- NCT04665206RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing VT3989 for certain advanced cancers
This early-stage trial tests VT3989 in people with specific advanced (metastatic or unresectable) cancers. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in patients who fit the genetic or diagnosis-specific requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04683250RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RET-targeting drug study for advanced cancers with RET changes

This trial tests whether combining DS-8201a with olaparib can slow or shrink HER2-positive ovarian cancer that has returned quickly after platinum chemotherapy. It’s a Phase 1 study, meaning it mainly checks safety and finds the best dose, while also looking for signs of anti-cancer activity.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04094610RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for kids with certain cancer gene changes
This early-phase study tests repotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific gene changes involving ROS1 or NTRK. It may help shrink advanced cancers that carry these gene alterations.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 25 years - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors

Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–21 - NCT05732831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for tumors with MTAP loss
This Phase 1/2 trial tests TNG462 (with or without pembrolizumab, depending on the plan) in solid tumors that have lost MTAP. The goal is to check safety and learn whether the treatment can help people with these specific tumor changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05579366RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced ovarian and other solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies Rinatabart Sesutecan to treat advanced cancers, with special focus on certain ovarian cancer types. It’s meant for people whose cancer has come back or has not responded to prior treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05118789RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for ROS1-positive lung or solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests zidesamtinib (NVL-520), a medicine meant to attack cancers that have a ROS1 genetic change. It’s for people with advanced or metastatic ROS1-rearranged NSCLC (lung cancer) and, in one group, other solid tumors.

Study drug for HER2-positive solid tumors, with dose changes
This early-stage study tests YH32367, a drug for people whose cancer is HER2-positive. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink HER2-positive cancers that have spread or are hard to treat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05592626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy trial for solid tumors using a T-cell antibody fusion
This early-stage trial studies STAR0602, an immune system drug that targets specific T-cells to fight advanced solid tumors. It may help people whose cancers have limited treatment options, especially if their tumor shows certain biomarkers.

Study drug that blocks BET and CBP/p300 in advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests an investigational medicine that targets BET and CBP/p300 to try to slow or control advanced, hard-to-treat cancers. You may be eligible if you have certain prostate cancer or NUT midline carcinoma, or specific blood cancers like CMML or myelofibrosis (MF), and your body functions are strong enough for chemotherapy-style treatment.

What taking part in a metastatic solid tumor 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.
