We’re tracking 192 recruiting solid tumor studies with a site in Massachusetts — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT06797336RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PT0253 for advanced KRAS G12D mutated tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called PT0253 for people with advanced or metastatic cancers that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The drug may help shrink or slow the growth of these tumors, and the study will also check for side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05901285RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine injected into tumors plus immunotherapy for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a cancer vaccine (VAX014) injected directly into a tumor, given alone at first and then with an immune checkpoint medicine (nivolumab or pembrolizumab). It aims to see how well this approach is tolerated and may help shrink advanced solid tumors after other treatments stopped working.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06265727RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CRB-701 for solid tumors with nectin-4
This trial tests a new drug, CRB-701, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a protein called nectin-4 on their surface. It might be an option if other treatments have stopped working or are not available.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06265688RecruitingPhase 1
First study of CX-2051 for advanced solid tumors
This study is testing a new drug called CX-2051 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is a type of targeted therapy that delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells, and the goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05836324RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of an anti-cancer drug for advanced tumors

Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04796012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for children with recurrent solid tumors
This trial tests whether a cancer immunotherapy medicine (atezolizumab) given together with chemotherapy can shrink or control solid tumors that have come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It focuses on children and young adults, including a special subgroup for rhabdomyosarcoma.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 months–30 years - NCT04094610RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Repotrectinib for kids with certain cancer gene changes

Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 25 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04370587RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Injecting a cancer medicine into tumors plus pembrolizumab
This Phase 1/2 study tests a medicine injected directly into a tumor, alone or with pembrolizumab (an immune-therapy drug given through a vein). It is for people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have grown despite standard treatments, aiming to improve tumor control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there solid tumor clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 192 recruiting solid tumor studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 study in Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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.
- Does it cost anything to join a solid tumor trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
