Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT06306638RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Light therapy after radiation for inoperable airway tumors
This trial tests a new light-activated therapy (interstitial photodynamic therapy) after palliative radiation to shrink inoperable airway tumors and improve breathing. It is for people with solid cancers that block the airway from the outside and cannot be removed with surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07213804RecruitingPhase 3
Study of sofetabart mipitecan for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sofetabart mipitecan for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after treatment. It is for those whose cancer is either resistant to platinum chemo (Part A) or sensitive to it (Parts B and C). The study will see if the drug can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07469891RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PRT12396 for JAK2-positive blood cancers

PETAL Consortium study on T-cell and NK-cell lymphoma
This study, run by Massachusetts General Hospital, is collecting information from people around the world who have certain types of T-cell or NK-cell lymphoma. It aims to learn more about these cancers and how they are managed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06620302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding DT2216 to chemo for relapsed solid tumors and FLC
This trial is testing whether adding a new drug, DT2216, to standard chemotherapy can help treat solid tumors (not starting in the brain) or fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) that have come back or not responded to treatment. It's for children, teens, and young adults (ages 1 to 39).
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–39 - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–30 - NCT06410209RecruitingPhase 2
Walking Juntos: Smartphone program to help Hispanic cancer survivors be active
This study will test if a smartphone program and social media group can help Hispanic/Latino teens and young adults who had childhood cancer become more physically active. You would wear a Fitbit and use a phone app with culturally tailored tips and support.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 15–20 - NCT04871542Recruiting
Predicting risk of immune therapy side effects
This study tries to predict who is more likely to get serious side effects from immune checkpoint medicines used for solid tumors. You may help researchers by answering questionnaires before treatment and during follow-up, and by possibly storing sample specimens.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06095089RecruitingPhase 1
Study of two drugs for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two study drugs for people with advanced prostate cancer that has spread or is no longer responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works against the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07405164RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term extension study for people taking belzutifan
This study is for people who are already taking belzutifan in a related trial (LITESPARK-043) and want to continue treatment for advanced solid tumors or von Hippel-Lindau-related conditions. It tests the safety and effects of long-term use.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07145801RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 treatment response for liver cancer
This trial tests how well a Y-90 radiation treatment works for liver cancer that hasn't been treated before. It uses ultrasound imaging to check the response.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218926RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs sunitinib for GIST after imatinib
This trial compares a new oral drug, IDRX-42, with the standard drug sunitinib (Sutent) for people with advanced GIST whose cancer has progressed after imatinib therapy. The goal is to see if IDRX-42 can better control the tumor growth.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07234968Recruiting
Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT06261814RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound to check chemoembolization for liver tumors
This trial uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to see how well a liver cancer treatment called TACE is working. It may help doctors better understand if the treatment is shrinking the tumor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00288119Recruiting
Study genes in Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors that may be linked to Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. It may help researchers understand why these conditions happen in some families and others do not.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06312176RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) against standard treatments for a type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. It's for people whose cancer has worsened despite hormone therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564390RecruitingPhase 2
MyeloMATCH screening to match you to AML or MDS treatment
This study screens people with newly suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to see which treatment approach fits best—either a specific study treatment or standard care. It may help by directing you to the right option and by sharing your blood/bone marrow samples for research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03435796RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Follow-up for people treated with gene-modified T cells
This study is a long-term check-in for people who previously received gene-modified T-cell infusions in a related Celgene/Juno/BMS trial. It helps researchers track safety and long-term effects over time.

What taking part in a neoplasms 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.
