Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT07216534Recruiting
Virtual reality streetscape study for psychosocial response
This study uses virtual reality to show different versions of your neighborhood to see how it affects your feelings and well-being. You will attend a two-hour visit at Ohio State University.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07223021RecruitingPhase 3
Fludarabine dosing study for B-cell ALL
This study tests a different dose of the chemotherapy drug fludarabine before CAR T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel) for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if the new dose works better at helping the body accept the CAR T cells while keeping side effects manageable.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1 year+ - NCT07225036Recruiting
Low-dose liver radiation to boost immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding a low dose of radiation to the liver can make standard immunotherapy work better for people with non-small cell lung cancer or melanoma that has spread to the liver.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07226843RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for adults with certain blood cancers
This trial tests a new drug, LY4584180, for adults with several types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have already had at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors and stop the cancer from growing.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02560883Recruiting
Hairy cell leukemia patient data registry
This registry collects information about people with classic and variant hairy cell leukemia. It helps doctors learn from real-world patient data and may improve future care.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07263594RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of DB-1324 for advanced stomach or bowel cancers
This trial tests a new drug called DB-1324 for people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It targets a protein called CDH17 on cancer cells to slow or shrink the tumor.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07319871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of two drugs for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, pasritamig and JNJ-86974680, for men with a certain type of advanced prostate cancer that has spread to bone or lymph nodes but not to organs like the lungs or liver. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07528638Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study tests whether special nerve-monitoring equipment and a specific type of surgical tool can reduce nerve damage during lymph node removal surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if these techniques help preserve arm and shoulder function after surgery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT01408225Recruiting
Myeloma and amyloidosis patient data and sample registry
This study collects health information and, if needed, samples from people diagnosed with certain blood disorders related to plasma cells. Sharing your information may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Akron, OhioAges Any age - NCT01891318RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study radiosurgery plus surgery for brain metastases
This trial tests giving focused radiation (radiosurgery) before surgery for certain resectable brain metastases. It may help shrink or control tumors in the brain before they are surgically removed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02677961Recruiting
Build a bone and soft tissue tumor health record registry
This registry collects health information from people with bone or soft tissue tumors to help researchers understand these cancers better. You may be able to join if you (or your legal decision-maker) can consent to participate.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Match FDA cancer drugs to a tumor gene change
This trial tests FDA-approved cancer medicines in people with advanced cancer whose tumor has a specific gene or protein abnormality. It tries to see whether targeting that tumor “fingerprint” can help when standard treatments no longer work.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT02660645Recruiting
Blue light bladder scan for suspected bladder cancer
This trial uses a special blue-light camera during a bladder procedure to help doctors better see non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help find cancer spots more clearly so they can be treated sooner.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07447895Recruiting
early pelvic floor therapy for women having pelvic radiation
This study tests whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy early can help women with cervical cancer who are receiving radiation and chemotherapy. It aims to improve quality of life by addressing muscle-related side effects of treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07609030Recruiting
Brain Training During CAR-T Cell Cancer Treatment
This study tests whether special brain exercises can help protect thinking and memory skills during CAR-T cell therapy—a newer cancer treatment for certain blood cancers. Researchers want to see if training your brain during treatment reduces side effects on memory and mental function.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06472765Enrolling by invitation
Study of the Vaginal Ecosystem in Healthy Women
This study looks at the natural balance of bacteria and other factors in the vagina of healthy women. It aims to learn more about what a healthy vaginal ecosystem looks like.

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 785 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.
