- NCT05671510RecruitingPhase 3
Trial for metastatic lung cancer after PD-1 or PD-L1 treatment failure
This trial compares ONC-392 versus docetaxel (a standard chemotherapy) in metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has grown again after PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. It’s testing whether ONC-392 can control the cancer better or more safely after prior treatment.
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868277RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for first-line treatment of advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Rilvegostomig against the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of PD-L1 protein. The goal is to see which drug works better as a first treatment before any other cancer therapy.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 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.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06785636RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combination for advanced prostate cancer

The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04729114RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and dose test of PRL-02 shot for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe PRL-02 depot (an injection) is and finds the best dose for men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help determine a new treatment option for cancers that have spread or are getting worse despite standard care.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06609005RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of INV-9956 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called INV-9956 in men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy and has spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07200830RecruitingPhase 3
Testing different schedules of a targeted radiation drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests two different dosing schedules of a drug called Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT, which delivers radiation directly to prostate cancer cells. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread, who have not yet had chemotherapy for this stage of the disease.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06244771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing FMC-376 for KRAS G12C mutated solid tumors
This study tests a new targeted pill called FMC-376 for people whose cancer has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth when other treatments have stopped working.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.

Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations

A new treatment for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-TLX591) plus standard care against standard care alone for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. The goal is to see if this targeted radiation can help control the cancer.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06811116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding sapanisertib to cabozantinib for beta-catenin mutant liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug (sapanisertib) to the usual chemotherapy (cabozantinib) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has a specific genetic change (beta-catenin mutation). It is for patients who have already had at least one prior treatment and are looking for a new option.

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.
