Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07486089RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dual-target CAR-NK cells for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) that targets two markers on breast cancer cells. It is for people with advanced HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who have tried other treatments and need new options.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07641049RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) designed to target and fight advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone treatments. The cells are engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells that have specific markers (PSMA and PSCA) on their surface.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,221 recruiting advanced cancer 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 advanced cancer 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 advanced cancer 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.
