Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06276491RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of an investigational drug for advanced cancer with the CLDN6 marker
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with advanced solid tumors, especially ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, endometrial, or germ cell cancers that have a specific marker called CLDN6. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 15 years+ - NCT07213804RecruitingPhase 3
Study of sofetabart mipitecan for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sofetabart mipitecan for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after treatment. It is for those whose cancer is either resistant to platinum chemo (Part A) or sensitive to it (Parts B and C). The study will see if the drug can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04251052Recruiting
Compare two surgeries to lower ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers
This study compares two risk-reducing surgery plans for people with a BRCA1 genetic change to see which approach helps lower ovarian cancer risk. You may be asked to have the study procedure sooner or later depending on your chosen plan.
Huntington Beach, CaliforniaAges 35–50 - NCT06997029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BMS-986500 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BMS-986500, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.

Azenosertib versus chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called azenosertib against standard chemotherapy for ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has come back after platinum-based treatment. The drug targets a specific protein (cyclin E1) found in some tumors and may help stop cancer cells from dividing.
Antioch, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877599RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new type of therapy (NT-175) for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change. It might help if your tumor has the TP53 R175H mutation and you have the HLA-A*02:01 immune marker.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05225363RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum
This Phase 1 study tests a one-time treatment made from your immune cells (CAR T) to attack a protein found on some ovarian cancer cells. It is for people whose ovarian cancer has come back or worsened after platinum chemotherapy, aiming to see safety and early signs of benefit.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07306559RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests different doses of a new drug (BI 3820768) in people with advanced solid tumors, specifically germ cell tumors, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.

Early study drug for advanced solid tumors, alone or with another drug
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new AstraZeneca cancer drug (AZD5335) to see how safely it can be given and how well it works in people with advanced solid tumors. You may get it alone or with another treatment, and you’ll need to provide tumor information (sometimes including a biopsy) for study planning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT05227326RecruitingPhase 1
A new drug for solid cancers that did not respond to usual care
This early-stage (Phase 1) trial tests AOH1996 in adults with solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It’s meant to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help, especially in cancers with limited options.

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 108 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.
