- NCT06785441Recruiting
Decision aid for older men considering active surveillance for prostate cancer
This study tests a decision aid to help men aged 65 and older with early-stage prostate cancer decide whether to choose active surveillance (monitoring the cancer instead of immediate treatment). The goal is to see if the tool helps men and their care partners make a more informed choice.
Houston, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT06914245Recruiting
Personalized help for bowel symptoms after rectal cancer treatment
This trial studies how to improve bowel symptoms in people treated for rectal cancer. It tests personalized care plans and looks at different factors that may contribute to bowel problems after surgery or a watch-and-wait approach.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06974370RecruitingPhase 2
Avoiding brain radiation when chemo or other drugs work
This trial tests whether some people with brain metastases from solid tumors can safely skip radiation if their cancer drugs (like targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or certain chemotherapies) shrink the brain tumors. You will get MRI scans to see if the drugs are working.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT06998342RecruitingPhase 2
Mohs surgery plus short radiation for head and neck skin cancer
This trial studies a combination of Mohs surgery and a short course of radiation therapy for people with squamous cell skin cancer of the head and neck. The goal is to see if this approach is effective with fewer side effects.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT07168616Recruiting
PSMA PET imaging for active surveillance in low-risk prostate cancer
This study uses a special imaging test (PSMA PET/CT) to better see if men with low-risk prostate cancer are good candidates for active surveillance (monitoring instead of immediate treatment). It helps doctors decide if watching the cancer closely is safe.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 18 years+ - NCT05852041RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET-MRI scan to find prostate cancer before active surveillance
This early-phase study tests a special PET-MRI scan using rhPSMA-73 to better detect prostate cancer areas in men who would otherwise choose active surveillance. It may help doctors see where (and how much) cancer is present before deciding on treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07285057RecruitingPhase 2
New PET scan for men with low-risk prostate cancer on active surveillance
This trial tests a new imaging test called rhPSMA-7.3 (18F) PET/CT to see if it can better detect prostate cancer in men who are on active surveillance because their cancer is considered low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk. You would also get an MRI and a biopsy as part of the study.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT00414115Recruiting
Studying side effects of medicines in children
This study follows children who take medicines to better understand what causes side effects. It also looks at family history and genetics to see who may be more likely to have an adverse reaction, and it checks findings using adults.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT00756665Recruiting
Study of careful monitoring for prostate cancer
This study follows people with early-stage prostate cancer who choose active surveillance instead of immediate treatment. It aims to see how monitoring with repeat prostate biopsies and follow-up works over time.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT02865330Recruiting
Registry study for men on active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer
This is a registry study that follows men with low-risk prostate cancer who choose active surveillance instead of immediate treatment. It helps doctors understand how safe and effective active surveillance is, including confirming results with repeat biopsies.
ValenciaAges 18–80 - NCT02526797Enrolling by invitation
MRI scan study for men on active surveillance
This trial tests how a special MRI scan (with multiple measurements) may help men with low-risk prostate cancer who are monitoring it closely instead of treating right away. It may help doctors better understand the cancer’s status during active surveillance.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT01511393Enrolling by invitation
Tracking people with thyroid cancer to learn its course
This study follows adults who have medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) to learn how the cancer behaves over time. It may help by improving future care and follow-up strategies for people with MTC.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07547163Recruiting
Patient feedback on low-grade brain tumor treatment
This study asks patients with a specific type of low-grade brain tumor (IDH mutant grade 2 glioma) to share their experiences and quality of life while receiving a treatment called vorasidenib, with or without radiation. Your feedback helps doctors understand how well the treatment works from your perspective.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06261190Enrolling by invitation
Active monitoring for low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether it is safe to avoid immediate surgery and instead monitor small thyroid cancers that are considered low-risk. If you join, doctors will check regularly to make sure the cancer does not grow or spread.
Goyang-siAges 18 years+ - NCT03648359Enrolling by invitation
MRI scans to monitor low-risk prostate cancer in active surveillance
This trial uses special MRI scans to help track low-risk prostate cancer while you stay on active surveillance (meaning no immediate treatment). It may help your care team better understand changes in the cancer over time.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT04876781Recruiting
Track safety of Xeljanz XR in Korea
This study collects real-world safety information about Xeljanz XR after it has been approved. It includes people with certain immune-related joint diseases and checks for side effects in everyday use.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06073873Recruiting
Safety study of ozanimod for ulcerative colitis in Korea
This study is checking the safety of ozanimod, a daily pill, for people with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis. It looks at how well patients tolerate the medicine in real-world use in Korea.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for active surveillance?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 recruiting active surveillance studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a active surveillance trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a active surveillance trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
