Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07011719RecruitingPhase 3
Kidney cancer trial: new combo vs. cabozantinib alone
This trial tests a new drug (casdatifan) combined with cabozantinib for advanced clear cell kidney cancer, comparing it to cabozantinib alone. It's for people who haven't taken these specific medicines before and are still in fairly good health.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07293351RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pumitamig with other drugs for advanced kidney cancer
This study tests a new drug (pumitamig) alone or with ipilimumab or cabozantinib for advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to find effective treatment options for people whose cancer has spread or is locally advanced.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03786796RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib for metastatic kidney cancer with specific DNA repair gene changes
This trial tests olaparib (a pill medicine) in people with kidney cancer that has spread and specific DNA “repair” gene mutations. The goal is to see whether this targeted treatment can slow the cancer or help it respond better after prior immunotherapy or blood-vessel–blocking therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05155033RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05665361RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing palbociclib plus sasanlimab for advanced kidney cancers
This study tests a combination of two medicines—palbociclib and sasanlimab—in people with advanced clear cell or papillary kidney cancer. It’s mainly designed to check safety (and early signs of how well the treatment may work) in these cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06835972RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib and cabozantinib for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two oral drugs (abemaciclib and cabozantinib) for people with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell type) who have already tried at least two other treatments, including an immunotherapy and a targeted therapy, but their cancer kept growing. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07062549RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging agent for metastatic clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive imaging agent (111In-XYIMSR-01) to see how well it finds clear cell kidney cancer that has spread. It involves a special SPECT/CT scan and may help doctors better see where the cancer is.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06344052RecruitingPhase 2
SP-002 with Vismodegib for Advanced Basal Cell Cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SP-002) combined with vismodegib for people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can't be treated with surgery or has come back after surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, [212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET, that targets a protein on certain cancer cells. It is for people with specific types of advanced cancers that have gotten worse and are not responding to standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT06228066RecruitingPhase 2
Lurbinectedin with or without avelumab for small cell bladder cancer
This clinical trial tests a drug called lurbinectedin, given alone or with avelumab (an immunotherapy), for people with small cell bladder cancer or similar high-grade neuroendocrine tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if combining these drugs helps shrink or control the cancer better.

Study of ANK-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ANK-101, injected directly into tumors to help fight advanced solid tumors that have spread or can't be treated with standard therapies. It may be an option if you have a tumor that can be reached for injection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04657068RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ART0380 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called ART0380 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be especially helpful for those with certain DNA repair gene changes (like ATM or BRCA). The drug will be given alone or with chemotherapy (gemcitabine or irinotecan) depending on the part of the trial.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations

What taking part in a metastatic renal cell carcinoma 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.
