Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224815Recruiting
DNA markers to predict chemo response in advanced colon cancer
This study uses a blood test to look for specific DNA changes that may help predict how well chemotherapy works in people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find markers that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05687123RecruitingPhase 1
Adding sunitinib to Lutathera for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This early-phase study tests whether adding sunitinib (a targeted pill) to Lutathera (a radioactive treatment) works better for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It also checks safety, since this combination has not been widely studied yet.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06439836RecruitingPhase 1
Combination immunotherapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, CA-4948, combined with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced bladder cancer that grew after prior immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatments stop working.

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.

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic (RNA) testing of kidney cancer tissue to help choose the best drug treatment. It may help guide therapy for people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who are starting treatment for the first time.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06311214RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized ADC therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests personalized antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for advanced solid tumors. It looks for specific proteins on your tumor cells to match you with a treatment that targets them directly.

Test drug T-DXd plus immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy for HER2+ lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests the safety (and early effectiveness) of T-DXd combined with immunotherapy, sometimes also with chemotherapy, in people with advanced lung cancer that is HER2-positive.

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.
