Recruiting studies in New Jersey
- 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.
Jersey City, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 40–75 - 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.
Flemington, New JerseyAges Any age - 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.

Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 16 years+ - NCT03463954Recruiting
Laser treatment trial for small breast tumors
This trial tests a focused laser treatment (Novilase®) to destroy small, cancerous breast tumors while aiming to work with standard care. It may help people who have an early, localized tumor that can be clearly seen on imaging so doctors can guide the laser safely.
Florham Park, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07209111RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Calderasib for advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12C mutation
This trial tests a new drug, Calderasib (MK-1084), for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS G12C mutation and aren't getting better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control the cancer.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 1 month–17 years - NCT07247110RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MK-4716 for people with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MK-4716, alone or with cetuximab or pembrolizumab, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS gene change. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07449208Recruiting
Esophagectomy leak risk registry study
This study follows people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus (esophagectomy) who are at higher risk for a leak where the esophagus is reconnected. The goal is to learn more about who develops leaks and how to prevent them.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.

Genetic study of cancer in patients and their families
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
Flemington, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT05235165RecruitingPhase 3

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.
