Carboplatin and mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin) and a targeted drug (mirvetuximab soravtansine) given through a vein. It is for people with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has a specific protein called folate receptor alpha (FRα) on at least 75% of tumor cells.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05592626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell activator STAR0602 for advanced solid tumors

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT03739827Recruiting
Study rare solid tumors and collect your health samples
This study follows people (and sometimes family members) connected to rare solid tumors and collects health information and samples (biospecimens). It helps researchers understand how these cancers develop and builds resources for future research, which may benefit you by contributing to better tailored care for rare cancers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06606990RecruitingPhase 1
Testing the drug CX-5461 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CX-5461 (also known as pidnarulex) in people whose cancer has spread and hasn't been helped by standard treatments. It looks at how your body responds to the drug, which may target cancers with specific DNA repair problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03412877RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized immune-cell therapy for advanced metastatic cancers
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy made from your own immune cells, changed to recognize “neoantigens” on cancer cells. It’s designed for people with metastatic (advanced spread) solid cancers or certain other cancers who have tried standard treatments but cancer is still growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of metarrestin for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called metarrestin for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after standard treatment. It may help by targeting a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT07672483RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for solid tumors that returned after treatment
This trial tests a new type of gene therapy that uses your own immune cells (called myeloid cells) engineered to produce a protein (IL-12) to fight your cancer. It is for people with solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02154022Enrolling by invitation
Testing extra blood samples in patients with unexpected drug effects
This study collects extra lab samples from people already taking experimental or approved cancer treatments at NIH. It helps researchers understand why you may be having an unexpected response or side effects, and whether drug levels in the body might be the cause.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT05687136RecruitingPhase 1
Study two targeted drugs for solid tumors with DNA repair changes
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective two anti-cancer drugs (peposertib and tuvusertib) are for advanced solid tumors. It focuses on cancers with specific DNA repair and cell-growth gene changes, aiming to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard treatments have stopped working.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.

Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
