Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT05024929Recruiting
Test targeted drugs to help radioactive iodine reach thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether certain cancer “targeted therapy” medicines can make radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy work better for thyroid cancer that has spread to the lungs. It also involves taking special whole-body scans to measure how much radioactive iodine gets taken up by the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth+ - NCT05783323RecruitingPhase 2
Larotrectinib plus radiation for thyroid cancer with NTRK fusion
This Phase 2 trial tests larotrectinib (a targeted medicine) to help radioactive iodine (RAI) work better in people with differentiated thyroid cancer that has an NTRK gene fusion. It may improve how much thyroid cancer the RAI can reach and shrink.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–99 - NCT06918223Recruiting
Video to help patients decide on thyroid surgery
This trial tests whether an educational video helps people feel more confident and satisfied when giving consent for thyroid surgery. It is for adults having their first thyroid surgery, such as a partial or full removal of the thyroid gland.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT06458036RecruitingPhase 2
Selpercatinib before radioactive iodine for RET-positive thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a targeted drug called selpercatinib, taken before radioactive iodine therapy, can help treat thyroid cancer in children and young adults who have a specific genetic change (RET fusion or mutation). The drug may make the cancer more sensitive to the radioactive iodine treatment that follows.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–25 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
