancers after treatment
This Phase 2 study tests a new Pfizer medicine (PF-07248144) for certain advanced or metastatic breast, prostate, or lung cancers that have not responded to standard treatment or no standard options exist. You may qualify if you have a specific tumor type and a limited number of prior cancer treatments, and if your body functions (blood, liver, kidneys) and heart rhythm meet safety limits.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585958RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for HER2-positive cancers and resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, DS-8201a and olaparib, for people with cancers that have a protein called HER2, and for those with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
Doral, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04510597RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus surgery versus immunotherapy alone for kidney cancer
This study tests whether adding surgery to remove the kidney improves outcomes compared with continuing immunotherapy without surgery. It is for people with metastatic kidney cancer whose disease has not worsened after initial immunotherapy.
Altamonte Springs, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Wesley Chapel, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04468061RecruitingPhase 2
Study chemo drug plus immunotherapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests sacituzumab govitecan (an antibody-drug medicine) with or without pembrolizumab (an immune-system therapy) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors and improving immune control, especially for patients with specific tumor marker results.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04410796RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib alone or with chemo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether osimertinib alone is as good as osimertinib plus chemotherapy for lung cancers that have a specific EGFR mutation. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds and slows growth in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04421820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BOLD-100 with chemo for advanced gut cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether BOLD-100, given with the standard chemo combination FOLFOX, can help people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers. It’s especially focused on specific tumor features (including BRAF status) and checks safety, dosing, and early signs of effectiveness.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04360330Recruiting
MRI study in early breast cancer with specific lab markers
This study tests selected treatment decisions for women with early-stage breast cancer that has certain lab test results. It may help researchers better match care using MRI and tumor marker information.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT04333706RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sarilumab plus capecitabine for certain breast cancers
This trial studies whether adding sarilumab to capecitabine can shrink or control metastatic or high-risk breast cancer that lacks HER2 and is either triple-negative or hormone-resistant. It aims to find a safe dose first, then look at how well the treatment works compared with historical results.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT04084730RecruitingPhase 2
3-day radiation after breast-conserving surgery for certain breast cancers
This trial tests whether a shorter, 3-day course of partial breast radiation after surgery works as well as standard radiation for women with early-stage breast cancer. It may help reduce time in treatment while aiming to keep cancer from coming back in the treated breast area.

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.
