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+ - NCT07063745RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new drug called Navlimetostat combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy versus a placebo with the same standard treatments. It is for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific missing gene (MTAP deletion) and who have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07680764RecruitingPhase 2
Imzokitug plus pumitamig and chemo for first-line advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (imzokitug, pumitamig, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy) as a first treatment for advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has not spread to the brain. The goal is to see if adding imzokitug makes the standard treatment work better.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06312176RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) against standard treatments for a type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. It's for people whose cancer has worsened despite hormone therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07194044RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a treatment schedule for metastatic Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a new schedule of standard chemotherapy drugs to see if it improves outcomes for people with metastatic Ewing sarcoma or CIC-rearranged sarcoma. It is for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment, except possibly one initial cycle of VDC.
Columbus, OhioAges 1 year+ - NCT06875128RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-directed chemo with standard chemo for breast cancer
This trial tests if giving a high dose of chemotherapy directly into the liver, followed by standard chemotherapy, is safe and works better than standard chemo alone for people with breast cancer that has spread mostly to the liver.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07699991Recruiting
Support program for breast cancer survivors
This study tests a navigation program to help breast cancer survivors get the support services they need after treatment. It is designed for people treated at the Stefanie Spielman Breast Center who may face extra barriers, such as being older, Black, Hispanic, or living in a rural area.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06026657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NK cells with or without naxitamab for GD2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new treatment using immune cells called NK cells combined with chemotherapy (gemcitabine) and possibly naxitamab for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer that has spread. It aims to see if this approach can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06900595RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib with immunotherapy for advanced adrenal cancer
This trial tests adding the targeted drug cabozantinib to the immunotherapy cemiplimab for people with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It checks if the combination works better than cabozantinib alone.

What taking part in a metastatic cancer 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.
