Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT07581184RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted Radioactive Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a new radioactive treatment called [225Ac]Ac-AKY-2519 in men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug carries radioactivity directly to cancer cells to try to shrink tumors and slow disease progression.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04167696RecruitingPhase 1
Dose-finding drug study for AML or MDS after standard options fail
This Phase 1 trial tests CYAD-02 to find the safest and recommended dose for people with AML or MDS that has returned or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help if you have limited treatment options, but participation also requires meeting specific heart, lung, and lab safety requirements.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04256317RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azacitidine pills with or without venetoclax for certain blood cancers
This study tests whether a pill form of azacitidine (ASTX030) helps people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), CMML, or AML. Some groups may also receive venetoclax; the goal is better blood cancer control for people who aren’t good candidates for intensive chemotherapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Testing targeted drugs plus chemo for newly diagnosed AML
This study compares standard chemotherapy to chemotherapy plus CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib in children and young adults newly diagnosed with AML. It aims to see whether adding these targeted treatments improves outcomes, especially for certain gene changes like FLT3.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04322318RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children
This Phase 2 trial tests combination chemotherapy for children with certain types of Wilms tumor—either newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor or favorable Wilms tumor that has come back. The goal is to see how well the treatment controls the tumor and is tolerable for children.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Up to 30 years - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04684368RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment study for children and young adults with NGGCT brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment approach for certain brain tumors called NGGCT in children and young adults. It may help improve outcomes by targeting tumors in specific brain locations and using tumor marker tests to guide care.
Fort Myers, FloridaAges 3–29 - NCT04726241RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing blood and bone marrow samples in young leukemia patients
This trial looks at blood and bone marrow samples from children and teens whose leukemia has come back or is hard to treat. The goal is to better understand the disease and guide future options for these patients.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Up to 22 years - NCT04852887RecruitingPhase 3
Testing shorter breast radiation after low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether “less intense” radiation can work as well as standard radiation for certain early-stage hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancers that have a low Oncotype DX score. It may help reduce treatment burden while keeping cancer control strong.
Aventura, FloridaAges 50–70 - 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.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 1–21 - NCT04872166RecruitingPhase 1
BTX-A51 for advanced solid tumors and breast cancer patients
This Phase 1 study tests BTX-A51, an experimental treatment, in people with advanced cancers that can’t be cured with standard options. It mainly focuses on safety, side effects, and whether the drug can start helping certain tumors.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 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.
Fort Myers, FloridaAges Up to 50 years - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–120 - NCT05254743RecruitingPhase 3
Pirtobrutinib versus ibrutinib for CLL or SLL
This Phase 3 trial compares two oral medicines—pirtobrutinib and ibrutinib—in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need treatment. It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Fort Myers, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05304585RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo for children with early, low-risk fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma
This Phase 3 study tests a chemotherapy plan for children and teens with newly diagnosed, very low-risk or low-risk rhabdomyosarcoma that does not have certain gene fusions (FOXO1 fusion negative). The goal is to see if this treatment can work well while limiting side effects by matching therapy to early-stage risk.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Aventura, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05430971Recruiting
BPDCN international registry for patients to be followed over time
This trial is a patient registry for people with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). It helps researchers learn more about the disease by collecting information from patients as they get care.
Tampa, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05504681Recruiting
Using brain test markers in a cancer clinic visit
This study adds special brain “biomarker” tests into routine visits for adults with brain tumors. It may help the clinic better track these cancers over time and tailor care.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05598879Recruiting
New heart-cancer visit registry for adults
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects health information from adults who are getting a new heart (cardio) evaluation related to cancer. It helps doctors better understand heart risks and care needs for different cancer types and treatments.
Weston, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Bay Pines, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05702645Recruiting
Down syndrome long-term study after leukemia treatment
This study follows children and young adults with Down syndrome who have survived acute leukemia (ALL or AML) to learn about their longer-term health after treatment ends. It may help families and doctors understand what health problems to watch for and how to provide better follow-up care.
Fort Myers, FloridaAges 6–39 - NCT05711667RecruitingPhase 3
Letermovir to prevent CMV after stem cell transplant in kids
This trial tests whether the medicine letermovir can prevent a common virus (CMV) from coming back after an allogeneic stem cell transplant in children. It may help lower the risk of CMV infection during the vulnerable period right after transplant.

What taking part in a oncology 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.
