Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT04616560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug for recurrent Wilms tumor, osteosarcoma, and DSRCT
This trial tests a targeted drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan for children and young adults with certain cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. It may help if your tumor has not responded to standard therapies.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–39 - 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.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 50 years - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–30 - NCT07321912RecruitingPhase 2
Eflornithine (DFMO) for Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma
This trial tests a drug called eflornithine (DFMO) for people with Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if DFMO can help control the cancer after standard treatment.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges birth–50 years - NCT06465199RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Eflornithine and AMXT 1501 for Advanced Childhood Cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (eflornithine and AMXT 1501) for children and young adults with certain types of cancer that have relapsed or not responded to standard treatment, or for a specific brain tumor (DIPG) at diagnosis. The goal is to see if this drug pair is safe and effective.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 26 years - NCT05642455RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new treatment for certain childhood cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new therapy for children and young adults with specific types of cancer that have been treated with chemotherapy before. It may help by targeting cancer features in the tumor and using your immune system in a controlled way.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–21 - NCT06156410RecruitingPhase 1
Cabozantinib and ifosfamide for relapsed sarcomas
This study tests a combination of two drugs, cabozantinib and ifosfamide, for sarcomas that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 5–40 - NCT06541262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Silmitasertib plus chemo for relapsed solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, silmitasertib, combined with standard chemotherapy for children and young adults with cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 30 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.

What taking part in a osteosarcoma 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 osteosarcoma clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting osteosarcoma studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 osteosarcoma study in Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 osteosarcoma 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.
