Recruiting studies near Raleigh–Durham
- NCT04389281RecruitingPhase 1
X-ray light-activated therapy for hard-to-treat skin tumors
This early-phase study tests an X-ray–activated medicine that is delivered directly into selected tumors to help control cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. If the injected area can be treated safely, it may shrink or slow the tumor and improve local control.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 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.
Durham, 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 - NCT06413680RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of REGN10597 with or without cemiplimab for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called REGN10597, either alone or with cemiplimab, for people with advanced solid tumors (like melanoma or kidney cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Chapel Hill, 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+ - NCT07193511RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, AVZO-103, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced bladder cancer or certain other solid tumors. It aims to find out if the drug is safe and effective.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03454035RecruitingPhase 1
Combination of two study drugs for advanced pancreatic and other solid tumors
This trial tests two drugs, ulixertinib and palbociclib, taken together to see if they can shrink tumors in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, melanoma, or other solid tumors. It may be an option for people who have already tried standard treatments.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT07522073RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without KRAS inhibitor for pancreatic cancer
This study tests whether adding a new drug called INCB161734 to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D mutation). You would be randomly assigned to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus the new drug.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 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.
Chapel Hill, 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+ - NCT05434234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug YL201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests YL201 in people with advanced (late-stage) solid cancers when usual treatments don’t work or can’t be tolerated. The study looks at how the treatment is given, how safe it is, and how well it can shrink tumors.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04939610RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a targeted radiation drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests how safe and effective a targeted radiation medicine (177Lu-FAP-2286) is for people with advanced solid cancers that have limited treatment options. It may help by delivering radiation directly to cancer-related targets and shrinking tumors.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06896162Recruiting
Genetic test to guide first or second treatment for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether using a detailed genetic test of your tumor can help pick the best first or second treatment for advanced lung, colon, breast, or bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03175224RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug APL-101 for lung or other tumors with MET changes
This Phase 2 study tests APL-101 to shrink advanced cancers that have certain MET-related changes, including specific MET mutations, MET gene amplification, or MET fusions. It may help people whose tumors have run out of standard treatment options.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245500RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for solid tumors with MTAP gene deletion
This Phase 1 trial studies MRTX1719, a new medicine, in solid tumors that have a missing MTAP gene (MTAP deletion). It aims to find the safest dose and check how the drug affects the tumor.

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
