We’re tracking 32 recruiting sarcoma studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06395103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zilovertamab vedotin for blood cancers and solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zilovertamab vedotin for children and young adults with certain blood cancers or solid tumors. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells, and the study will see if it is safe and effective.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months–25 years - NCT04370587RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Injecting a cancer medicine into tumors plus pembrolizumab
This Phase 1/2 study tests a medicine injected directly into a tumor, alone or with pembrolizumab (an immune-therapy drug given through a vein). It is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have grown despite standard treatments, aiming to improve tumor control.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735184RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib with AML medicines for NPM1- or KMT2A-mutated leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerable ziftomenib is when combined with standard AML medicines (like venetoclax and azacitidine, and other chemo options) in people with AML. It’s for AML patients who have specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement) and helps doctors find the best, safest dose plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05642455RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new treatment for certain childhood cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests a new therapy for children and young adults with specific types of cancer that have been treated with chemotherapy before. It may help by targeting cancer features in the tumor and using your immune system in a controlled way.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–21 - 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.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 40–75 - NCT04719156RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescent dye to check tumor margins during surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a fluorescent dye during tumor surgery can help the surgical team better see where the tumor ends. It may help aim for complete removal and lower the chance of the tumor coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT03959800Recruiting
Study of the causes of childhood liver tumors
This study looks at why childhood liver tumors happen by using samples and information from children who have had a liver tumor and from their close family members. It may help researchers understand the biology of these tumors and guide better treatments in the future.

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 Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 32 recruiting sarcoma studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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?
New sarcoma studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
