Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05687136RecruitingPhase 1
Study two targeted drugs for solid tumors with DNA repair changes
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective two anti-cancer drugs (peposertib and tuvusertib) are for advanced solid tumors. It focuses on cancers with specific DNA repair and cell-growth gene changes, aiming to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard treatments have stopped working.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05564390RecruitingPhase 2
MyeloMATCH screening to match you to AML or MDS treatment
This study screens people with newly suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to see which treatment approach fits best—either a specific study treatment or standard care. It may help by directing you to the right option and by sharing your blood/bone marrow samples for research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04645160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tivozanib for bile duct and gallbladder cancers after chemotherapy

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.
