Recruiting studies near Los Angeles
- NCT03858205Recruiting
Low-dose radiation to relieve pain from bone tumors

New imaging test for brain tumor surgery planning
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted cancer drug study for RAS/RAF mutation-positive tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests S241656 (a targeted cancer medicine) in people whose cancers have certain “RAS/RAF” gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth, and also finds the safest dose and best way to use the drug.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276373RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nenocorilant with nivolumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called nenocorilant combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04503265RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AMXI-5001 study for advanced cancers that won’t respond
This Phase 1/2 trial tests AMXI-5001 in people with advanced cancers that have progressed or stopped responding to standard treatments. It’s mainly designed to find the safest dose and see early signs the treatment might work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02280161Recruiting
Study of inherited cancer gene samples in blood and saliva
This study collects blood and saliva to look for inherited gene changes in people who have been diagnosed with cancer. It may help researchers understand what genetic risks could be involved, which could guide future cancer care.
Los Angeles, 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT02474160Recruiting
Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2 months+ - NCT02970045Recruiting
USC care program for cancer patients enrolled at Norris
This trial is part of a cancer care program for people receiving outpatient or inpatient care at USC Norris. It helps enroll patients into the program’s care and research paperwork, with consent available in English or Spanish.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07630974RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Cancer Drug for Children With Hard-to-Treat Solid Tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan in children whose solid tumors (cancers that form lumps, excluding brain tumors) have come back or stopped responding to previous treatments. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells while potentially causing fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT07339085Recruiting
Advanced MRI for brain tumor recurrence or radiation damage
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better tell the difference between a returning brain tumor and radiation injury. It may help guide your treatment decisions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05372614RecruitingPhase 1
Testing trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) and neratinib, for people with solid tumors that have a HER2 gene change. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works well for cancers that have not responded to at least one prior treatment.
South Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07741968Recruiting
Online program to ease fear of cancer returning
This study tests an online program designed to help women with advanced or certain types of breast or gynecologic cancer manage their fear of the disease progressing or returning. The program aims to reduce anxiety and improve quality of life.
South Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04242095Recruiting
Immunotherapy side effects research study
This study collects blood, stool, and tissue samples from people who have had side effects from immunotherapy (a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer). It aims to learn more about these side effects, so doctors can better manage them in the future.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342440Recruiting
Early detection of colon cancer and advanced polyps
This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.

What taking part in a malignant 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
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.
