This trial tests a new pill called zongertinib, alone or with other drugs, for people with HER2-positive cancers (like breast, stomach, or colorectal cancer) that have spread and are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06065748RecruitingPhase 3
New hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a new oral hormone therapy, giredestrant, against a standard hormone therapy (fulvestrant) when both are given with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It is for people with advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has come back after initial hormone therapy, and who have not yet had other treatments for advanced disease.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07644039RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This study tests a new drug called PM54 combined with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with advanced cancers that have gotten worse despite prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or stop cancer growth.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07527858RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Denikitug with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called denikitug, given alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for patients with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to help people whose cancer has a specific genetic profile (MSS) that doesn't respond well to standard immunotherapy alone.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06600789RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CT7439 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral targeted drug (CT7439) for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

This trial tests a new drug called AZD4956, alone or with other cancer medicines, for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain DNA repair problems (called homologous recombination deficiency). It may be an option if you have breast, ovarian, prostate, or pancreatic cancer with a specific gene change, and you have or haven't had previous PARP inhibitor treatment.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18–130 - NCT06380751RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted therapy for BRCA/PALB2-mutated HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies (saruparib plus camizestrant or hormone therapy) against standard treatments for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It may be a good option if you have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutation and have not yet had treatment for your advanced disease.
Norfolk, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05673148RecruitingPhase 3
Ablation treatment plus usual therapy for limited metastatic bowel cancer
This study tests whether adding “total ablation” (carefully destroying all visible small tumors using surgery, heat/cold treatment, and/or targeted radiation) to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with limited spread of colorectal cancer. It may help by aiming to eliminate all known metastatic spots while you continue usual cancer treatment.
Mechanicsville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3

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.
