Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06315491RecruitingPhase 2
CBX-12 for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CBX-12 for people with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if CBX-12 can shrink tumors or slow the cancer down.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06366490RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine made from your own tumor cells. It is for women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned after at least one round of platinum chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.

Study of a new drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug called TORL-1-23 for people with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink or control the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07406087Recruiting

Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07186296Recruiting
Emerald blood test study for new cancer diagnosis
This study is testing a blood test that looks for signs of lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, or ovarian cancer. If you have just been told you might have one of these cancers and haven't started treatment yet, this study may be an option to help learn more about your cancer from a simple blood draw.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT07444814RecruitingPhase 1
HWK-007 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called HWK-007, which is designed to target and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. It is for people with specific advanced solid tumors (lung, endometrial, or ovarian cancer) that have not responded well to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447050RecruitingPhase 2
Riluzole to Prevent Chemo-Related Cognitive Problems
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05377996RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced solid tumors with tumor tissue testing
This early-stage study tests emiltatug leda-dotin (Emi-Le) in people with advanced or recurring solid cancers. It aims to see how the drug works and how safely it can be given, using tumor tissue testing to help understand who may benefit.

This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin) and a targeted drug (mirvetuximab soravtansine) given through a vein. It is for people with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has a specific protein called folate receptor alpha (FRα) on at least 75% of tumor cells.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218809RecruitingPhase 3
Comparison of AZD5335 vs standard treatments for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug, AZD5335, against standard treatments (mirvetuximab soravtansine or chemotherapy) for women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. It aims to see if AZD5335 works better based on the level of a protein called FRα on your tumor cells.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06293898RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, BL-M07D1, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a protein called HER2. It is for patients who have already tried at least two other standard treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06515613RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CTIM-76 for recurrent ovarian and other advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug, CTIM-76, in people whose ovarian, testicular, or endometrial cancer has come back and is not responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.

FT836 immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new immune cell therapy called FT836, given alone or with chemotherapy or other antibodies, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps shrink or control tumors.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01034033Recruiting
Blood and tumor genetic study for BRCA and related risks
This study collects blood (and possibly tumor tissue) to learn how certain inherited gene changes relate to breast and ovarian cancer risk. It may help researchers understand which people are most likely to develop these cancers and how tumors differ in high-risk patients.

Study of Avutometinib + Defactinib for recurrent low-grade ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral targeted drugs for people with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this therapy works better than standard hormone therapy or chemotherapy options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06710288RecruitingPhase 2
Immune cell therapy plus chemo for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy for advanced ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum-based chemo. You will receive your own immune cells (M-CENK) boosted with an immune stimulator (N-803) plus chemotherapy (gemcitabine) to see if this helps fight the cancer.
El Segundo, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT04606914RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin plus mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo
This Phase 2 study tests adding mirvetuximab to carboplatin for people with advanced, high-grade serous ovarian cancer who will first receive “neoadjuvant” chemotherapy. It is designed for tumors that strongly show FRα, which mirvetuximab targets, to see if this improves outcomes.

What taking part in a ovarian cancer 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 ovarian cancer clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 102 recruiting ovarian cancer studies with a site in California, 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 ovarian cancer study in California?
- 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 California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, 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 ovarian cancer 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 ovarian cancer studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
