Study of IDE892 for advanced solid tumors with MTAP deletion
This study tests a new drug called IDE892, alone or in combination, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change (MTAP deletion). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Horsham, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04657068RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ART0380 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called ART0380 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be especially helpful for those with certain DNA repair gene changes (like ATM or BRCA). The drug will be given alone or with chemotherapy (gemcitabine or irinotecan) depending on the part of the trial.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - 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.

What taking part in a pancreatic carcinoma 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.
