Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- NCT05887609RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment for FRalpha-positive ovarian or endometrial cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of two medicines (mirvetuximab soravtansine and olaparib) as ongoing “maintenance” treatment after your best response to prior platinum chemotherapy. It may help keep cancer from growing longer in certain women whose tumors strongly match a specific marker (FRalpha).
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT06824467RecruitingPhase 3
Maintenance Therapy Study for Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07282834RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two types of heated chemo for abdominal cancer spread
This trial tests if giving heated chemotherapy as a mist (aerosol) is better than as a liquid for cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. It is for people who have already had at least three months of standard chemo but still have disease and cannot have surgery right now.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06787612RecruitingPhase 2
New combination for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This study tests a new combination treatment (ubamatamab plus another drug) for people with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. It could be an option if your cancer has kept growing despite prior treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06016179RecruitingPhase 1
Tocilizumab given through fluid-draining tubes for advanced cancer
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab, which is given through the tube that drains fluid from your chest or belly. The goal is to see if it can help control cancer-related fluid buildup and improve symptoms.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT05001880RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo with or without immunotherapy for peritoneal mesothelioma
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy helps people with peritoneal mesothelioma, a cancer in the lining of the abdomen. You may receive chemotherapy alone or with immunotherapy, and the goal is to improve cancer control.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06057935RecruitingPhase 2
Extra chemotherapy after surgery for peritoneal mesothelioma
This trial tests whether adding more chemotherapy directly into the belly after surgery can improve outcomes for people with a specific type of peritoneal mesothelioma. It may help reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906341RecruitingPhase 2
Relacorilant combo for gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a drug called relacorilant combined with different treatments for ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancers. It may help patients whose cancer has stopped responding to standard therapies.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05659381RecruitingPhase 3
Heated belly chemo plus niraparib after interval surgery for ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether heated chemotherapy placed inside the belly, followed by interval surgery and the maintenance medicine niraparib, can improve outcomes for certain advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. It focuses on people whose tumors are HRD/LOH positive and who can have all visible disease removed.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05071937RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus ZEN003694 for recurrent ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining ZEN003694 with talazoparib can slow or shrink recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It is designed for people who have already been treated with a PARP inhibitor before, and it may help if that cancer comes back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06730347RecruitingPhase 2
Study of lorigerlimab for advanced ovarian and other cancers
This trial tests a new drug, lorigerlimab, for people with certain types of ovarian cancer or related cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001592RecruitingPhase 1
Injection of a modified virus for advanced GI and peritoneal cancers
This trial tests a modified virus injected directly into tumors to treat metastatic gastrointestinal and peritoneal cancers. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–69 - NCT06682988RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a drug called mirvetuximab soravtansine for people with platinum-resistant ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has high levels of a protein called folate receptor-alpha (FRα). It is given through a vein (IV) and aims to stop cancer from growing.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05538091RecruitingPhase 2
Testing vismodegib plus atezolizumab for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining vismodegib with atezolizumab can slow or shrink platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It targets cancers that grow again within 6 months after platinum chemotherapy.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06469281RecruitingPhase 1
A new immune cell therapy for recurring ovarian cancer
This early-phase trial tests a new immune cell therapy called 27T51, which targets a protein called MUC16 found on ovarian cancer cells. The study is for people with recurrent or treatment-resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer to see if the therapy is safe and works when given alone or with other treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05579366RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of rinatabart sesutecan for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called rinatabart sesutecan (also known as Rina-S) for people with advanced solid tumors, including ovarian, endometrial, lung, breast, and other cancers. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells, and the study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06890338RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin and mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer
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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.

What taking part in a peritoneal 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.
