Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT07017816RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy, checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation for children with brain cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for children and young adults with brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment includes a gene therapy (SGT-53) that delivers a normal TP53 gene, a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system attack the cancer, and focused radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors.

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–30 - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40–75 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 39 years - NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
