Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06452277RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sevabertinib for advanced HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug called sevabertinib against standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if sevabertinib works better and is safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05099172RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for EGFR or HER2-mutated advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests a new investigational medicine (BAY2927088) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has EGFR and/or HER2 mutations. It’s designed to see how the drug works and what side effects it causes, when standard options have not helped or aren’t suitable.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers

Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02682667Recruiting
Providing blood samples for cancer immunotherapy research
This study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06769126RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment study for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This study uses biomarker tests on your tumor to find a personalized treatment after initial chemotherapy. You will be assigned to one of four treatment groups based on your biomarker results.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03460977RecruitingPhase 1
Mevrometostat trial for hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests mevrometostat (PF 06821497) in people with castration-resistant prostate cancer to see if it’s safe and how the body responds to it. It may be an option if your cancer is no longer controlled by hormone therapy and your organ health tests are within limits.
Rockville, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07223047RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of BMS-986523 for advanced solid tumors with KRAS changes
This trial tests an experimental drug (BMS-986523) alone or with other cancer treatments for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the KRAS gene. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05123482RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study of AZD8205 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and effective AZD8205 is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have come back or spread after standard treatments. It may help by finding the right dose and whether AZD8205 works alone or with another treatment in different cancer types.

Studying PT217 for neuroendocrine cancers
This trial tests a new drug called Peluntamig (PT217) for people with certain types of neuroendocrine cancers, like small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the drug can help when standard treatments stop working or aren't an option.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04402788RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Radiation added to immune therapy for extensive small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to standard immune therapy (atezolizumab) after initial chemo can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. You must have a good response (partial response) or stable disease after initial treatment, plus several lab/imaging checks to confirm safety.

What taking part in a lung cancer 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 lung cancer clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 134 recruiting lung cancer studies with a site in Maryland, 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 lung cancer study in Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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 lung cancer 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.
