Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Media, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05803382RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug to capecitabine for metastatic colorectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN003694) added to the usual chemotherapy capecitabine. It is for adults with colorectal cancer (and possibly other cancers) that has spread or cannot be removed and has continued despite prior standard treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–21 - NCT04585958RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for HER2-positive cancers and resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, DS-8201a and olaparib, for people with cancers that have a protein called HER2, and for those with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06941272RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of patritumab deruxtecan for children with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, patritumab deruxtecan, in children and adolescents whose rhabdomyosarcoma or hepatoblastoma has returned or not responded to at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–17 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there metastatic malignant neoplasm in the brain clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting metastatic malignant neoplasm in the brain studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a metastatic malignant neoplasm in the brain study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a metastatic malignant neoplasm in the brain trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
