Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07196644RecruitingPhase 2
A study of a new drug for certain cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a drug called telisotuzumab adizutecan for people whose cancer has a specific genetic change called MET amplification. It may help when standard treatments are no longer working.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07335497RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental drug CR-001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called CR-001 in people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if CR-001 can slow or stop tumor growth.

New drug SMP-3124LP for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SMP-3124LP for people with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments. It is given in two phases: first to find the best dose (dose escalation) and then to see how well it works in specific cancer types (dose expansion).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07728942RecruitingPhase 1
SLR-108 PET imaging study for metastatic solid tumors
This trial uses a special imaging agent called SLR-108 to take detailed PET scans of your cancer. It aims to see if this scan can help doctors better understand metastatic solid tumors that have grown after previous treatment.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06244992RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PTT-936 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, PTT-936, alone or with other treatments, for people with solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07403721RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AMG 436 for MSI-H/dMMR Cancers
This study tests an experimental drug called AMG 436, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change (MSI-H or dMMR). The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and if it is safe.

Studying a targeted radiation drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests how safe and effective a targeted radiation medicine (177Lu-FAP-2286) is for people with advanced solid cancers that have limited treatment options. It may help by delivering radiation directly to cancer-related targets and shrinking tumors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04762641RecruitingPhase 1
First-dose safety study of ABL503 for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and side effects of ABL503 and finds the best dose to study next. It is for people with advanced cancer that is growing despite prior treatment options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04219254RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BI-1206 with pembrolizumab for advanced solid cancers
This early-phase trial studies BI-1206 together with pembrolizumab to treat advanced solid tumors. It may be an option if your cancer has progressed after prior anti–PD-1/PD-L1 treatment (or, in some groups, if standard treatments aren’t suitable).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07015697RecruitingPhase 1

This study looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help doctors recommend treatment for cancers that have spread. It may help you get the most suitable therapy based on what’s found in your tumor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07671534RecruitingPhase 2
Metronomic chemotherapy with gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—gemcitabine, mitomycin C, and thalidomide—given in a low, frequent 'metronomic' schedule to treat advanced solid tumors that have already been treated. The goal is to see if this approach can slow or stop tumor growth with fewer side effects.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06480552RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug (TEV‑56278) alone or with another drug (pembrolizumab) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if it helps shrink tumors.

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.

Common questions
- Are there metastatic solid tumor clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 269 recruiting metastatic solid tumor studies with a site in California, 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 solid tumor study in California?
- 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 California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, 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 solid tumor 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.
