Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT07277413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IDE892 for advanced solid tumors with MTAP deletion
This study tests a new drug called IDE892, alone or in combination, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change (MTAP deletion). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–80 - NCT04665206RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing VT3989 for certain advanced cancers
This early-stage trial tests VT3989 in people with specific advanced (metastatic or unresectable) cancers. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in patients who fit the genetic or diagnosis-specific requirements.
Arlington, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03830229Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people with BAP1 mutations
This study follows people with a harmful (deleterious) BAP1 gene change to learn how it affects health over time. It may help researchers better understand mesothelioma risk and the long-term outcomes for families with this genetic mutation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT01950572Recruiting
Biopsy study to learn about mesothelioma and related cancers
This study collects tissue samples (biopsies) and health information to better understand malignant mesothelioma and certain related solid tumors that may produce a protein called mesothelin. It may help future research and treatments, and you can only join if your diagnosis is confirmed and it’s safe for you to have the tissue taken.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT06885697RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells targeting mesothelin for solid tumors
This study tests a new treatment called CAR T cells that target a protein called mesothelin found on certain cancer cells. The CAR T cells are made from your own immune cells and may help shrink tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00242723Recruiting
Looking at cell changes in lung, esophagus, and chest cancers
This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with lung, esophageal, or other chest cancers to look at cell changes. It does not test a new treatment—instead, it aims to better understand these cancers through research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - 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 - NCT04431024Recruiting
Testing imaging and biopsy options for people with BAP1 risk
This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT04847063RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug heating inside the abdomen for peritoneal cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment that delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (HIPEC) for certain cancers that have spread only within the abdominal lining. It aims to see how safely and effectively this approach works, especially when doctors can remove as much tumor as possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05579366RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced ovarian and other solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies Rinatabart Sesutecan to treat advanced cancers, with special focus on certain ovarian cancer types. It’s meant for people whose cancer has come back or has not responded to prior treatments.
Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05873686RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NXP900 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NXP900 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The study has two parts: one for any advanced solid tumor and another for tumors with specific genetic changes.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245500RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for solid tumors with MTAP gene deletion
This Phase 1 trial studies MRTX1719, a new medicine, in solid tumors that have a missing MTAP gene (MTAP deletion). It aims to find the safest dose and check how the drug affects the tumor.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07563738RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ODM-212 with cancer immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ODM-212 combined with existing cancer treatments for mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, or lung cancer with a specific genetic mutation. The study aims to find the right dose and see if adding ODM-212 helps these treatments work better.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Randallstown, MarylandAges 19–110 - NCT06535607RecruitingPhase 2
Study of volrustomig for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called volrustomig, alone or with other cancer treatments, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink or control the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05627960RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an antibody drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests AG01, an antibody that targets a cancer protein called GP88, in people with advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find safe doses and learn whether it can help certain cancers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.

What taking part in a mesothelioma 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.
