Recruiting studies in Tennessee
- NCT04172532RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors

Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05156060RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gabapentin and ketamine to treat head and neck cancer pain
This early-phase study tests whether gabapentin and a ketamine nasal spray can help prevent or lessen short-term and long-term pain from locally advanced head and neck cancer. It may help by changing how the nervous system responds to pain during and after radiation and chemoradiation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 21 years+ - NCT05187832RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in postmenopausal women

Collierville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06051695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for mesothelin-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called mesothelin but have lost a marker that lets them hide from the immune system. It's for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06326411RecruitingPhase 1
Testing NST-628 pills for advanced solid tumors with RAS/MAPK changes

Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3
Testing higher dose radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if a higher dose of radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer after they've had 4–6 months of chemotherapy. It aims to improve cancer control without significantly increasing side effects.
Collierville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07020221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VS-7375 for KRAS G12D solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug called VS-7375 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS G12D mutation. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07221149RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig vs Nivolumab for untreated stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has not been treated before. One group gets pumitamig plus chemotherapy, the other gets nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combination works better.

ICG dye helps surgeons remove tumors

What taking part in a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors 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.
