Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT06108050RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug alone and with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called JZP898, given alone or with pembrolizumab, for adults with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05150691RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study of an HER2 drug in advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests DB-1303 and BNT323 together in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have specific HER2 features. It may be an option when standard treatments have stopped working, aiming to find a safer dose and early signs of effectiveness.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06241456RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental CAR-T cells targeting HER2 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental 'off-the-shelf' CAR-T cell therapy (called FT825/ONO-8250) that targets a protein called HER2 found on some solid tumors. It may be given alone or with other antibodies to help fight advanced cancer that has not responded to standard treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06445062RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of new RAS inhibitors for GI solid tumors
This trial tests new drugs that target specific RAS mutations in advanced gastrointestinal cancers, like pancreatic or colorectal cancer. It aims to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07630974RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Cancer Drug for Children With Hard-to-Treat Solid Tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan in children whose solid tumors (cancers that form lumps, excluding brain tumors) have come back or stopped responding to previous treatments. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells while potentially causing fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT03686124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04145622RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ifinatamab deruxtecan for advanced hard-to-treat solid cancers
This early-stage trial tests an investigational antibody-drug medicine (ifinatamab deruxtecan) in people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see whether it can shrink tumors or help control cancer, and to learn about side effects and the best way to use it.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT03947385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
First drug test for metastatic uveal melanoma with specific gene changes
This Phase 1/2 trial studies IDE196 in adults with metastatic uveal melanoma that has certain gene mutations or fusions. It’s mainly testing safety and correct dosing, and may help shrink tumors in patients matched to the tumor’s genetic changes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05557045RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of an oral pill for MAPK-driven advanced solid tumors

Belzutifan for cancers linked to VHL or HIF-2α changes
This Phase 2 study tests belzutifan (MK-6482) to treat certain advanced cancers caused by specific gene or disease changes, including VHL-related tumors and HIF-2α related tumors. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth in people whose cancer matches these genetic or disease patterns.

What taking part in a solid tumor 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.
