Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT04094610RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for kids with certain cancer gene changes
This early-phase study tests repotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific gene changes involving ROS1 or NTRK. It may help shrink advanced cancers that carry these gene alterations.
Cleveland, OhioAges Up to 25 years - NCT05440708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed
This trial tests TTI-101, by itself and with other cancer medicines, for liver cancer that is advanced and cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see whether the treatment can slow the cancer down and improve outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05562830RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for bladder or urinary tract cancer after PD-1 failure
This Phase 1/2 study tests investigational cancer treatment(s) in people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer that has not responded to PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. It may help by trying a new approach after prior checkpoint treatment has stopped working or the cancer returns.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05696626RecruitingPhase 3
Test a new pill plus abemaciclib versus standard therapy
This Phase 3 study compares lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has an ESR1 mutation. It looks for better tumor control in people whose cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) and who meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05970497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KB707 trial for advanced solid tumors after other treatments
This early-stage trial tests KB707 in people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded well to standard treatments. If you qualify, you may receive KB707 to see how well it can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06256588RecruitingPhase 3
Dostarlimab vs placebo after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab, given after standard chemoradiation, can keep advanced head and neck cancer from coming back. It is for people who have not had surgery and whose tumors are PD-L1 positive.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06312176RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) against standard treatments for a type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. It's for people whose cancer has worsened despite hormone therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06417814RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Dato-DXd with or without osimertinib for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, Dato-DXd, given alone or with osimertinib, versus standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer) that has worsened after osimertinib treatment.
Maumee, OhioAges 18–130 - NCT06578624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
SA53-OS for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug (SA53-OS) for people with advanced solid tumors or certain lymphomas whose tumors have a normal p53 gene. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps shrink or slow the cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06669117RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
VERT-002 for solid tumors with MET changes
This trial tests a new drug, VERT-002, for people with advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), that have specific changes in the MET gene. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing when other treatments haven't worked or aren't available.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07182149RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NRM-823 for people with several types of advanced cancer that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05136846RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with chemoradiation for stage II–III lung cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding papaverine to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (and some limited stage IV cases). It aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable while targeting the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07425054RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiation with or without immunotherapy for anal cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (retifanlimab) to standard chemoradiation improves outcomes for people with locally advanced anal cancer. The treatment is adjusted based on HPV DNA levels in your blood.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07042295RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab or Cetuximab for Skin Cancer in People with Weakened Immune Systems
This trial tests two drugs, amivantamab with hyaluronidase or cetuximab, in people with weakened immune systems who have advanced skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). The goal is to see if these treatments can help shrink or control the cancer.
Avon, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07195734RecruitingPhase 2
Adding chemo or immunotherapy before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has come back or not gone away after prior treatment.
Sylvania, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.

What taking part in a locally advanced 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.

Common questions
- Are there locally advanced clinical trials in Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 65 recruiting locally advanced studies with a site in Ohio, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a locally advanced study in Ohio?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a locally advanced trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
