Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT07222566RecruitingPhase 3
New drug plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07067138Recruiting
Genetic testing to guide treatment for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at the genes in your cancer to find a treatment that might work better for you. It tests your tumor sample to match you with a drug that targets your cancer's specific weaknesses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT03412877RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized immune-cell therapy for advanced metastatic cancers
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy made from your own immune cells, changed to recognize “neoantigens” on cancer cells. It’s designed for people with metastatic (advanced spread) solid cancers or certain other cancers who have tried standard treatments but cancer is still growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06136650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new oral drug called opevesostat against another standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by a first hormone therapy. It's for men who have not had chemotherapy for this stage and who have not used a PARP inhibitor or chose not to.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Cumberland, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07147231RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pidnarulex plus cemiplimab for MSS colorectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs together: pidnarulex (a targeted therapy) and cemiplimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer). It is for people with advanced colorectal cancer that is microsatellite stable (MSS) and has not responded to current treatments, especially if their tumor has a MYC or FBXW7 change.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06445062RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAS-targeting drugs for gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests new drugs that target a specific genetic change (RAS) in gastrointestinal cancers like pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink or slow down the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Easton, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06925737RecruitingPhase 3
Study of I-DXd for metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug called Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) for people with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It may help by targeting and destroying cancer cells in a different way.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04704505RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone-like treatment plus radium for bone-spread prostate cancer
This trial studies whether adding a testosterone-related therapy (BAT) to radium-223 can better control prostate cancer that has spread mainly to the bones. It may help shrink tumors in the bone and slow PSA rises, which are a common marker of prostate cancer activity.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06134232RecruitingPhase 2
Extra sipuleucel-T after Provenge for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding one extra infusion of sipuleucel-T (the same drug as Provenge) after the standard three doses can help men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. It is for men who have already finished their three Provenge infusions and have mild or no symptoms.
Towson, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05003895RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for solid tumors with high GPC3 protein
This early-phase trial tests a personalized CAR-T cell treatment for cancers that make a lot of a protein called GPC3. If you have advanced cancer that has already tried at least one standard treatment, and your tumor has enough GPC3, this study aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and how safe it is.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07129993RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of datopotamab deruxtecan with chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new drug combination for advanced bladder cancer that has grown despite previous treatment. It pairs a targeted therapy (datopotamab deruxtecan) with chemotherapy, and the goal is to see if it can slow down or stop the cancer better than standard chemo alone.
Largo, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06996782RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung cancer study testing new combination treatments
This study tests a new drug (rilvegostomig) alone or with chemotherapy or another drug (ramucirumab) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It aims to see if these combinations work better than standard treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07144280RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new experimental drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a type of advanced lung cancer that has PD-L1 protein on at least 1% of tumor cells and has progressed after prior treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06508138Enrolling by invitationPhase 1

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.
