We’re tracking 13 recruiting carcinoma in situ studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06218303RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for early breast cancer (DCIS)
This trial tests a vaccine that targets a protein (MUC1) found in early breast cancer cells. It's for women with ER+ DCIS who are planning surgery, to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back or getting worse.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04959474Recruiting
Pre-surgery radiation study with or without calorie restriction
This trial looks at whether a planned calorie-reduction diet before surgery can change how early breast cancer responds to a short course of radiation. It may help people understand if diet could improve outcomes alongside standard pre-surgery treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06075953RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Active Surveillance for Hormone-Positive DCIS After Surgery
This trial tests whether active surveillance (close monitoring) is a good option for certain patients with hormone-positive DCIS who have positive surgical margins after initial surgery. You would receive no immediate additional treatment—just regular imaging and check-ups.
Bryn Mawr, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05327608RecruitingPhase 2
Time-restricted eating during breast cancer chemotherapy
This study is testing whether time-restricted eating (confining all meals to a specific window each day) can improve the response to chemotherapy in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Participants will follow this eating pattern for 16 weeks while receiving their standard chemotherapy, and the researchers will monitor how the tumor shrinks.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06545955RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy study for high-grade bladder cancer not responding to BCG
This trial tests a gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec, given directly into the bladder, either alone or with chemo or immunotherapy. It's for people with high-grade bladder cancer that hasn't gone away after BCG treatment.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03448926Recruiting
DCIS test registry to guide radiation and drug decisions
This study collects information from people with breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to see how a specific lab test (DCISionRT) may help predict who benefits from radiation and/or certain medications. Your results and clinical details are gathered during routine care, not necessarily to change treatment right away.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 30–85 - NCT04074720Recruiting
Collecting breast cancer tissue and blood samples
This study collects tissue and/or blood samples from people with breast cancer to help future research. It may be useful if you’re already having surgery or another procedure as part of your treatment plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115486Recruiting
Exercise to improve muscle after breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program (called EXERT-BCH) can help improve muscle mass in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It involves group resistance training sessions and is designed to support recovery and strength.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–89 - NCT06833073RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an mRNA vaccine and BCG for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (V940) combined with BCG therapy for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if the vaccine can help the immune system better fight the cancer.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT07478016Recruiting
Studying inflammation and social factors in breast cancer
This study looks at how inflammation and social factors (like stress or support) affect breast cancer patients before they start treatment. You may qualify if you are a woman, newly diagnosed, and have not yet had any cancer treatment.

What taking part in a carcinoma in situ 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 carcinoma in situ clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting carcinoma in situ studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 carcinoma in situ study in Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 carcinoma in situ 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 carcinoma in situ studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
