Neoplasms clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 249 recruiting neoplasms studies with a site in California — including Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT01766297RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation after lumpectomy for early breast cancer
This trial studies a type of radiation made with protons to treat only part of the breast after surgery (lumpectomy) for early-stage breast cancer. It may help control the cancer while aiming to reduce radiation to surrounding tissues.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT01255748Recruiting
Registry study tracking outcomes after radiation treatment
This registry study collects information from people who are planning to receive radiation therapy. The goal is to better understand treatment outcomes and help improve radiation care over time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT00568490Recruiting
Finding blood markers that show low oxygen in tumors
This study looks for substances in blood that may reflect how “low-oxygen” a tumor is. If you have head and neck cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, it may help researchers understand tumor oxygen levels and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00756665Recruiting
Study of careful monitoring for prostate cancer
This study follows people with early-stage prostate cancer who choose active surveillance instead of immediate treatment. It aims to see how monitoring with repeat prostate biopsies and follow-up works over time.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT00843375Recruiting
Testing stool samples to find early colon cancer and polyps
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00349830Recruiting
Blood marker test to track response to cancer treatment
This study looks for new blood (serum) markers that may show whether anti-cancer therapy is working. If you have cancer or possible cancer and can safely take part, your blood may be used to monitor treatment response over time.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00477100Recruiting
Breast cancer tissue and data registry for research
This trial helps create a research “tissue registry” by collecting breast cancer tissue samples and medical information. It may help doctors better understand inflammatory or invasive breast cancer and improve future studies.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).

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.

Common questions
- Are there neoplasms clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 249 recruiting neoplasms 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 neoplasms 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 neoplasms 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.
Not the right time?
New neoplasms studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
