Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT01174121RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells (called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs) for certain metastatic cancers. It’s designed for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who can safely provide a small tumor sample for cell-making.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT06406465RecruitingPhase 2
Belinostat trial for neuroendocrine cancer based on genetics
This trial tests a drug called belinostat, possibly combined with other drugs, based on your genetic makeup. It aims to find the right dose for people with a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine cancer that started outside the lungs.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06253494RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy trial for advanced endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pembrolizumab, lenvatinib, and an immune booster called N-803) plus a personalized vaccine made from your own cells, all aimed at helping your immune system fight advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer that has HER2 protein on its surface.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06171750RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ANK-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ANK-101, injected directly into tumors to help fight advanced solid tumors that have spread or can't be treated with standard therapies. It may be an option if you have a tumor that can be reached for injection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00102544Enrolling by invitation

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00923026Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for adults previously treated in NCI surgery studies
This study asks people age 18+ who were previously treated on certain NCI Surgery Branch (NCI-SB) studies to come back for follow-up. It helps researchers understand how patients do over time after those earlier treatments, including some gene therapy studies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT05660083RecruitingPhase 2
Study of alpelisib plus iNOS inhibitor with nab-paclitaxel
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of medicines can shrink and control HER2-negative metaplastic breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery (locally advanced) or has spread (metastatic). It may help people whose cancer has specific lab/pathology features, and it also checks safety and how well the treatment works in the body.
Bethesda, 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+ - NCT06041516RecruitingPhase 1
New drug ADCT-701 for neuroendocrine and nerve tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ADCT-701 for people with certain rare cancers (neuroendocrine tumors, adrenal cancer, or a type of nerve tumor) that have come back or spread. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, which works like a targeted missile to kill cancer cells while trying to spare healthy ones.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06066138RecruitingPhase 1
Trial: Adjusting Atezolizumab Dose Based on Drug Levels in Blood
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab (Tecentriq) based on its levels in your blood works well. You may be able to join if you have advanced cancer and your doctor already plans to give you this drug (alone or with other approved treatments).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Alexandria, VirginiaAges 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.
Alexandria, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03801876RecruitingPhase 3
Proton versus photon radiation for esophageal cancer
This trial compares proton therapy and standard photon (X-ray) radiation for treating esophageal cancer. It looks to see which approach works better and is safer for people who need chemoradiation.
Alexandria, VirginiaAges 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.
Alexandria, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07061977RecruitingPhase 3
New cancer drug combo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests if giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before and after standard chemoradiation works better than the standard approach for people with high-risk cervical cancer that has spread locally.
Alexandria, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07720284RecruitingPhase 3
Testing new drugs for high-risk bladder cancer after surgery
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (Dato-DXd plus rilvegostomig) against standard treatments for people with high-risk, muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has been surgically removed. The goal is to see if the new treatment reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03493425RecruitingPhase 2
Nasal or sinus cancer treated with or without chemotherapy first
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy before surgery and radiation (instead of doing surgery and radiation first) improves outcomes for people with certain nasal or paranasal sinus cancers that can be removed with an operation. You may qualify if your tumor needs more advanced removal, such as part of the eye area or the skull base.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06007846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Memantine for advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis
This trial tests if memantine, a medication typically used for memory problems, can help people with advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis. It is for those who cannot have standard aggressive treatments.
