Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT07377747Recruiting
Study of treatment for recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma
This study looks at how well standard treatments work for people whose liposarcoma has come back in the same area. It helps doctors understand best ways to manage this rare cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT01659203RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton or photon radiation for retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial tests two types of external beam radiation—protons or photons—in people with retroperitoneal (in the back of the abdomen) soft tissue sarcoma. It’s an early-phase study meant to see how well the radiation can control measurable tumors while tracking safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06239272RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized treatment for NRSTS in children and young adults
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults with a type of soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS). It uses a combination of surgery, targeted radiation, and two drugs (pazopanib and selinexor) to fight cancer while reducing side effects. The study is looking for people who have not been treated before for this sarcoma.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 30 years - NCT05225428Recruiting
Video education program based on personal genetic result disclosure
This study tests a video-based education approach that shares information differently depending on someone’s genetic test results. It may help people better understand cancer-related genetic information and what it could mean for them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04031677RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery with or without chemotherapy for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04079179RecruitingPhase 2
Cobimetinib for difficult Langerhans cell and similar disorders
This Phase 2 trial studies cobimetinib, a medicine that targets a specific growth-and-signal pathway, to treat stubborn (refractory or worsening) Langerhans cell histiocytosis and related disorders. It may help shrink active disease or stop disease from progressing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07467772RecruitingPhase 2
Elacestrant for estrogen receptor-positive uterine sarcoma
This trial tests whether elacestrant, a drug that blocks estrogen, can help people with certain types of uterine sarcoma that have strong estrogen receptors. It may slow or stop cancer growth in tumors that rely on estrogen.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Jamaica Plain, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT06541262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Silmitasertib plus chemo for relapsed solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, silmitasertib, combined with standard chemotherapy for children and young adults with cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges Up to 30 years - NCT07615049RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter versus standard radiation for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation therapy with the standard longer course for people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg. The goal is to see if the shorter course works just as well and may be more convenient.
Manchester, New HampshireAges 18 years+

What taking part in a sarcoma 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.
