Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06475989RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted Drug Combo vs. Chemo for Advanced Thyroid Cancer
This study tests a new combination of targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) compared to chemotherapy (cabozantinib) for people with a specific type of advanced thyroid cancer called BRAF-mutated differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to see which treatment works better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04892303RecruitingPhase 1
Planning treatment using radiation plus radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how doctors plan a combination of two radiation approaches—external beam radiation and radioactive iodine—for thyroid cancer that is not fully responding to standard treatment. It may help people who still have iodine-avid tumor spots, but whose iodine uptake looks too low to work well with radioactive iodine alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT03517579Recruiting
Personalized treatment for Graves and certain thyroid cancers
This trial tests a personalized approach to treat thyroid disorders, either Graves’ disease or certain thyroid cancers that may need radioactive iodine treatment. It may help by matching treatment to your specific test results and needs.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–65 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Randallstown, MarylandAges 19–110 - NCT04927416RecruitingPhase 2
Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan in metastatic thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a specific special scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can help doctors better see where thyroid cancer has spread. It focuses on certain types of thyroid cancer and compares how well the scan images metastases.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–98 - NCT03841617RecruitingPhase 2
Measure radiation in thyroid cancer using a special PET-CT scan
This trial tests how much radiation a specialized whole-body PET/CT scan delivers in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It may help doctors better plan treatment for cancer that persists, returns, or has spread—especially when radioactive iodine (RAI) may or may not work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT01109420Recruiting
Family study of non-medullary thyroid cancer and genetics
This study looks at families affected by non-medullary thyroid cancer to understand patterns and possible genetic risk. You may be able to join even if you personally do not have the cancer, as long as you have the right family history and can complete a questionnaire.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–90 - NCT00001160Recruiting
Study of thyroid lumps and thyroid cancer
This study looks at people who have or may have thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid gland in your neck) or thyroid cancer, as well as family members who may have inherited a higher risk. It aims to better understand and diagnose these thyroid problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–98 years - NCT01005654Recruiting
Molecular testing for endocrine tumor diagnoses
This study collects and analyzes molecular (cell/DNA-level) information from endocrine tumors or pre-cancer conditions. It may help doctors better understand these tumors and improve diagnosis and treatment planning when you need surgery or a biopsy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 years+ - NCT01660984Recruiting
Natural history study for medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
This study follows children and adults with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and/or MEN2 to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It may help doctors plan care in the future by collecting long-term health and lab information, not by giving a new treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 months+ - NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted cancer drug study for RAS/RAF mutation-positive tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests S241656 (a targeted cancer medicine) in people whose cancers have certain “RAS/RAF” gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth, and also finds the safest dose and best way to use the drug.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06853925Recruiting
Online program for thyroid cancer symptom management
This study tests a web-based program to help people with thyroid cancer manage symptoms from radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment and improve their quality of life. It is for those who have had RAI within the past three years and are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05668962RecruitingPhase 2
Study selpercatinib plus I-131 for RET thyroid cancer that cannot take iodine
This trial tests whether combining a targeted pill (selpercatinib) with a radioactive iodine dose (I-131) can shrink thyroid cancer that has spread and no longer responds to radioactive iodine. It is for RET fusion–positive (genetically driven) thyroid cancers where the cancer cannot reliably absorb iodine anymore.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12 years+ - NCT06980103Recruiting
Decision aid for RAI in thyroid cancer
This trial offers a decision aid to help you choose whether to have radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment after thyroid cancer surgery. You may qualify if you have intermediate-risk thyroid cancer and haven't yet made a decision about RAI.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+

What taking part in a thyroid cancer 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.
