Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT07104630RecruitingPhase 2
Pulmonary rehab for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a pulmonary rehabilitation program—special exercises and breathing training—to help people with advanced lung cancer feel less short of breath and improve their daily function and quality of life.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06120283RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BGB-43395 alone or with other drugs for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called BGB-43395 alone or with other treatments for advanced solid tumors, especially breast cancer. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well it works. It may be an option if your cancer has not responded to other treatments.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05929768RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter chemo plus immunotherapy without anthracyclines for early TNBC
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy can work as well as standard treatment for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It avoids anthracycline drugs and may help reduce exposure to those medicines if the shorter plan is effective and safe.
Alliance, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05735080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
INX-315 for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial studies an experimental medicine (INX-315) given in an “open-label” way to people with advanced cancer that has not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and side effects first, and also checks how well it works in cancers with a specific gene amplification.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Centerville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05051722Recruiting
Test DNA blood and tissue markers to detect gynecologic cancers
This study looks for “methylated DNA markers” (special DNA patterns) to help detect endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers, and to support doctors around planned procedures. It may help find cancer earlier or better sort out who needs closer treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04787744RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test standard prostate cancer treatment with or without targeted spot radiation
This study tests whether adding targeted local treatment (like radiation to a few spots seen on scans) improves outcomes for some people with limited (oligometastatic) prostate cancer. It compares standard systemic therapy alone versus standard therapy plus PET-scan–guided spot treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07824583Recruiting
New radiation treatment for chest and upper abdomen tumors

Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT07444814RecruitingPhase 1
HWK-007 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called HWK-007, which is designed to target and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. It is for people with specific advanced solid tumors (lung, endometrial, or ovarian cancer) that have not responded well to standard treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07222566RecruitingPhase 3
New drug plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07211178Recruiting
Tracking cancer DNA in blood to detect early return of breast cancer
This study tracks tiny traces of cancer DNA in the blood over time to see if it can find early signs of breast cancer coming back. It looks at different types of breast cancer and at different points in a patient's treatment journey.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–99 - NCT07144826RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Probiotic for Gut and Vaginal Health in Ovarian Cancer Chemotherapy
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can help balance the bacteria in your gut and vagina while you undergo chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this could improve your treatment experience or outcomes.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07124611Recruiting
Emotional support study for pancreatic cancer patients
This study offers a brief psychological intervention to help patients with pancreatic cancer manage emotional well-being before surgery. It is designed for newly diagnosed patients who are starting chemotherapy before surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07103018RecruitingPhase 1
Study of KTX-2001 for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called KTX-2001, possibly combined with another drug (darolutamide), for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone treatments. The goal is to see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07080242RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M14D1 for small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug, BL-M14D1, for people with certain types of neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer that have progressed after standard treatment. The drug targets a protein called DLL3 found on these cancer cells, which may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07033026RecruitingPhase 2
Study of NGM120 for weight loss in colorectal cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called NGM120 for people with colorectal cancer who are losing weight (a condition called cancer cachexia). It is a placebo-controlled trial, meaning some participants will receive the drug and some will receive a placebo, to see if the drug helps stop or reverse this weight loss.
Toledo, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07024784RecruitingPhase 2
Study of IMGN151 for gynecologic cancers
This study tests a new drug (IMGN151) given intravenously, alone or with other therapies, for people with certain gynecologic cancers, specifically high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The goal is to see how well it works and what side effects might occur.

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.
