Recruiting studies near Columbus
- NCT06395519RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ETX-19477 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called ETX-19477 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, especially for those with certain genetic changes (BRCA2 mutations).
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04923542RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drug plus focused brain radiation for breast cancer
This study tests whether abemaciclib (a targeted pill) given with focused radiation to brain tumors can control hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in the brain. It’s designed to see if the combination helps shrink or slow the growth of brain metastases while keeping side effects manageable.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05839379Recruiting
Targeted therapy study for children and young adults with brain tumors
This trial studies a targeted medicine approach for high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) and some diffuse midline tumors, including DIPG. It may help by matching treatment to tumor biology using tumor testing done before or around starting standard therapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–39 - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05773274RecruitingPhase 2
Retreating with 177Lu-DOTATATE radiation versus usual treatment
This trial tests whether repeating a targeted radioactive treatment (177Lu-DOTATATE) works better than standard options in people with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help by controlling tumor growth after the first round of this therapy stops working.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06060613RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Engineered immune cells for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called OBX-115, which uses a patient's own immune cells that are modified in a lab to better fight cancer. It is for people with advanced melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04684368RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for children and young adults with a brain tumor
This trial tests a new treatment approach for a rare brain tumor called NGGCT. It aims to see if a different way of treating the tumor can be effective and safe for children and young adults.
Columbus, OhioAges 3–29 - NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06161974RecruitingPhase 2
Olutasidenib and temozolomide for IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two oral medications, olutasidenib and temozolomide, for people with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (high-grade glioma) that has an IDH1 mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the tumor after standard treatment like radiation.
Columbus, OhioAges 12–39 - NCT06120283RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BGB-43395 alone or with other drugs for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called BGB-43395 alone or with other treatments for advanced solid tumors, especially breast cancer. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well it works. It may be an option if your cancer has not responded to other treatments.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05785754RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests DCSZ11 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors (cancers that can’t be removed or have spread) given alone or with other treatments. It’s designed to find a safe dose and to see whether the treatment shows signs of shrinking cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07680439RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T cell therapy study for children with DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy (BCB-276) for children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called DIPG. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–26 - NCT05843253RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus everolimus or temozolomide for certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests ribociclib with either everolimus or temozolomide, depending on the specific brain tumor type. It may help slow tumor growth in children and young adults whose tumor has specific genetic changes and who have had recent standard radiation therapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–39 - NCT03093116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for ALK, ROS1, or NTRK tumor gene changes
This trial studies repotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene rearrangements (ALK, ROS1, or NTRK). It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth based on the patient’s tumor genetic result.
Columbus, OhioAges 12 years+ - 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05687136RecruitingPhase 1
Study two targeted drugs for solid tumors with DNA repair changes
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective two anti-cancer drugs (peposertib and tuvusertib) are for advanced solid tumors. It focuses on cancers with specific DNA repair and cell-growth gene changes, aiming to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard treatments have stopped working.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07080242RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M14D1 for small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug, BL-M14D1, for people with certain types of neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer that have progressed after standard treatment. The drug targets a protein called DLL3 found on these cancer cells, which may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05636618RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation for certain receptor-positive tumors
This trial tests a targeted form of radiation made to stick to specific “somatostatin receptor” markers on tumors. It is designed for people with advanced, receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors or meningioma who may have had prior treatments and need more options.

What taking part in a metastatic brain tumor 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.
