Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT04902443RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide and nivolumab for virus-related cancers
This trial tests two drugs (pomalidomide and nivolumab) in people with cancers caused by viruses. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT03300830Recruiting
Testing tumors linked to viruses, HIV, and immune disorders
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue to learn what drives certain cancers and growths linked to viruses, HIV, and immune system problems. Results may help researchers understand disease causes and point to better future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06375122Recruiting
A study of Kaposi sarcoma over time
This study follows people with Kaposi sarcoma to learn more about the disease and how it changes over time. It may help doctors better understand and treat KS in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04941274RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib for Kaposi sarcoma in people with or without HIV
This Phase 1/2 study tests the medicine abemaciclib to shrink Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions and control the disease. It includes both people with HIV and people without HIV, and may help when KS has not responded well to prior treatment or when certain KS stages are present.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06066138RecruitingPhase 1
Trial: Adjusting Atezolizumab Dose Based on Drug Levels in Blood
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab (Tecentriq) based on its levels in your blood works well. You may be able to join if you have advanced cancer and your doctor already plans to give you this drug (alone or with other approved treatments).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07458347RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors with a KRAS mutation
This trial tests a new pill, KST-6051, for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer) that have a specific genetic change called a KRAS mutation. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer, and to find the best dose.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06975293RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
STC-15 with toripalimab for advanced cancers and sarcomas
This trial tests a new drug called STC-15, either alone or with another drug (toripalimab), for people with certain advanced cancers or sarcomas that have progressed after prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination or single drug can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07374848RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ZL-6201 for sarcoma and some solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ZL-6201 for people with sarcoma or certain solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps shrink tumors.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 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.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03715933RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug INBRX-109 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests INBRX-109, a cancer-targeting drug, in people whose solid cancers are locally advanced or spread to other parts of the body. Because it’s Phase 1, the main goal is to see whether it’s safe and how well it can work for different tumor types that meet specific requirements.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 12–85 - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Randallstown, MarylandAges 19–110 - NCT07297979RecruitingPhase 1
Xaluritamig for relapsed or refractory Ewing sarcoma
This trial is testing a new drug called xaluritamig for children, teens, and adults with Ewing sarcoma that has come back or is not responding to treatment. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink the cancer or stop it from growing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT04305691RecruitingPhase 2
Ixazomib for skin Kaposi sarcoma in people with HIV
This trial studies ixazomib (a targeted anti-cancer medicine) to treat cutaneous (skin) Kaposi sarcoma. It aims to shrink measurable skin lesions and improve symptoms, especially in people living with HIV.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03465592RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab after mismatched bone marrow transplant for sarcoma
This trial studies nivolumab (an immune treatment) in people with sarcoma who already had a partially mismatched bone marrow transplant. It may help the new immune system recognize and attack cancer, and researchers will also watch closely for side effects like GVHD (immune reaction after transplant) and autoimmune problems.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–40 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03244020Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Aspirin or low-dose blood thinner after bone or leg surgery
This trial compares aspirin versus a low-dose injectable blood thinner (LMWH) to prevent blood clots after certain orthopedic cancer surgeries. It may help lower the risk of dangerous clotting while balancing bleeding and side effects.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
