Recruiting studies near Madison
- NCT06067503RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan to detect hormone therapy resistance in breast cancer
This trial tests a new PET scan (called FFNP) to see if it can find which breast cancers stop responding to hormone therapy early. It's for people with advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer who are starting a new endocrine treatment.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07197671RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06675357RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer
This trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.

Madison, WisconsinAges 12 years+ - NCT04166409RecruitingPhase 3
Selumetinib versus chemo for low-grade brain tumor in children
This trial studies whether the targeted drug selumetinib works better than standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and vincristine) for children and young adults with a specific type of low-grade glioma (grade 1 or 2). It may help shrink tumors and slow growth while comparing side effects between the two treatment approaches.
Madison, WisconsinAges 2–21 - NCT04038502RecruitingPhase 2
Testing carboplatin or olaparib for gene-linked prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether carboplatin or olaparib can help people with prostate cancer that has certain DNA repair gene changes. It’s designed for advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer that is growing despite standard hormone-blocking treatment.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04613596RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Adagrasib for KRAS G12C lung cancer, alone or with pembrolizumab
This trial studies adagrasib (an anti-cancer drug) either alone or with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with advanced lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes, including for people without urgent brain treatment needs.

Testing whether DNA repair changes affect radium-223 response
This study looks at whether differences in a cancer’s DNA repair system can predict how well radium-223 works for men with prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. It may help researchers choose better treatment for people with bone metastatic, castration-resistant prostate 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.
