Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT05372640RecruitingPhase 1
Drug combo trial for rare cancers with shared NUT features
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs (ZEN003694 and abemaciclib) in teens and adults with metastatic or unresectable NUT carcinoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors. It may help by finding a safer dose and whether the drug combination can shrink or control tumors that do not respond to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C.

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.
South Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06910761RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for cancer spread to brain lining
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation to the brain and spine (craniospinal irradiation) can help control cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease) in people with breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve symptoms and slow disease progression.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07619599RecruitingPhase 1
PET Scan to Track Lung Cancer Treatment Response
This study uses a special PET imaging scan to help doctors see how well pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) is working against advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You'll receive the scan along with your regular pembrolizumab treatment and possible radiation therapy to help measure treatment response.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04864054RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study T-cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a custom immune-cell treatment made to target a marker (GPC3) found on some liver cancers. It’s for adults with advanced HCC whose cancer has worsened after standard treatment or who couldn’t tolerate it.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05285358RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol chemo plus standard drugs for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the drug paclitaxel directly into your belly as a mist, along with two standard chemo drugs given through your veins, for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the cancer in the belly.

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.
