Recruiting studies near Memphis
- NCT07514819Recruiting

This study tests a new way to plan proton radiation therapy (a precise type of cancer treatment) for children with solid tumors or Hodgkin's lymphoma. The goal is to improve how doctors adapt treatment during therapy to better target tumors while protecting healthy tissue.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02530658Recruiting
Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT04897321RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for children with B7-H3 solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR T cells) made from your own cells to treat children’s solid tumors that have a specific marker called B7-H3. It is designed for kids whose cancer has come back or did not respond to standard treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and keep the therapy safe.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–30 - NCT04764357Recruiting

Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 20 years - NCT06579469Recruiting
Study of later effects of CAR T cell therapy
This study follows children and young adults who received CAR T cell therapy to understand any long-term side effects that may appear months to years later. By joining, you help researchers learn how to better care for patients after this treatment.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 30 years - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06162221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RAS inhibitors for advanced RAS-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has a KRAS G12C, G12D, or other RAS mutation and who have already tried standard treatments.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT03526835RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MCLA-158 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new experimental drug called MCLA-158 (petosemtamab) for people with advanced solid tumors, especially head and neck cancer or colorectal cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1–30 - NCT04871542Recruiting
Predicting risk of immune therapy side effects
This study tries to predict who is more likely to get serious side effects from immune checkpoint medicines used for solid tumors. You may help researchers by answering questionnaires before treatment and during follow-up, and by possibly storing sample specimens.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT01050296Recruiting
Study of tumor samples to guide treatment for childhood cancers
This study collects and studies tissue or bone marrow samples from certain childhood tumors. The goal is to learn what’s going on inside the cancer (using molecular testing) to better understand the disease and how it may respond to treatment.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 25 years - NCT03093116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for ALK, ROS1, or NTRK tumor gene changes
This trial studies repotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene rearrangements (ALK, ROS1, or NTRK). It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth based on the patient’s tumor genetic result.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 12 years+ - NCT04084067RecruitingPhase 1
ICG dye helps surgeons remove tumors
This early-phase study tests whether a special dye can help doctors see a tumor more clearly during surgery in children and young people. If you have a solid tumor or certain lymphomas that need removal, the dye may help guide the surgeon to the right tissue.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT04094610RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for kids with certain cancer gene changes
This early-phase study tests repotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in children and young adults whose tumors have specific gene changes involving ROS1 or NTRK. It may help shrink advanced cancers that carry these gene alterations.

The drug will be given alone or with chemotherapy (gemcitabine or irinotecan) depending on the part of the trial.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07416123RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors

Study of IMP1734 for Advanced Solid Tumors with HRR Mutations
This trial tests a new drug called IMP1734 for people with advanced breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer that has a specific genetic change called an HRR mutation. The drug targets a protein called PARP1 to try to stop cancer cells from repairing themselves.

Test drug XL309 for advanced tumors with HRR gene changes
This early-phase study tests XL309 (and sometimes a mix of XL309 with another treatment) in people whose advanced solid tumors have specific DNA-repair gene changes, such as BRCA1/2 or other HRR-related changes. It aims to see how well the drug works and what dose is safest for these cancers.

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.
