Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07563829RecruitingPhase 1
NPX372 immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests NPX372, a new type of immunotherapy designed to fight several types of advanced cancer that haven't responded to standard treatments. It works by combining two immune signals to help your body's immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT07189195RecruitingPhase 1
TR-002 for advanced solid tumors and pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called TR-002 in people with advanced solid tumors (cancer that has spread) who have run out of standard treatment options. It includes a specific group for people with pancreatic cancer that is no longer responding to chemotherapy.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05227326RecruitingPhase 1
A new drug for solid cancers that did not respond to usual care
This early-stage (Phase 1) trial tests AOH1996 in adults with solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It’s meant to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help, especially in cancers with limited options.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT04678648RecruitingPhase 1
Testing RSC-1255 in advanced cancers with RAS changes
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new drug, RSC-1255, in people with advanced or metastatic cancers that have RAS mutations. It’s mainly focused on whether the treatment can be given safely and at what dose, and to see if it may shrink tumors.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT07630974RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Cancer Drug for Children With Hard-to-Treat Solid Tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan in children whose solid tumors (cancers that form lumps, excluding brain tumors) have come back or stopped responding to previous treatments. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells while potentially causing fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT06941272RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of patritumab deruxtecan for children with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, patritumab deruxtecan, in children and adolescents whose rhabdomyosarcoma or hepatoblastoma has returned or not responded to at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT06131840RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SGN-CEACAM5C for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SGN-CEACAM5C in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to try to stop them from growing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called NKT3964 for people with certain advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05208762RecruitingPhase 1
PD-L1 antibody drug study for advanced lung and head/neck cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.

What taking part in a refractory malignant solid neoplasm 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 malignant solid neoplasm clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 16 recruiting refractory malignant solid neoplasm studies with a site in California, 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 malignant solid neoplasm study in California?
- 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 California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, 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 malignant solid neoplasm 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.
