Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06176989RecruitingPhase 2
Enasidenib for IDH2-mutated sinonasal and skull base tumors
This trial tests an oral targeted therapy called enasidenib for people with rare head and neck cancers that have an IDH2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05686226RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests immune cells targeting HPV-16 cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (E7 TCR T cells) designed to attack cancers caused by HPV type 16. It may help people whose HPV-16+ cancer has come back or not responded to standard treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06161545RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving a combination of immunotherapy drugs (pembrolizumab, N-803, and possibly PD-L1 t-haNK cells) before surgery can help treat head and neck cancer that has not been treated yet. It is for people whose cancer is p16-negative (a specific marker) and is at an intermediate or high risk of coming back.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05687149Recruiting
Study of mouth and throat cancer patterns in Fanconi anemia
This study looks at how squamous cell carcinoma (a type of cancer) naturally develops over time in people with Fanconi anemia. It may help doctors better recognize warning signs and plan care in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–90 - NCT04534205RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing BNT113 plus pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone
This trial studies whether adding BNT113 to pembrolizumab works better and is safe for people with HPV16-positive head and neck cancer that can’t be cured with local treatments. It also compares outcomes to pembrolizumab alone, specifically for tumors that show PD-L1 in testing.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07277413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IDE892 for advanced solid tumors with MTAP deletion
This study tests a new drug called IDE892, alone or in combination, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change (MTAP deletion). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04858334RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib after pancreatic cancer surgery for BRCA or PALB2 mutations
This trial studies whether olaparib (a targeted cancer medicine) can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery in people with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations. You would get olaparib or a placebo (inactive pill) and be closely followed to see if recurrence is reduced.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04510597RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus surgery versus immunotherapy alone for kidney cancer
This study tests whether adding surgery to remove the kidney improves outcomes compared with continuing immunotherapy without surgery. It is for people with metastatic kidney cancer whose disease has not worsened after initial immunotherapy.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06525220RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs. standard for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab) compared to pembrolizumab alone for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back and cannot be cured locally. It may be an option if your cancer has a certain protein (PD-L1) and you haven't had prior cancer treatment for this stage.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06225427RecruitingPhase 1
Gilteritinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called gilteritinib for people with a specific genetic type of lung cancer (ALK-positive) that has spread and has been treated before. You may be eligible if you have already tried at least one targeted therapy, and your cancer is still growing.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758401RecruitingPhase 3
Sigvotatug vedotin plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new combination of two study medicines for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has high levels of PD-L1 protein. The goal is to see if adding sigvotatug vedotin to pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227168RecruitingPhase 1
Study of STRO-004 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called STRO-004 for people with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or come back). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for those who have already tried other treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–80 - NCT04892173RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus a tumor injection, with or without cetuximab
This trial studies whether adding a special drug given directly into a head-and-neck tumor during radiation can improve outcomes. It also looks at whether cetuximab (an antibody medicine) should be added for people who cannot or should not have certain standard chemotherapy.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.

What taking part in a squamous cell carcinoma 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.
