Recruiting studies in Illinois
- NCT06695845RecruitingPhase 2
Study of zanidatamab for HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called zanidatamab in people with advanced solid tumors that have high levels of HER2 protein (called HER2-positive). It aims to see if zanidatamab can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.

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.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06819007RecruitingPhase 3
Study of trastuzumab deruxtecan plus bevacizumab for HER2-positive ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether adding trastuzumab deruxtecan to standard maintenance therapy with bevacizumab works better than bevacizumab alone for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has the HER2 protein. It is for those who have finished initial chemotherapy plus bevacizumab and are now starting maintenance treatment.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05005403RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.

This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Aurora, IllinoisAges 19–110 - NCT05974150Recruiting
Remote symptom monitoring for several blood and cancer types
This study checks how well remote (at-home) symptom check-ins work for people with certain cancers. It may help patients and clinicians spot problems earlier and improve day-to-day care during treatment and beyond.

Testing abemaciclib plus olaparib for recurrent ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding abemaciclib to olaparib can treat women with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the combination can control the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04590326RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of REGN5668 with or without immunotherapy in ovarian cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe REGN5668 is and how well it works in adult women with advanced gynecologic cancers. It compares REGN5668 given with cemiplimab alone, or cemiplimab plus fianlimab, and looks for responses in tumors that meet specific criteria.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06276491RecruitingPhase 1
XmAb541 for advanced solid tumors
This phase 1 trial tests a new drug, XmAb541, for people with advanced solid tumors (ovarian, endometrial, or germ cell tumors) that have not responded to previous treatments. The trial focuses on people whose tumors have a specific protein called CLDN6 and aims to find a safe and effective dose.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 15 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.
Aurora, IllinoisAges 35–50 - 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.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced cancers that have limited options
This Phase 1 study tests NX-1607 in adults with advanced cancers that are hard to treat with standard care. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the drug may work in specific cancer types.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06840886RecruitingPhase 1

Test drug azenosertib for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests azenosertib to treat platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It looks for whether the drug can shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people whose cancer has returned after platinum chemotherapy.
Niles, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial checks whether adding chemotherapy after standard hormone-blocking treatment works better for some premenopausal women with early-stage, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It targets patients with limited lymph node spread and a lower-to-intermediate tumor “recurrence” risk score.
Alton, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.

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.

- Do I have to live in Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, 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.
