Recruiting studies in Colorado
- NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.
Edwards, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06589804RecruitingPhase 3
Testing cetuximab plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding cetuximab to the standard drug pembrolizumab works better for head and neck cancer that has spread or come back after treatment. It is for people whose cancer did not respond to platinum chemotherapy and whose tumors have a certain immune marker (PD-L1).
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back
This study looks at whether blood tests can detect signs that cancer may return after curative-intent treatment. You would have blood drawn around your usual follow-up visits for up to 5 years, and your de-identified health data would be shared with study investigators.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Cheyenne Wells, ColoradoAges 45–75 - NCT07227415RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other cancer treatments, for adults with advanced kidney cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07283939Recruiting
Testing a tool to adjust chemo doses and reduce treatment delays
This trial tests a computer algorithm called PAGODA that helps doctors adjust chemotherapy doses for people with gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to prevent unplanned treatment delays while keeping the treatment effective.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Any age - NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help guide the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab with or without relatlimab) after surgery for urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if starting immunotherapy based on the blood test results can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04858334RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib after pancreatic cancer surgery for BRCA or PALB2 mutations
This trial studies whether olaparib (a targeted cancer medicine) can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery in people with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations. You would get olaparib or a placebo (inactive pill) and be closely followed to see if recurrence is reduced.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06900595RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib with immunotherapy for advanced adrenal cancer
This trial tests adding the targeted drug cabozantinib to the immunotherapy cemiplimab for people with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It checks if the combination works better than cabozantinib alone.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12 years+ - NCT06620302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding DT2216 to chemo for relapsed solid tumors and FLC
This trial is testing whether adding a new drug, DT2216, to standard chemotherapy can help treat solid tumors (not starting in the brain) or fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) that have come back or not responded to treatment. It's for children, teens, and young adults (ages 1 to 39).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1–39 - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Littleton, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing

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.
