Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05941520RecruitingPhase 2
Acolbifene vs low-dose tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares acolbifene and low-dose tamoxifen to see which better lowers breast cancer risk in premenopausal women at high risk. You would be followed with health visits, blood tests, and a breast tissue sampling procedure.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 35 years+ - NCT05583708RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests targeted radiation plus immunotherapy after anti–PD-1 failure
This Phase 2 trial studies whether peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (targeted radiation) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can shrink Merkel cell cancer after it has grown despite anti–PD-1/L1 treatment. It may help people whose cancer has specific receptors that make them eligible for the targeted radiation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731894RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabis for nerve pain after chemotherapy in breast and colon cancer survivors
This trial tests whether a cannabis-based product can reduce nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by chemotherapy in people who have finished treatment for breast or colon cancer. It focuses on survivors who still have pain, numbness, or tingling in their hands or feet.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07156227RecruitingPhase 1
Testing camonsertib with radiation for returning head and neck cancer

Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06881784RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a RAS-targeting pill for lung cancer
This trial tests a new daily pill (daraxonrasib/RMC-6236) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific RAS mutation. It's for those who have already tried 1 or 2 previous treatments, including immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 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.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06875310RecruitingPhase 3
Study of adagrasib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests if adding the targeted drug adagrasib to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy helps people with a specific KRAS G12C mutation in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It is for people who have not had previous treatment for advanced disease.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06526299RecruitingPhase 2
Higher dose of targeted radiation for prostate cancer with low PSMA levels
This trial tests a higher dose of a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and does not produce much of a protein called PSMA on scans. The goal is to see if a stronger dose can work better than the standard dose.
Sylmar, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07144280RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new experimental drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a type of advanced lung cancer that has PD-L1 protein on at least 1% of tumor cells and has progressed after prior treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06644781RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Ifinatamab Deruxtecan for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, Ifinatamab Deruxtecan, for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has worsened after standard treatments. It aims to see if it can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758401RecruitingPhase 3
Study of combination treatment for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new combination of two medicines (sigvotatug vedotin and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has high levels of a protein called PD-L1. The treatment is designed to help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively, and this study aims to see how well it works.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06726161RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new way to find and treat liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. First, a special dye (RYZ811) is used to see if your cancer cells have a marker called GPC3. If they do, you may receive a targeted radiation treatment (RYZ801) that seeks out those cells. This trial is for people whose liver cancer has grown despite receiving at least one prior therapy.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06357377RecruitingPhase 1
NEO100 for children with high-grade brain tumors

Study of amivantamab plus chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new drug (amivantamab) combined with two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back after treatment and cannot be removed by surgery. This study aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06774131RecruitingPhase 3
Study of UGN-104 for low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called UGN-104 for people with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (a type of cancer in the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder). The treatment is given directly into the kidney area to kill cancer cells without surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07166406RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with or without targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation (called SBRT) to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the blood vessels or outside the liver. You may be asked to participate in one of two treatment groups to see which approach works better.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07516366RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs before surgery can safely shrink kidney cancer tumors and help your body fight the cancer. You would receive the drugs before your scheduled surgery, and then your cancer would be removed as planned.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07795749RecruitingPhase 2
Intraperitoneal paclitaxel with systemic therapy for gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal spread
This study tests a treatment that combines chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) with standard systemic chemotherapy for people whose gastrointestinal cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis). It aims to control the cancer and improve how patients feel.

What taking part in a carcinoma 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.
