This trial studies Lu-177 DOTATATE (Lutathera), a targeted radiation medicine, for tumors that cannot be safely removed with surgery. It aims to shrink or control pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma that is showing recent growth and has a specific target signal on a special PET scan.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03391778Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Long-term follow-up for cell therapy participants
This study checks how people do over time after receiving an “adoptive cell therapy” treatment. It helps researchers understand long-term safety and outcomes after prior participation in related studies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00923065Enrolling by invitation
NCI care and data study for patients and donors
This study helps collect information and provide certain clinical care and interventions for people who come to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Clinical Center (CCR). It may be a fit if you need NCI-level evaluation or support because your condition is complex, or if you’re involved as a cellular therapy donor or certain family members needing genetic testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–120 years - NCT06904066RecruitingPhase 1
Custom T cells for blood cancers with specific mutations
This trial tests a personalized treatment where your immune cells are collected, modified to recognize unique cancer markers (neoantigens) from TP53 or RAS mutations, and returned to fight blood cancers like AML, MDS, or multiple myeloma.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05691517RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug CBX-12 in advanced cancers and monitor your response
This Phase 1 study tests how your body handles the drug CBX-12 in people with advanced solid cancers that have already tried prior treatments. It may help researchers learn safe dosing and how tumors respond, and you may be asked to provide biopsy samples.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05554406RecruitingPhase 2
New drug therapy for high-risk AML
This trial is testing new drug combinations for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk AML who have not yet started treatment. It aims to find more effective therapies for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–59 - NCT05592626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell activator STAR0602 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called STAR0602 that aims to boost your immune system's T cells to fight advanced solid tumors. It's for patients whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments or for whom such treatments are not suitable.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06222203Recruiting
Monitoring for tumor changes in people with NF1
This study tracks people with NF1 to watch for when benign nerve tumors turn cancerous. It uses regular MRI scans to catch changes early, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–120 - NCT03805919Recruiting
Study for men with high inherited risk of prostate cancer
This study is for men who have a known inherited gene change that raises their prostate cancer risk. It aims to help prevent or detect prostate cancer earlier, and you may be asked to undergo MRI and other study steps.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–75 - NCT06885697RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells targeting mesothelin for solid tumors
This study tests a new treatment called CAR T cells that target a protein called mesothelin found on certain cancer cells. The CAR T cells are made from your own immune cells and may help shrink tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07162038RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cells plus half-matched stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancer
This trial tests giving special immune cells (CAR-T cells) that target a protein called CD19 on cancer cells, followed by a half-matched stem cell transplant, to treat high-risk blood cancers. The treatment aims to improve outcomes by using the CAR-T cells to reduce disease before the transplant.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT07067138Recruiting
Genetic testing to guide treatment for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at the genes in your cancer to find a treatment that might work better for you. It tests your tumor sample to match you with a drug that targets your cancer's specific weaknesses.

Testing an epigenetic drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests Aza-TdC in adults with advanced solid cancers that have grown despite standard treatment, or for which no standard options exist. The goal is to see if the drug can be given safely and start to show signs of benefit against tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing

Bethesda, MarylandAges 45–75 - 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.

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.
