Recruiting studies in District of Columbia
- NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 25 years - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–21 - 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).
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–39 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40–75 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–30 - NCT07174336RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Tersolisib with other treatments for advanced breast cancer

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218380RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Vepugratinib for advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called Vepugratinib for people with advanced urinary tract cancer that has a specific change in the FGFR3 gene. It may be an option if you haven't had other treatments for advanced cancer and are looking for a new approach.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03429036Recruiting

This study collects tissue and fluid samples from people with head and neck disorders to help researchers learn more about these conditions. By donating leftover samples from your regular medical care, you can help advance research without extra procedures.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–120 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 15–20 - NCT06513962RecruitingPhase 3
Triptorelin to protect ovaries in young women with cancer
This study tests whether a medicine called triptorelin can protect the ovaries in young women and teens receiving strong chemotherapy for cancer. If you are newly diagnosed with a cancer (other than breast cancer) and are about to get certain chemotherapy drugs, this trial may help preserve your fertility.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 39 years - NCT03779854RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing graft-versus-host disease in kids after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–30 - NCT05521789RecruitingPhase 4
Erector spinae block for thoracic surgery pain relief
This trial tests a specific pain-block injection (called an erector spinae block) to help with pain during thoracic surgery that removes part of the lung. You might benefit from better pain control and possibly fewer pain medicines, depending on what the study finds.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT05663502Recruiting
Donate blood and tissue samples for HIV-related cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples to help researchers learn more about cancers related to HIV/AIDS. You may be able to join if you’re 18+ and have HIV and a cancer diagnosis, or (if HIV-negative) a certain cancer that is closely linked to AIDS-related cancers.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Study of I-DXd for metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug called Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) for people with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It may help by targeting and destroying cancer cells in a different way.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05612347Recruiting
Compare stool test vs colonoscopy for older adults with polyps
This study compares two ways to check for colon polyps in older adults: using a stool test versus having a colonoscopy. It may help find a simpler option if you only had a small number of lower-risk polyps before.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 65–82 - NCT05999994RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for children and young adults with cancer
This trial tests several experimental drugs for children and young adults with cancer. It aims to find safe and effective treatments by matching participants to one of several drug studies based on their cancer type and health.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–39 - NCT07164443RecruitingPhase 3
Study comparing pasritamig to placebo for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called pasritamig against a placebo for people with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if pasritamig can help slow the cancer's growth.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same 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.
