Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06651580Recruiting
Gene study for kids with pancreas problems
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 17 years - NCT06796543Recruiting
Radiation for young patients with sarcoma that has spread
This trial tests whether targeted radiation can help children and young adults with sarcoma that has spread to a few spots in the body. It's for those who are newly diagnosed (Stratum A) or whose sarcoma has come back or worsened (Stratum B).
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 39 years - NCT05658731Recruiting
Radiation planning study to protect thinking in children
This study compares how radiation is planned to see whether it better protects thinking and memory in children and young adults. It may help future patients by learning which planning approach leads to better cognitive (thinking) outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–26 - NCT07129317Recruiting
Pediatric radiation therapy registry
This study collects information from children and young adults who are getting radiation therapy to help improve future treatments. It looks at how radiation affects the body over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges birth–26 years - NCT01109394Recruiting
Help study tumors with sample testing and a research biology library
This study collects tumor (or related) samples to analyze their genes and build a shared research “biobank.” It may help researchers understand cancers better for future diagnosis and treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks+ - NCT03739827Recruiting
Study rare solid tumors and collect your health samples
This study follows people (and sometimes family members) connected to rare solid tumors and collects health information and samples (biospecimens). It helps researchers understand how these cancers develop and builds resources for future research, which may benefit you by contributing to better tailored care for rare cancers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks+ - NCT00001186Recruiting
Camping for children and teens with cancer
This study looks at whether a special camp experience helps children and young adults with cancer feel better emotionally and socially. Campers participate in normal camp activities while receiving any medical care they need.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–25 - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of metarrestin for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called metarrestin for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after standard treatment. It may help by targeting a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT02315599Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for delayed side effects after gene-cell therapy
This study checks people for delayed side effects after receiving gene-based cell therapy from the NIH. It helps doctors learn what problems may happen later and how to monitor them safely.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–99 - NCT04717349Recruiting
Study collects health information for kids’ and teens’ gynecology concerns
This is a research study that gathers information about pediatric and adolescent gynecology conditions. It may help researchers better understand these issues by learning about symptoms, care, and outcomes—without requiring a specific treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - NCT06303193RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a kinase inhibitor drug for MDS and MDS/MPN in adults and teens
This trial tests a drug called pacritinib in people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN). The drug targets several proteins that may help control the disease, especially for those who have not responded to other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT07489378Recruiting
Rare cancer registry for children and young adults
This trial is creating a registry for very rare solid tumors in people up to age 39. Joining helps doctors learn more about these cancers and may connect you with future research opportunities.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT05350748Recruiting
MDS study using detailed tests on blood and bone marrow
This study carefully evaluates people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and closely related blood disorders using detailed medical, blood, and bone marrow testing. The goal is to better understand these conditions and how they progress, which may help guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–120 years - NCT05528939Recruiting
Training attention skills for children after cancer
This trial tests a computer-based “attention-control training” program to see if it’s doable and helpful for children who finished treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or a brain tumor. It also looks at how acceptable the program is for both kids and caregivers.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 8–16 - NCT06892158Recruiting
Massage therapy for sleep in teens with cancer
This trial studies if massage therapy can help teenagers and young adults with cancer sleep better while they are in the hospital. Participants will receive massage sessions and answer questions about their sleep.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12–21

What taking part in a pediatric 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.
