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 - 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+ - NCT01174121RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05665361RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing palbociclib plus sasanlimab for advanced kidney cancers
This study tests a combination of two medicines—palbociclib and sasanlimab—in people with advanced clear cell or papillary kidney cancer. It’s mainly designed to check safety (and early signs of how well the treatment may work) in these cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00027326Enrolling by invitation
Blood and Urine Study During Radiation Therapy
This study collects blood and urine samples from patients receiving radiation therapy to understand how the body responds to treatment. It may help researchers improve radiation therapy in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07061977RecruitingPhase 3

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.

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.

Study of 3 drugs for liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery
This trial tests if combining two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) with a brain-health medicine (memantine) can help people with advanced liver cancer that isn't treatable with surgery. It aims to see if this triple therapy works better than standard options.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06007846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Study of drug Sofe-M for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug (Sofe-M) for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including ovarian, endometrial, cervical, lung, breast, pancreatic, or colorectal cancers. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well it works, potentially offering a new treatment option.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07129993RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of datopotamab deruxtecan with chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new drug combination for advanced bladder cancer that has grown despite previous treatment. It pairs a targeted therapy (datopotamab deruxtecan) with chemotherapy, and the goal is to see if it can slow down or stop the cancer better than standard chemo alone.
Largo, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06344052RecruitingPhase 2
SP-002 with Vismodegib for Advanced Basal Cell Cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SP-002) combined with vismodegib for people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can't be treated with surgery or has come back after surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.

What taking part in a carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first

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.
