Recruiting studies in District of Columbia
- NCT05333458RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus selinexor for advanced alveolar soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining atezolizumab with selinexor can slow or shrink advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) in people age 12 and older. It may help by improving the immune system’s ability to fight the cancer and stopping cancer cell growth signals.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12 years+ - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–30 - NCT05734066RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lurbinectedin drug study for young people with Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests lurbinectedin, a cancer medicine, by itself (no other drugs) in children and young adults whose Ewing sarcoma has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to see how safe the drug is and whether it can help control the cancer.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2–30 - 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).
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 39 years - NCT05663502Recruiting
Donate blood and tissue samples for HIV-related cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples to help researchers learn more about cancers related to HIV/AIDS. You may be able to join if you’re 18+ and have HIV and a cancer diagnosis, or (if HIV-negative) a certain cancer that is closely linked to AIDS-related cancers.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05697874Recruiting
Rare brain tumor registry for children and young adults
This study is a global registry that collects information about people with rare or hard-to-classify brain tumors (including certain genetic tumor changes). It helps researchers learn more about these tumors and may guide future studies and treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 45 years - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–30 - NCT07172958RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for children with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy called CAR T cells that are designed to recognize and attack cancer cells in children and young adults with certain solid tumors that have come back or not responded to standard treatment.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–23 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 40–75 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT04389281RecruitingPhase 1
X-ray light-activated therapy for hard-to-treat skin tumors
This early-phase study tests an X-ray–activated medicine that is delivered directly into selected tumors to help control cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. If the injected area can be treated safely, it may shrink or slow the tumor and improve local control.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05135975RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib maintenance to help stop pediatric cancer from growing
This trial studies cabozantinib given after standard treatment to try to keep high-risk pediatric solid tumors from coming back or getting worse. It is offered to children and young adults whose cancer has not fully disappeared but is not progressing at the start of this maintenance phase.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1.5 years–40 years - NCT05917301Recruiting
Pre-surgery proton radiation for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial studies a shorter-course proton radiation plan given before surgery for certain soft tissue sarcomas. The goal is to treat the tumor locally while helping surgery be safer or more effective.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there sarcoma clinical trials in District of Columbia?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 15 recruiting sarcoma studies with a site in District of Columbia, 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 sarcoma study in District of Columbia?
- 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 District of Columbia to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in District of Columbia, 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 sarcoma 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?
