Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07458347RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors with a KRAS mutation
This trial tests a new pill, KST-6051, for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer) that have a specific genetic change called a KRAS mutation. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer, and to find the best dose.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07664397RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging study of a new tracer for cancer detection
This study tests a new imaging tracer called [89Zr]DFO-YS5 that may help detect certain cancers on a PET-CT scan. The goal is to see if this tracer is safe and works well for finding tumors, which could one day help doctors plan better treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07671534RecruitingPhase 2
Metronomic chemotherapy with gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide—given in a low, frequent 'metronomic' schedule to treat advanced solid tumors that have already been treated. The goal is to see if this approach can slow or stop tumor growth with fewer side effects.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06190886RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human study of PTX-912 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called PTX-912 for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It is a first-in-human study, meaning this is the first time PTX-912 is being given to people, to see how safe it is and how well it works.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07619313RecruitingPhase 1
AB801 with Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy for Bile Duct or Pancreatic Cancer
This study tests a new drug called AB801 combined with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.

Testing an anti-cancer drug plus pembrolizumab for advanced cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests the safety and early signs of benefit from CJRB-101 when combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced or metastatic lung, head and neck, or melanoma cancer. It may help some participants, but the main goal is to see how safe the combination is and whether it can control cancer.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07524322RecruitingPhase 1
RGT-490 for Advanced Cancers With PIK3CA Mutations
This study tests a new drug called RGT-490 in patients with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery) that have a specific genetic change called a PIK3CA mutation. The drug is designed to block a protein involved in cancer cell growth.

What taking part in a locally advanced solid tumor 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.
