Neoplasms clinical trials in Massachusetts
We’re tracking 129 recruiting neoplasms studies with a site in Massachusetts — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07397611RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy for clear cell kidney cancer
This study tests a new combination of medications (casdatifan and zimberelimab) given before surgery to remove kidney tumors in people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the tumor or improve outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00872495Recruiting
Tests urine and bladder checks for bladder cancer
This trial tests non-invasive tests (using urine samples and scheduled bladder procedures) to help detect bladder cancer. It may be helpful if you are having bladder evaluation or surgery and your care team wants better ways to detect cancer without invasive testing beyond what you already need.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 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.

Rare blood disorder registry for histiocytic conditions
This study is a registry that collects information about people diagnosed with rare histiocytic disorders. It helps doctors better understand these conditions over time and may improve future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07198945Enrolling by invitation
6 vs 12 month follow-up after large colon polyp removal
This trial compares whether a follow-up colonoscopy at 6 or 12 months is better for people who have had a large polyp (20-50 mm) removed. It will help doctors understand the best timing for surveillance.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05486520Enrolling by invitation
Low-field MRI test for breast cancer screening
This study tests a special MRI scanner that uses much weaker magnets to look at breast tissue for screening and possible follow-up. It may help find breast changes while aiming to reduce noise and discomfort compared with standard MRI.

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 Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 129 recruiting neoplasms studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
