Recruiting studies
- NCT03990896RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib for metastatic breast cancer with BRCA body DNA changes
This Phase 2 trial tests talazoparib, a targeted cancer medicine, in people with metastatic breast cancer that has a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation found in tumor DNA circulating in the blood. If you qualify, the goal is to see how well this treatment works when the mutation is detected this specific way.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03647358RecruitingPhase 1
Iodine scan planning for metastatic thyroid cancer treatment
This early-stage study tests how well a special iodine scan (using iodine-124) can help plan treatment with radioactive iodine (iodine-131) for thyroid cancer that has spread. It may help doctors decide the right way to measure and target radioiodine-avid (radioiodine-absorbing) metastases.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03454035RecruitingPhase 1
Combination of two study drugs for advanced pancreatic and other solid tumors
This trial tests two drugs, ulixertinib and palbociclib, taken together to see if they can shrink tumors in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, melanoma, or other solid tumors. It may be an option for people who have already tried standard treatments.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03449238RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab with focused brain radiation for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab (an immune therapy medicine) plus stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) can better control brain metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink or slow growth of multiple brain spots with minimal treatment to surrounding tissue.
New York, New YorkAges 19–90 - NCT03422302Recruiting
CPAP or breath-holding to reduce lung tumor motion
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Sewell, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug testing for advanced cancer with tumor gene changes
This trial tests whether FDA-approved targeted drugs can help people with advanced cancer whose tumors have specific gene changes. It aims to match your tumor's unique genetic profile to a drug that may work better for you.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT02474160Recruiting
Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 months+ - NCT02422641RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose methotrexate for breast cancer in the brain lining
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving high-dose methotrexate into the bloodstream can help treat breast cancer that has spread to the thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord. It may help reduce cancer in the leptomeningeal (brain-lining) area and control symptoms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02174549RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a drug with liver artery treatment for liver-spread neuroendocrine cancer
This early-stage study tests a cancer drug called tirapazamine, given along with a liver artery procedure (embolization) to treat liver-dominant metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can better control tumor growth in the liver.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 20–99 - NCT01954992RecruitingPhase 3
Glufosfamide vs 5-FU for metastatic pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine
This study compares two chemotherapy drugs—glufosfamide and 5-FU—in people with pancreatic cancer that has spread and got worse after gemcitabine. It aims to see which option works better as a “second-line” treatment.
Whittier, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06581432RecruitingPhase 2
Zongertinib for advanced cancers with HER2 changes
This trial tests a new pill called zongertinib for people with advanced cancers that have HER2 changes. It may help when other treatments have stopped working, and it targets the HER2 protein to slow or stop tumor growth.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225855Recruiting
Support for older adults with head and neck cancer and their caregivers
This trial tests whether a special geriatric assessment (a check-up for older adults) and extra support can help people aged 60+ with head and neck cancer feel better during chemotherapy and radiation. It also looks at how this helps their family or friend caregivers.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06885034RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for advanced bowel or pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing an experimental drug (GSK5764227) either alone or with other treatments for people with advanced colon, rectal, or pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective for these cancers.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05898399RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ART6043, alone or with another drug called olaparib, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help if your cancer has specific DNA repair problems or if you have breast cancer with a BRCA gene mutation.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07870265Recruiting
Blood test for detecting BRAF mutation in melanoma
This trial tests a new blood test to detect a specific gene change (BRAF V600E) in melanoma that has come back. The test uses a technology called CRISPR to find the mutation in a simple blood draw, which could help guide treatment without needing a tissue biopsy.
Brno, BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT07686445RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AN4035 for advanced cancers with RAS mutations
This trial tests a new drug, AN4035, for people with advanced cancers that have a RAS mutation and high levels of a protein called CEACAM5. The drug may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.

Study of AMO959 with Lutetium-177 and ARPI for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormone therapy. It combines an experimental drug (AMO959) with a targeted radiation treatment (Lutetium-177) and a standard hormone therapy to see if it helps control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07711002RecruitingPhase 3
Saruparib with standard therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called saruparib, which may help keep prostate cancer from growing. It is for men whose cancer has spread and who have already received certain treatments. The study combines saruparib with a standard hormone therapy to see if it works better than the hormone therapy alone.
Hot Springs, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07677254Recruiting
Real world study of prostate cancer treatments
This study looks at real-world data from men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to understand what treatments they receive and how they do. It may help doctors learn more about which treatments work best.

This trial compares adding immunotherapy to standard chemo-radiation before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and whether patients do better after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05334277RecruitingPhase 2
Test furmonertinib for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies furmonertinib alone or with other treatment options to control advanced lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help by targeting the cancer-driving EGFR mutation, especially in people whose mutation is confirmed by a ctDNA blood test.
