Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05208047RecruitingPhase 3
CGT9486 plus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called CGT9486 to sunitinib (a standard cancer drug) works better than sunitinib alone for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that have grown or spread. You may qualify if your GIST stopped responding to or caused problems with imatinib, an earlier treatment.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06982521RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combinations for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two different combinations of medicines for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has a specific gene change called PIK3CA. The goal is to see which combination is better at slowing down the cancer.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05854498RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug combination for metastatic colon cancer with prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy combination (liposomal irinotecan), along with TAS-102 and bevacizumab, in people with metastatic colon cancer. It may help if your tumor has mismatch repair–proficient features and you’ve already tried standard colon cancer drugs.

Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05519449RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a PSMA-targeting treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests JANX007 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that keeps growing despite standard hormone treatment). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or slow progression.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–100 - NCT04142437Recruiting
Tracking how larotrectinib works for NTRK fusion cancers in routine care
This study follows people with cancers that have an NTRK gene fusion to learn how safe and effective larotrectinib is during everyday treatment. It may help confirm whether this medicine works well in real-world patients and side effects stay manageable.
Madison, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT06228053RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SX-682 plus enzalutamide for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug SX-682 to enzalutamide can help men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to other hormone treatments. You may be eligible if your cancer is growing despite treatment with abiraterone, darolutamide, apalutamide, or enzalutamide.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05691465RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation drug for metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine cells
This Phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive medicine called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is safe and effective for metastatic prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. It also checks whether patients’ scans show the cancer absorbs the drug (a requirement to start treatment).
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06592924RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for prostate cancer with slow PSA drop
This trial tests if adding docetaxel chemotherapy helps men whose PSA hasn't dropped enough after at least 6 months of standard hormone therapy (ADT) plus an ARPI pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide) for metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to hormones.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07028853RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding the investigational drug mevrometostat to the standard treatment enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer). You may benefit if you haven't yet received chemotherapy or similar strong treatments for this stage of cancer.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06103864RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Dato-DXd with or without durvalumab for advanced triple-negative breast cancer

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.
