PD-L1 antibody drug study for advanced lung and head/neck cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04142437Recruiting
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.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05761223RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of FB849 for adults with measurable cancer lesions
This early-stage trial tests whether FB849 is safe and tolerable, how the body handles it, and whether it shows any early signs of helping cancer. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with at least one measurable tumor spot and your health tests meet study requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT00736749Recruiting
Long-term health check for childhood cancer survivors
This trial tracks the long-term health of people who took part in previous Children's Oncology Group studies. It helps doctors understand the lasting effects of cancer treatment and improve care for survivors.
Toledo, OhioAges Any age - NCT07602855RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination treatment for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new combination of two investigational drugs for people with advanced solid tumors, especially lung cancers. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06979596RecruitingPhase 2
A study of MK-5684 for certain solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called MK-5684 for people with specific types of breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can help shrink or control the cancer when standard treatments have stopped working or are no longer effective.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06823167RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IM-1021 for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug (IM-1021) for people with advanced cancers like lymphoma or solid tumors who have run out of standard options. The drug targets a protein called ROR1, which is found on some cancer cells, and may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Canton, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 1.5 years–40 years - NCT06400472RecruitingPhase 1
Study of drug Sofe-M for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug (Sofe-M) for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including ovarian, endometrial, cervical, lung, breast, pancreatic, or colorectal cancers. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well it works, potentially offering a new treatment option.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 12–85 - NCT06581432RecruitingPhase 2
Zongertinib for advanced cancers with HER2 changes
This trial tests an experimental pill called zongertinib for people with different types of advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called HER2. It's a treatment option when other therapies haven't worked, and it may help shrink or slow the cancer.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06470971RecruitingPhase 2
Siltuximab to prevent severe side effects during immunotherapy rechallenge
This trial tests if siltuximab can prevent severe immune-related side effects when patients restart immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) after previous severe side effects. It aims to make rechallenge safer for people with advanced cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06513962RecruitingPhase 3
Triptorelin to protect ovaries in young women with cancer
This study tests whether a medicine called triptorelin can protect the ovaries in young women and teens receiving strong chemotherapy for cancer. If you are newly diagnosed with a cancer (other than breast cancer) and are about to get certain chemotherapy drugs, this trial may help preserve your fertility.

Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.

Testing novobiocin for tumors with DNA repair gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests whether novobiocin is safe and finds the best dose for people whose tumors have specific DNA repair gene mutations. It may help if your cancer is hard to treat with standard options, including certain patients who already tried PARP inhibitors.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04165798Recruiting
Pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab alone, or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, can treat stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes by boosting the immune system, with or without added chemotherapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05178472Recruiting
Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.

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.

- Are there solid tumor cancer clinical trials in Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 174 recruiting solid tumor cancer studies with a site in Ohio, 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 solid tumor cancer study in Ohio?
- 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 Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, 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.
