Recruiting studies in District of Columbia
- 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.

Study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new oral drug called opevesostat against another standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by a first hormone therapy. It's for men who have not had chemotherapy for this stage and who have not used a PARP inhibitor or chose not to.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04239573Recruiting
Compare pancreatic cyst checkup programs and test markers
This study compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 50–75 - NCT04732065RecruitingPhase 1
ONC206 for certain brain tumors in children and young adults
This Phase 1 study tests ONC206, a new targeted medicine, for diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with a specific gene change (H3K27 altered) and for some other recurrent brain/spinal cord cancers. It is designed to find the right dose and see whether it can control or shrink tumors after initial treatment or when the cancer returns.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2–21 - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05235165RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery choice for lung spread of osteosarcoma
This Phase 3 trial compares two ways to remove lung metastases (open surgery vs keyhole surgery) in people with osteosarcoma. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients with a limited number of lung spots that can be removed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 50 years - NCT06256588RecruitingPhase 3
Dostarlimab vs placebo after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab, given after standard chemoradiation, can keep advanced head and neck cancer from coming back. It is for people who have not had surgery and whose tumors are PD-L1 positive.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining
This trial compares a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) to standard radiation for people whose breast or lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to see if proton therapy can better control the disease while causing fewer side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06119581RecruitingPhase 3
Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (olomorasib) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and possibly chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been treated before.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06853925Recruiting
Online program for thyroid cancer symptom management
This study tests a web-based program to help people with thyroid cancer manage symptoms from radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment and improve their quality of life. It is for those who have had RAI within the past three years and are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06892275Recruiting
Helping high-risk women decide about breast MRI
This study tests a decision aid to help women at high risk for breast cancer decide whether to get a screening MRI. It is designed for Black and Latina women who have had a normal mammogram in the past year.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–74 - NCT06966453RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of disitamab vedotin for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called disitamab vedotin for people with advanced breast cancer that has a certain amount of HER2 protein. Depending on your HER2 and hormone receptor status, you may be eligible for one of three groups, each with different prior treatment requirements.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07011836Recruiting
Video support for cervical cancer screening in Black women
This trial tests whether watching videos and getting text message reminders can help Black women who are overdue for cervical cancer screening get their Pap or HPV tests. It aims to make screening easier and less stressful.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 21–65 - NCT07017816RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy, checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation for children with brain cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for children and young adults with brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment includes a gene therapy (SGT-53) that delivers a normal TP53 gene, a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system attack the cancer, and focused radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–21 - 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).
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT02333604Recruiting
Cancer experience registry for patients and caregivers
This registry collects information about the experiences of people with cancer and the people who care for them. Joining could help researchers better understand needs and improve support, without requiring cancer treatment changes.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07407933RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
YL201 with other cancer drugs for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, YL201, combined with other cancer treatments for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer (extensive-stage small cell lung cancer). It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.

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.
