Recruiting studies near Miami
- NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06124508Recruiting
Lung cancer screening awareness for Hispanic head and neck cancer survivors
This study aims to increase awareness and use of lung cancer screening among Hispanic/Latinx individuals who have survived head and neck cancer. You may be able to join if you are a long-term survivor, have a significant smoking history, and haven't had a lung scan recently.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06129864RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Volrustomig for advanced head and neck cancer after chemoradiation
This trial tests a new drug called volrustomig (MEDI5752) for people with advanced head and neck cancer that was not removed by surgery and has been treated with chemoradiation. The goal is to see if the drug can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–130 - NCT06699212RecruitingPhase 3
Light-activated therapy with immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new light-activated treatment (ASP-1929) combined with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) as a first treatment for head and neck cancer that has come back in the same area but has not spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05962242RecruitingPhase 2
HPV-tested de-escalated radiation for HPV-related throat cancer
This Phase 2 study uses HPV test results from your tumor to safely lower (de-intensify) the strength of radiation for some HPV-positive oropharyngeal throat cancers. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping cancer control effective.
Miami, FloridaAges 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.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Miami, FloridaAges 12 years+ - NCT04534205RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing BNT113 plus pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone
This trial studies whether adding BNT113 to pembrolizumab works better and is safe for people with HPV16-positive head and neck cancer that can’t be cured with local treatments. It also compares outcomes to pembrolizumab alone, specifically for tumors that show PD-L1 in testing.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03997643RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plan trial to help protect swallowing after mouth cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether changing the “radiation volume” (how much area is treated) can better preserve swallowing after surgery for oral cavity squamous cell cancer. It may help reduce swallowing problems while still treating the cancer safely.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–79 - NCT05451004RecruitingPhase 3
SPECT-CT test to target neck radiation on one side
This study tests whether using a special scan (SPECT-CT) can guide radiation treatment to only the safer/needed side of the neck in people with a one-sided oropharyngeal cancer. It aims to keep cancer control while potentially reducing side effects from unnecessary radiation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Miami, FloridaAges 40 years+ - NCT07276399RecruitingPhase 3
Study of amivantamab plus standard care for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug amivantamab to usual treatments helps people with advanced head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It compares the combination to standard care alone.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06710756RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lead-212 therapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, Lead-212 PSV359, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to find and attack cancer cells.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877599RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new type of therapy (NT-175) for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change. It might help if your tumor has the TP53 R175H mutation and you have the HLA-A*02:01 immune marker.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07020117RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AKY-1189 for advanced solid tumors

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318220Recruiting
Prehabilitation program for head and neck cancer patients
This study tests a prehabilitation program (exercises and diet changes) before starting radiation or chemoradiation for head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful for patients like you.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06239194RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MdX2001 for advanced solid tumors

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
