Recruiting studies near Los Angeles
- NCT04742608Recruiting
Liquid blood tests to diagnose thyroid nodules or cancer
This study tests whether a blood “liquid biopsy” can help diagnose thyroid cancer or hard-to-tell thyroid nodules without needing extra procedures. It may help confirm what’s going on before or around planned thyroid surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04119024RecruitingPhase 1
Gene-edited immune cells for advanced melanoma or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a gene-modified immune cell treatment for advanced cancers that don’t have standard curative options. It may help by attacking cancer cells that show a specific marker called IL13Rα2 after patients receive “conditioning” chemotherapy to prepare the immune system.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05538130RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for BRAF-mutated advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies how PF-07799544 works and what dose is safest in people with advanced cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600. You may receive it alone or with another treatment, depending on the tumor group, to see if it can treat the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT07406087Recruiting
Navigation support for young adults after cancer
This study tests a navigation program to help cancer survivors ages 21-45 get the follow-up care they need. It may be a good fit if you were diagnosed with certain cancers as a teen or young adult.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 21–45 - 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.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06959641RecruitingPhase 2
XL092 for advanced thyroid cancer that no longer responds to radioactive iodine
This trial is testing a new oral medication, XL092, for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has stopped responding to radioactive iodine therapy. The goal is to see if XL092 can slow or stop the cancer from growing.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03975231RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drugs and radiation for BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether targeted medicines (dabrafenib and trametinib) plus radiation can control an aggressive thyroid cancer with a specific BRAF gene change. It may help by attacking cancer cells that have this mutation and using focused radiation to improve tumor control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03676647Recruiting
Test DNA methylation from thyroid FNA samples to diagnose cancer
This study looks at a molecular test (DNA methylation pattern) using samples taken during fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules. It aims to help identify which thyroid nodules that looked “unclear” after the first test may be cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.

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.
