Recruiting studies near Chicago
- NCT07594626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BMS-986504 and Pemetrexed for Advanced Tumors With MTAP Loss
This trial tests a new drug (BMS-986504) combined with an existing chemotherapy (pemetrexed) for advanced solid cancers that have a specific genetic change called MTAP deletion. The trial aims to see if this combination can slow or stop tumor growth in patients whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05327010RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combination for advanced solid tumors
This trial is studying whether a new combination of two cancer drugs, ZEN003694 and talazoparib, can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. Talazoparib is a type of drug that targets cancer cells with certain DNA repair problems. The study is divided into groups based on specific gene mutations or previous treatment responses.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06072612RecruitingPhase 3
Bria-IMT plus CPI vs standard care for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (Bria-IMT and a checkpoint inhibitor) against your doctor's choice of standard treatments. It is for people with advanced breast cancer that has spread and who have already tried several prior therapies.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05372614RecruitingPhase 1
Testing trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) and neratinib, for people with solid tumors that have a HER2 gene change. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works well for cancers that have not responded to at least one prior treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06239272RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized treatment for NRSTS in children and young adults
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults with a type of soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS). It uses a combination of surgery, targeted radiation, and two drugs (pazopanib and selinexor) to fight cancer while reducing side effects. The study is looking for people who have not been treated before for this sarcoma.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 30 years - NCT06630416RecruitingPhase 2
Pemetrexed for advanced bladder and other cancers with certain gene changes
This trial tests if a chemotherapy drug called pemetrexed works better in advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have specific genetic changes (MLL4, UTX, or MTAP). It is for people who have already tried at least two prior treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05687110RecruitingPhase 1
Testing novobiocin for tumors with DNA repair gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests whether novobiocin is safe and finds the best dose for people whose tumors have specific DNA repair gene mutations. It may help if your cancer is hard to treat with standard options, including certain patients who already tried PARP inhibitors.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06912087RecruitingPhase 1
Finding the right dose of a new combo for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new three-drug combination for advanced head and neck cancer that cannot be cured by local treatments. It aims to find the best dose of a targeted therapy called Zanzalintinib when given with two standard immunotherapy and targeted drugs.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05733000RecruitingPhase 2
CPI-613 plus hydroxychloroquine with chemo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called CPI-613 (devimistat) combined with hydroxychloroquine along with either 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine chemo. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Elmhurst, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07225946RecruitingPhase 3
Study of pasritamig with docetaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called pasritamig combined with the chemotherapy docetaxel, compared to docetaxel alone, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormone therapy.
Lisle, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07227415RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other cancer treatments, for adults with advanced kidney cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or stop them from growing.

What taking part in a metastatic malignant neoplasm in the brain 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.
