Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT06443866Recruiting
I-124 PET/CT Imaging for Thyroid Cancer
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (I-124) to see where thyroid cancer is in your body and how much radiation it would get from radioactive iodine therapy. It helps doctors plan treatment for people whose cancer may not respond to standard radioactive iodine or who are being considered for targeted medicines.
North Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03686124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested immune therapy for certain HLA-A2 positive solid tumors
This trial studies an immune-based cancer treatment (IMA203/IMA203CD8) either alone or with nivolumab in people whose solid tumors have come back or will not respond to standard care. It may help by training the immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells that match the trial’s test requirements.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06315491RecruitingPhase 2
CBX-12 for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CBX-12 for people with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if CBX-12 can shrink tumors or slow the cancer down.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05579366RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced ovarian and other solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies Rinatabart Sesutecan to treat advanced cancers, with special focus on certain ovarian cancer types. It’s meant for people whose cancer has come back or has not responded to prior treatments.

Testing an anti-cancer drug alone and with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests GV20-0251 (an anti-cancer treatment) by itself and combined with pembrolizumab, to see how well it works and how safe it is. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite standard treatments, or where standard treatments aren’t an option.

Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.
Lake Mary, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05053971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Entinostat plus ZEN003694 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new combination anti-cancer treatment (entinostat plus ZEN003694) in people with advanced solid tumors that can’t be controlled with standard care. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or control the disease.

Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BAL0891, a new study treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have run out of treatment options, or in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well it may work in these hard-to-treat cancers.

What taking part in a refractory 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 refractory cancer clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 38 recruiting refractory cancer studies with a site in Florida, 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 refractory cancer study in Florida?
- 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 Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, 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 refractory 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 refractory cancer studies open in Florida regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
