Recruiting studies near San Diego
- NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06513962RecruitingPhase 3
Triptorelin to protect ovaries in young women with cancer
This study tests whether a medicine called triptorelin can protect the ovaries in young women and teens receiving strong chemotherapy for cancer. If you are newly diagnosed with a cancer (other than breast cancer) and are about to get certain chemotherapy drugs, this trial may help preserve your fertility.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Up to 39 years - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06311214RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized ADC therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests personalized antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for advanced solid tumors. It looks for specific proteins on your tumor cells to match you with a treatment that targets them directly.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06410209RecruitingPhase 2
Walking Juntos: Smartphone program to help Hispanic cancer survivors be active
This study will test if a smartphone program and social media group can help Hispanic/Latino teens and young adults who had childhood cancer become more physically active. You would wear a Fitbit and use a phone app with culturally tailored tips and support.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 15–20 - NCT05687110RecruitingPhase 1
Testing novobiocin for tumors with DNA repair gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests whether novobiocin is safe and finds the best dose for people whose tumors have specific DNA repair gene mutations. It may help if your cancer is hard to treat with standard options, including certain patients who already tried PARP inhibitors.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT05327010RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combination for advanced solid tumors
This trial is studying whether a new combination of two cancer drugs, ZEN003694 and talazoparib, can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. Talazoparib is a type of drug that targets cancer cells with certain DNA repair problems. The study is divided into groups based on specific gene mutations or previous treatment responses.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05663502Recruiting
Donate blood and tissue samples for HIV-related cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples to help researchers learn more about cancers related to HIV/AIDS. You may be able to join if you’re 18+ and have HIV and a cancer diagnosis, or (if HIV-negative) a certain cancer that is closely linked to AIDS-related cancers.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06587490RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation therapy for limited metastatic cancers
This trial tests whether adding focused, high-dose radiation (SABR) to standard drug therapy can better control cancer that has spread to a few spots in the body. It is for people starting or resuming cancer medicines for newly found or growing metastases.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.

What taking part in a malignant solid neoplasm 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
