Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before.

This registry collects medical images and health information from patients with liver cancer or liver metastases who had a procedure to block certain liver veins (PVE/HVE). The goal is to learn more about this technique and help future patients.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07705919RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MRI scans to monitor borderline resectable pancreatic cancer treatment
This study uses MRI scans to see how well chemotherapy and radiation work in people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer – a type where surgery might be possible but is risky. The goal is to find the best way to measure tumor response so doctors can make better treatment decisions.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07680790RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination for advanced egfr lung cancer
This study tests a new drug (izalontamab brengitecan) combined with a standard targeted therapy (osimertinib) compared to standard treatments alone for advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the combination works better.
Sandusky, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07680439RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T cell therapy study for children with DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy (BCB-276) for children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called DIPG. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–26 - NCT07619391Recruiting
MyCap App: Tracking Treatment Time Burden in Pancreatic Cancer
This study asks pancreatic cancer patients to use a smartphone app called MyCap that tracks how much time their cancer treatment takes—like travel to appointments, time in the clinic, and side effects. Researchers want to understand the full burden of treatment to help doctors and future patients plan better.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07584239Recruiting
Physical therapy and relaxation before lung cancer surgery

Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07546500RecruitingPhase 3
Azenosertib versus chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called azenosertib against standard chemotherapy for ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has come back after platinum-based treatment. The drug targets a specific protein (cyclin E1) found in some tumors and may help stop cancer cells from dividing.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07544654RecruitingPhase 3
Study comparing obrixtamig plus chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer
This trial tests a new drug called obrixtamig combined with standard chemotherapy for advanced neuroendocrine cancer (a rare type of cancer). You'd receive one cycle of standard chemotherapy first, then be randomly assigned to either continue with the new drug plus chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy alone.

Study of DISP-10 for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests a new treatment called DISP-10 for people with advanced cancers of the digestive system, such as stomach, colon, or bile duct cancers. It aims to see if DISP-10 is safe and effective.

Wearable Sensors to Track Health in Cancer Trials
This study tests whether patients in early-phase cancer trials can comfortably use smartwatches and phone apps to track their health and report how they're feeling. The goal is to see if these tools can help doctors better understand how cancer treatments affect daily life.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07493512RecruitingPhase 1
Study of xaluritamig for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called xaluritamig for men with metastatic prostate cancer that is resistant to hormone therapy. It is designed for those who have already tried certain hormone pills and one type of chemotherapy, and aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.

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 Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 792 recruiting cancer studies with a site in Ohio, 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 Ohio?
- 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 Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, 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 Ohio 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.
