Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT06027086RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug therapy for advanced fibrolamellar carcinoma
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs—DRP-104 and durvalumab—to see if they can shrink or slow advanced fibrolamellar carcinoma, a rare liver cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has gotten worse even after immunotherapy treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT05882058RecruitingPhase 2
Dose test of a DLL3 cancer drug for neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 2 study tests how different doses of BI 764532 affect people with small cell lung cancer or certain other neuroendocrine cancers. It may help shrink tumors and improve symptoms after standard treatments have stopped working.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04248569RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for a specific liver cancer gene change
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized peptide vaccine (targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion) combined with immunotherapy drugs to treat fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) or other eligible non-FLC cancers with the same gene fusion. It aims to see whether this immune-based treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes safely.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT05691465RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation drug for metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine cells
This Phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive medicine called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is safe and effective for metastatic prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. It also checks whether patients’ scans show the cancer absorbs the drug (a requirement to start treatment).
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination treatment can control high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer without removing the kidney and ureter (radical nephroureterectomy). It may help people who must avoid surgery or choose not to have it because of medical risk.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05536141RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AB521 for kidney cancer and other solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests AB521, alone and in combination with other medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors—especially clear cell kidney cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment could help shrink tumors or control the disease.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide for early-stage bladder cancer
This trial tests whether the drug bicalutamide can help men with early-stage (non-invasive) bladder cancer, which has not grown into the bladder muscle. It is given before surgery to see if it can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive bicalutamide or a placebo before their scheduled surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05440708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed
This trial tests TTI-101, by itself and with other cancer medicines, for liver cancer that is advanced and cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see whether the treatment can slow the cancer down and improve outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05237934Recruiting
Study collects tissue samples and tracks neuroendocrine tumors
This study looks at neuroendocrine tumors by collecting tissue (when available) and tracking how the disease behaves over time. It may help researchers better understand these cancers, including rare cases of adrenocortical cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05155033RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05003895RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for solid tumors with high GPC3 protein
This early-phase trial tests a personalized CAR-T cell treatment for cancers that make a lot of a protein called GPC3. If you have advanced cancer that has already tried at least one standard treatment, and your tumor has enough GPC3, this study aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and how safe it is.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04489719Recruiting
Testing whether DNA repair changes affect radium-223 response
This study looks at whether differences in a cancer’s DNA repair system can predict how well radium-223 works for men with prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. It may help researchers choose better treatment for people with bone metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03521830RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and other immunotherapy for advanced basal cell skin cancer
This study tests how well the immunotherapy medicine nivolumab works—either by itself or combined with other immune-boosting drugs—for people with advanced basal cell carcinoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It’s also looking at what to do if the cancer grows again after an earlier immunotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT06223568RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without vaccine for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial compares standard chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy combined with an investigational vaccine (PRGN-2009) before surgery for newly diagnosed HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine improves outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07619534Recruiting
Collecting Spinal Fluid from Advanced Breast Cancer Patients
This study collects spinal fluid samples from people with advanced (metastatic) HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who have never had, and currently do not have, cancer spread to the brain. Researchers want to understand how cancer cells might reach the nervous system and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06623422RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine plus Keytruda for lung cancer after surgery
This trial tests combining a cancer vaccine (V940) with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with non-small cell lung cancer that was treated with chemo and Keytruda before surgery but wasn't completely removed. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06084416RecruitingPhase 1
Pill study for advanced ovarian cancer that resists chemo
This trial tests an experimental drug called sovilnesib (taken as a pill) for people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemo. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink or slow the cancer.

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.
