Real-world use of TAR-200 for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This study looks at how patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer are using TAR-200 in everyday medical care. It aims to understand treatment patterns and outcomes outside of a clinical trial.
Wimauma, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919965RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs. standard bladder chemo for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug called TAR-210, given directly into the bladder, to standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of high-risk bladder cancer that has not invaded muscle. It tests if TAR-210 can be more effective with fewer side effects.
Largo, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07205822RecruitingPhase 3
Dato-DXd for advanced HR-positive, HER2-low breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Dato-DXd for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to help stop the cancer from growing.
Largo, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07028853RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding the investigational drug mevrometostat to the standard treatment enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer).

Largo, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06899126RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a drug combo for first-line HER2-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (trastuzumab deruxtecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy) as a first treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of the HER2 protein. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06426628Recruiting
Nasal swab test for lung nodule risk
This trial tests a new nasal swab test to help doctors better understand your risk if you have a small lung nodule. The test looks at cells from your nose to give more information about whether the nodule might be cancer, without needing a biopsy right away.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 29–85 - NCT06692738RecruitingPhase 3
Is a new immunotherapy better than Keytruda for squamous lung cancer?
This trial tests a new drug called Rilvegostomig against the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda), both combined with chemotherapy, as a first treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02984761Recruiting
Surgery vs focused radiation for early lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early-stage lung cancer: surgery or a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy. It aims to find out which approach works best for people whose cancer is small and has not spread.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 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.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07441681RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing radiation plus targeted therapy vs standard chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two treatments for advanced head and neck cancer in patients who cannot take the drug cisplatin. One group gets radiation plus a targeted drug called cetuximab, the other gets radiation plus standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for people who are not candidates for cisplatin.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04038502RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing carboplatin and olaparib for prostate cancer with BRCA gene changes
This study compares two treatments for prostate cancer that has spread and has specific gene changes (BRCA or related genes). It aims to see which treatment works better for people whose cancer has stopped responding to other hormone therapies.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04792684Recruiting
Collecting colon samples from adults with colon findings
This study collects body samples to help evaluate tests for people with suspected or newly diagnosed colorectal conditions, often around the time of colonoscopy or surgery. Depending on the arm, you may be asked to have a colonoscopy soon or to provide samples before planned surgery.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 45–84 - NCT07102381RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab plus chemo before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called zanidatamab combined with chemotherapy to shrink HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It may help improve treatment outcomes for people with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer that has not spread.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07321652RecruitingPhase 3
Sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, sonrotoclax, to the standard treatment zanubrutinib works better for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients aged 65 and older who need therapy due to symptoms or blood cell issues.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 65 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations, with or without an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab, for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06998940RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without panitumumab for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug called panitumumab to standard chemotherapy can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for patients whose tumors do not have a KRAS mutation and who have already had one line of chemotherapy.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without chemo for early breast cancer
This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy and using only hormone therapy with a drug called ribociclib works as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy with ribociclib for certain early breast cancers that have a low risk of coming back.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07068074RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing less invasive surgery to standard care for older adults with early-stage melanoma
This trial compares less invasive procedures with the current standard treatment for early-stage melanoma in adults 75 and older. The goal is to find out if these less invasive options work just as well and help patients recover better.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 75 years+ - NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04239573Recruiting
Compare pancreatic cyst checkup programs and test markers
This study compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 50–75 - NCT06952660RecruitingPhase 4

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.
