Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT00040352Recruiting
Melanoma risk in families and individuals
This study looks at people and families with a high risk of melanoma, especially if it runs in the family or is linked to certain genetic conditions. The goal is to better understand what causes melanoma and how to detect it earlier.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–99 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+ - NCT01212055Recruiting
Apheresis for certain immune system gene problems
This trial studies whether an apheresis procedure (removing blood cells through a machine) can help people with specific inherited immune system conditions. Participants will also receive filgrastim to help move certain blood-forming cells for collection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–40 - NCT00092235Recruiting
Understanding chronic graft-versus-host disease outcomes
This study follows patients who have had a stem cell transplant and developed chronic graft-versus-host disease (a condition where transplanted cells attack the body). Researchers will track your symptoms and collect blood samples to understand what affects how well patients do over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120 - NCT00804154RecruitingPhase 1
Capsaicin-like drug for severe cancer pain
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug related to capsaicin (resiniferatoxin) to reduce severe nerve pain from advanced cancer. It is given through a small catheter near the spinal fluid space and is meant for people whose pain medicines and other options have not worked well enough.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT01005654Recruiting
Molecular testing for endocrine tumor diagnoses
This study collects and analyzes molecular (cell/DNA-level) information from endocrine tumors or pre-cancer conditions. It may help doctors better understand these tumors and improve diagnosis and treatment planning when you need surgery or a biopsy.

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.

Common questions
- Are there cancer clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 702 recruiting cancer studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cancer study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New cancer studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
