Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT07213817RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and effectiveness of IPN60300 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called IPN60300 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can shrink tumors.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04777994RecruitingPhase 1
Drug ABBV-CLS-484 for advanced cancers that lack options
This Phase 1 trial tests ABBV-CLS-484 in people with advanced or metastatic tumors when standard treatments have not worked or aren’t available. Because it’s an early study, the main goal is to find a safe dose and see how the cancer responds in different cancer types.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–39 - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07108114RecruitingPhase 1
SLV-324 for advanced solid tumors that have spread
This phase 1 trial tests a new drug called SLV-324 for people with solid tumors that have spread and are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and works against the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05898399RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ART6043 for advanced cancers with DNA repair defects
This early-phase study tests ART6043 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, and in some parts with breast cancer plus specific gene changes. The goal is to see how well it works and whether it is safe, sometimes combined with olaparib.

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).
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07038343RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVZO-1418, either alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against certain types of cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT05101070RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an anti-cancer drug alone or with immunotherapy
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new cancer drug (S-531011) in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, either by itself or combined with an immunotherapy drug. It may help shrink tumors and learn how the treatment works, but it also requires extra procedures like repeat tumor biopsies and frequent monitoring.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–39 - 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.

What taking part in a metastatic brain tumor study involves
A screening visit first

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.
