Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05614739RecruitingPhase 1
Study of vepugratinib for cancers with FGFR3 gene changes
This study tests a new pill, vepugratinib, for people whose cancer has a specific change in a gene called FGFR3. The drug targets this gene change to try to slow or shrink the cancer, and may be an option if standard treatments have not worked.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05880667RecruitingPhase 1
Adaptive focused radiation for belly and pelvic cancer spread
This Phase 1 study tests an “adaptive” form of focused radiation (SBRT) for cancers that have spread in the abdomen or pelvis. It aims to treat metastatic tumor spots safely while adjusting the plan as needed during treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07052214RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET plus MRI to find prostate cancer
This trial tests if combining a PSMA PET scan with an MRI can better detect clinically significant prostate cancer than MRI alone. It may help men who have not had a prostate biopsy before and have certain risk factors.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04064060RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety follow-up for luspatercept study participants

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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06218628RecruitingPhase 1
Pacritinib and talazoparib for bone marrow cancers unresponsive to prior therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (pacritinib and talazoparib) for people with certain bone marrow cancers that have not responded well to standard JAK2 inhibitor therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink the spleen, improve symptoms, or slow disease progression.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07277270RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug with standard treatments for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new investigational drug called GSK5764227 when given along with standard cancer treatments or other drugs for people with advanced colorectal or prostate cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06662786RecruitingPhase 3
Amivantamab plus chemo vs. standard chemo for left-sided colorectal cancer
This trial compares a new combination (amivantamab plus chemotherapy) with the standard treatment (cetuximab plus chemotherapy) as the first therapy for people with left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread. The goal is to see which approach works better when the tumor has no mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF genes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05278208RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lutathera for high-grade brain tumors that returned or got worse
This trial tests if Lutathera, a radioactive drug that targets certain tumors, can help children and young adults with high-grade brain tumors or meningiomas that have come back or are growing. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works.

Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06131801Recruiting
Crushed venetoclax tablet solution study for blood cancers
This study checks how the body handles venetoclax when it's given as a liquid made from crushed tablets. It's for children and young adults with blood cancers who already take venetoclax crushed or through a feeding tube.

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 - 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.

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.
