Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–65 - NCT06124157RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo for children with Ph+ or Ph-like B-ALL
This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (dasatinib or imatinib) to a chemotherapy combination with blinatumomab works better for children and young adults with a specific genetic form of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive or ABL-class Ph-like B-ALL.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1 year–46 years - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06119581RecruitingPhase 3
Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (olomorasib) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and possibly chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been treated before.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06090669RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of imatinib for people with RUNX1 deficiency
This trial tests if imatinib can help people with a genetic condition called RUNX1 deficiency, which causes bleeding problems. It aims to increase the activity of the RUNX1 gene to improve blood clotting.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06103838RecruitingPhase 2
Fluciclovine PET/CT scan for multiple myeloma
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using fluciclovine, a radioactive tracer) can more clearly see multiple myeloma in the body. It may help doctors evaluate the extent of the disease and guide treatment decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06064097RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo for young people with nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests combining the immunotherapy drug nivolumab with standard chemotherapy to treat newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer in children and young adults. The goal is to see if adding this immune-boosting medicine can help shrink tumors and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 21 years - NCT06041503RecruitingPhase 2
Treating rare bladder and testicular cancers with targeted therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) for people with certain rare cancers of the urinary tract or testicles. The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06041516RecruitingPhase 1
New drug ADCT-701 for neuroendocrine and nerve tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ADCT-701 for people with certain rare cancers (neuroendocrine tumors, adrenal cancer, or a type of nerve tumor) that have come back or spread. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, which works like a targeted missile to kill cancer cells while trying to spare healthy ones.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06052618RecruitingPhase 2
Pacritinib for KSHV-associated Castleman disease and KICS
This study tests a drug called pacritinib for people with KSHV-associated multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) or KSHV-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS). It aims to see if the drug can help control symptoms and inflammation caused by these conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05792722Recruiting
Testing a prostate-sparing bladder surgery for bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06022939RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemo plus stem cell transplant to chemo alone for AL amyloidosis
This study tests whether adding a stem cell transplant to standard chemotherapy (Dara-VCD) works better than chemotherapy alone for people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis. It aims to find the best way to control the disease and improve outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06027086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug therapy for advanced fibrolamellar carcinoma
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs—DRP-104 and durvalumab—to see if they can shrink or slow advanced fibrolamellar carcinoma, a rare liver cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has gotten worse even after immunotherapy treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT05950139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine to help stop lung cancer drug resistance
This early-phase study tests a personalized peptide vaccine designed to help prevent advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer from developing resistance to current targeted medicines. If you are stable on an ALK drug and don’t already have the specific resistance changes the vaccine targets, it may help your cancer stay controlled longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05939414RecruitingPhase 3
Study of radioactive drug for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This study tests a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) compared to no immediate treatment in men with prostate cancer that has returned and spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It aims to see if this treatment delays the spread of cancer and improves outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05886049RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a menin drug with standard chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This early-phase study tests a menin inhibitor drug (SNDX-5613) combined with standard induction chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) in newly diagnosed AML with specific gene changes (NPM1 or FLT3 status, or MLL/KMT2A or NUP98). It may help patients whose AML has these genetic features respond better to intensive treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT05907759RecruitingPhase 2
Daratumumab for HIV-related lymphomas and Castleman disease
This trial tests a drug called daratumumab for people with certain HIV-related blood cancers (primary effusion lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma) or a related condition called multicentric Castleman disease that has come back or not improved after standard treatment. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to help the immune system attack them. It might be a new option when standard chemotherapy isn't working or isn't suitable.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05855200RecruitingPhase 3
Dostarlimab around surgery for certain untreated colon cancers
This trial studies dostarlimab given around the time of colon cancer surgery for people with untreated, resectable (operable) stage T4N0 or stage III colon cancer that has specific tumor markers. It may help shrink or eliminate the cancer before or after surgery by boosting the immune response.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05828069RecruitingPhase 2
Tovorafenib for young people with worsening Langerhans cell histiocytosis
This Phase 2 trial tests tovorafenib (DAY101) to treat children and young people whose Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is getting worse, came back, or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by targeting certain gene changes found in the LCH.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 6 months–22 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 - NCT04248569RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for a specific liver cancer gene change
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized peptide vaccine (targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion) combined with immunotherapy drugs to treat fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) or other eligible non-FLC cancers with the same gene fusion. It aims to see whether this immune-based treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes safely.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior 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.
