Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT05113368RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib plus fulvestrant for recurrent low-grade ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether regorafenib (a targeted pill) plus fulvestrant (an injection that lowers estrogen signaling) can slow down recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer. It may help people whose cancer has returned after prior treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
Athens, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06592924RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for prostate cancer with slow PSA drop
This trial tests if adding docetaxel chemotherapy helps men whose PSA hasn't dropped enough after at least 6 months of standard hormone therapy (ADT) plus an ARPI pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide) for metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to hormones.
Warrensville Heights, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06580314RecruitingPhase 3
Olaparib with or without bevacizumab for ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether taking the drug olaparib for one or two years, alone or with another drug called bevacizumab, can help keep ovarian cancer from coming back after initial chemotherapy and surgery. It is for people with certain genetic markers in their tumor.
Dublin, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04860453Recruiting
Family genetic testing study for patterns of different cancers
This study checks whether gene tests can help understand cancer risk in families where different relatives had different (discordant) cancers. It may help families and doctors better understand whether hereditary cancer risk is possible, even though some parts use routine standard care as a comparison group.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–100 - NCT06529822RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized cancer vaccine for solid tumors with residual disease
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine designed to help your immune system fight any remaining cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with certain solid tumors—like bladder, stomach, melanoma, or lung cancer—that show signs of disease through a blood test.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06481774Recruiting
Cancer screening help for African American and Hispanic communities
This trial offers support and resources to help people who had a suspicious cancer screening result or were referred to a special diagnostic clinic. It is designed for African American, Hispanic, or people living in high-need zip code areas.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06470243RecruitingPhase 3
Adding carboplatin to cabazitaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called carboplatin to another chemotherapy called cabazitaxel works better than cabazitaxel alone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. All participants must have already had docetaxel chemotherapy.
Findlay, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06472245RecruitingPhase 3
Cancer vaccine for lung cancer that stopped responding to immunotherapy
This trial tests a therapeutic cancer vaccine called OSE2101 for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors stopped responding to an immunotherapy drug. The vaccine is designed to help your immune system fight the cancer in a different way.
Perrysburg, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06386887Recruiting
Fasting During Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer
This trial tests whether adding periods of fasting to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps people with advanced ovarian cancer. It is for those receiving platinum-based chemo for the first time or after recurrence.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06317662RecruitingPhase 2
Adding venetoclax and blinatumomab to chemo for infant leukemia
This trial tests adding two newer medicines (venetoclax and blinatumomab) to standard chemotherapy for infants with a specific type of leukemia. The goal is to see if this combination helps more babies stay cancer-free.
Akron, OhioAges Up to 12 months - NCT06263153RecruitingPhase 2
Futibatinib and durvalumab before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (futibatinib and durvalumab) given before bladder removal surgery for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take standard cisplatin chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05984888Recruiting
MIND diet study for women with breast cancer
This study is testing whether a special diet called the MIND diet can help women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are getting treatment. The diet focuses on foods that are good for the brain, like leafy greens and berries.
Columbus, OhioAges 45–75 - NCT06205485RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy and surgery vs chemoradiation for rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for early-stage rectal cancer: chemotherapy plus local surgery versus standard chemoradiotherapy. It aims to see if less intensive treatment can work just as well, reducing side effects.
Franklin, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Kettering, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06150417RecruitingPhase 2
Study of extra radiation for prostate cancer spread to few spots
This study tests whether adding a type of high-precision radiation (MDRT) to standard hormone therapy works better for men with prostate cancer that has spread to just a few places. It is for patients who are newly diagnosed and on long-term hormone therapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06031688RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for lung cancer with a MET gene change
This trial tests a targeted drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called MET exon 14 skipping. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth, and may help people who have or haven't had prior treatment.
Canton, OhioAges 18 minutes+ - NCT06042543Recruiting
Cervical cancer screening trial for unscreened women
This trial tests a new, affordable way to screen for cervical cancer that can be done in low- and middle-income countries. It uses artificial intelligence to help decide who needs follow-up care.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 25–49 - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05974150Recruiting
Remote symptom monitoring for several blood and cancer types
This study checks how well remote (at-home) symptom check-ins work for people with certain cancers. It may help patients and clinicians spot problems earlier and improve day-to-day care during treatment and beyond.
Massillon, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05985655RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GTAEXS617 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called GTAEXS617 for adults with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.
Ravenna, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05941520RecruitingPhase 2
Acolbifene vs low-dose tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer

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.
