Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT01775072Recruiting
Genetic testing using stored or new cancer samples
This study collects and analyzes genetic information from tissue or blood samples to help understand cancer and related inherited (family) risk. It may involve testing results being shared with you or your care team, depending on what samples are available.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06276491RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of an investigational drug for advanced cancer with the CLDN6 marker
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with advanced solid tumors, especially ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, endometrial, or germ cell cancers that have a specific marker called CLDN6. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 15 years+ - NCT06720987RecruitingPhase 1
KQB365 for advanced solid tumors with KRAS mutations
This trial tests a new drug called KQB365, alone or with other drugs, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation (G12C or G12S). It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective.

CX-5461 for cancers with BRCA or HRD gene changes
This Phase 1 trial tests CX-5461, a new cancer medicine, in people with certain solid tumors that have BRCA1/2 or related “HRD” gene mutations. The goal is to find out how the drug works, what dose is tolerable, and whether it can help shrink tumors.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug testing for advanced cancer with tumor gene changes

Study of BGB-B2033 with other drugs for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called BGB-B2033, alone or with other drugs (tislelizumab and bevacizumab), in people with certain advanced cancers. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to check its safety.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05372640RecruitingPhase 1
Drug combo trial for rare cancers with shared NUT features
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs (ZEN003694 and abemaciclib) in teens and adults with metastatic or unresectable NUT carcinoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors. It may help by finding a safer dose and whether the drug combination can shrink or control tumors that do not respond to standard treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT03486873RecruitingPhase 3
Study extension for people on pembrolizumab, testing long-term safety
This trial follows people with advanced tumors who are already on pembrolizumab (or similar treatment) to check long-term safety and effectiveness. It may help your care team by monitoring benefits and side effects over a longer period.
Easton, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06756035RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CT-95 in advanced cancers with mesothelin
This trial tests a new drug (CT-95) for advanced cancers that have a marker called mesothelin. It's an early-phase study to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00736749Recruiting
Long-term health check for childhood cancer survivors
This trial tracks the long-term health of people who took part in previous Children's Oncology Group studies. It helps doctors understand the lasting effects of cancer treatment and improve care for survivors.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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.

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.
