Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–21 - NCT07214532Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide breast cancer therapy
This study tests whether a blood test can help decide when to start additional hormone-blocking therapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if starting therapy only when the test detects cancer DNA is as effective as giving it to everyone.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06833073RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an mRNA vaccine and BCG for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (V940) combined with BCG therapy for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if the vaccine can help the immune system better fight the cancer.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919965RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs. standard bladder chemo for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug called TAR-210, given directly into the bladder, to standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of high-risk bladder cancer that has not invaded muscle. It tests if TAR-210 can be more effective with fewer side effects.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225946RecruitingPhase 3
Study of pasritamig with docetaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called pasritamig combined with the chemotherapy docetaxel, compared to docetaxel alone, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormone therapy.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06319820RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs standard bladder chemo for FGFR-mutated bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug, TAR-210, which is placed directly into the bladder, against standard chemotherapy given through a catheter. It is for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that has a change in the FGFR gene.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Wynnewood, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Mullica Hill, New JerseyAges 40–75 - NCT04185935Recruiting
Genetic study of cancer in patients and their families
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
Paoli, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06807437RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lanreotide before pancreas surgery to prevent leaks
This trial tests if a medicine called lanreotide, given before surgery, can prevent a common complication (pancreatic leak) after removing part of the pancreas. It is for people with pancreatic cancer or a growth that could become cancer who are scheduled for a specific type of pancreas surgery.
Chadds Ford, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07283939Recruiting
Testing a tool to adjust chemo doses and reduce treatment delays
This trial tests a computer algorithm called PAGODA that helps doctors adjust chemotherapy doses for people with gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to prevent unplanned treatment delays while keeping the treatment effective.
Chadds Ford, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02474160Recruiting
Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 2 months+ - NCT07412002Recruiting
End-of-life care quality for children with cancer
This trial asks bereaved parents about the quality of care their child received in the last month of life. It aims to improve how hospitals support families when a child with cancer is dying.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT07091617Recruiting
Better genetic testing for young adults with cancer
This study tests a new way to offer genetic testing to young adults (ages 18-39) who have or had cancer. The goal is to make it easier for you to learn if you have inherited gene changes that could affect your cancer and your family's health.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT07215624Recruiting
Survey on blood clot prevention after cancer surgery
This study surveys surgeons and surgical advanced practice providers about how they prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) in patients after cancer surgery. It aims to understand current practices and improve future care.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT05006482RecruitingPhase 3
Geriatric education and care support for older cancer survivors
This study tests whether a structured health education and “older adult care” approach—done with your oncology team—can improve support for people after cancer. It includes older cancer survivors and a chosen caregiver, using in-person or video visits for follow-up.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT07060807RecruitingPhase 3
Patritumab deruxtecan for advanced breast cancer
This study tests an investigational drug called patritumab deruxtecan for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The drug targets a protein called HER3, which is common on these cancer cells, and may slow or shrink the cancer when previous treatments have stopped working.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT07225920Enrolling by invitation
Understanding needs of older patients before cancer treatment
This study talks with older adults, their caregivers, and healthcare providers to learn what help and support older patients need before starting cancer treatment. The goal is to better understand these needs so clinics can offer the right support.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT07566156RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination vs. radiation for bladder cancer preservation
This trial tests whether two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work better than radiation with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to treat your cancer while keeping your bladder instead of removing it.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT05544019RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an investigational drug for mature B-cell cancers
This early (Phase 1) study tests SGR-1505, an experimental treatment, in people with certain mature B-cell cancers. It’s mainly designed to see how the drug works in the body and to check safety, and it may offer an option if standard treatments aren’t enough.

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.
