Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Asheboro, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT06796907RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mocertatug rezetecan with other drugs for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, mocertatug rezetecan, combined with other anti-cancer therapies for people with advanced solid tumors like endometrial or ovarian cancer. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 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.

Testing a new drug BNT326 for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new medicine called BNT326, alone or with another drug BNT327, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and might help shrink tumors.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT01137825Recruiting
Older patient cancer registry for a health check
This study is a registry that collects information from older adults who may be dealing with cancer. It includes a short health and function check to help doctors understand needs and guide care, even for people who turn out not to have cancer.
Hendersonville, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Match FDA cancer drugs to a tumor gene change
This trial tests FDA-approved cancer medicines in people with advanced cancer whose tumor has a specific gene or protein abnormality. It tries to see whether targeting that tumor “fingerprint” can help when standard treatments no longer work.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 12 years+ - NCT05327010RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combination for advanced solid tumors
This trial is studying whether a new combination of two cancer drugs, ZEN003694 and talazoparib, can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. Talazoparib is a type of drug that targets cancer cells with certain DNA repair problems. The study is divided into groups based on specific gene mutations or previous treatment responses.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1–21 - NCT06586515RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for cancers with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests a new pill (LY3962673) for people whose cancer has a specific DNA change called KRAS G12D. The drug aims to block the faulty protein that helps the cancer grow, and the study will look at safety and whether the tumor shrinks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT00571389Recruiting
Collecting blood cells from people with cancer or COVID-19
This study collects blood cells using a special blood-draw procedure called leukapheresis (for some participants) and other samples. It aims to better understand cancer and immune-related cells, which may help researchers design or improve future treatments.
Huntersville, North CarolinaAges 5 years+ - NCT05005403RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.
Huntersville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06989489Recruiting
Daily oral chemo adherence support program
This study is testing a program to help people stick with their daily oral chemo pill. It is for adults who have been taking a single oral cancer treatment for at least six months and want extra support.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active

Tracking how larotrectinib works for NTRK fusion cancers in routine care
This study follows people with cancers that have an NTRK gene fusion to learn how safe and effective larotrectinib is during everyday treatment. It may help confirm whether this medicine works well in real-world patients and side effects stay manageable.

What taking part in a solid tumor cancer 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.
