Recruiting studies in Ohio
- 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 30 years - 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT06422806RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo for aggressive sarcoma
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.
Avon, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05734066RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lurbinectedin drug study for young people with Ewing sarcoma

Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06263231RecruitingPhase 3
Study of INT230-6 injection for soft tissue sarcoma
This study tests an experimental drug, INT230-6, injected directly into tumors, compared to the usual treatments for soft tissue sarcoma. It aims to see if the injection is safe and works better for people whose cancer has not responded to earlier treatments.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Akron, OhioAges Up to 45 years - NCT05634369RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NK cell and chemotherapy trial for relapsed soft tissue sarcoma
This early-phase trial studies a type of immune cell treatment (NK cells) made from donor cells, given with chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and docetaxel. It’s for children and young adults whose bone or soft tissue sarcoma has come back or hasn’t responded to prior treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 2–40 - NCT05210374RecruitingPhase 1
Disulfiram plus copper and liposomal chemotherapy for hard-to-treat sarcoma
This early-stage study tests a combination of disulfiram (an anti-alcohol medication), copper, and liposomal doxorubicin (a chemotherapy form) in people with sarcoma that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to shrink or control tumors and improve outcomes when standard options have not worked.

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.
