Recruiting studies
- NCT05942001RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an investigational drug for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests HRS-5041 in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (prostate cancer that keeps growing despite lower testosterone). It aims to see if the drug can be given safely and whether it may help control the cancer after prior standard treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06276686RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Exercise With Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
This study tests whether adding regular exercise during your standard chemoradiotherapy can help the treatment work better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It is designed for patients who have already been offered this type of therapy before surgery.
Cottingham, East YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05601505RecruitingPhase 2
DNA blood test–guided treatment before rectal cancer surgery
This trial uses a special DNA blood test (circulating tumor DNA) to help guide chemotherapy and radiation before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by tailoring treatment based on the DNA signals from the tumor.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04254263RecruitingPhase 3
Pyrotinib after breast cancer therapy for HER2-positive early disease
This trial studies whether adding pyrotinib after standard treatment helps prevent breast cancer from coming back in people with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer. You may be eligible if you finished chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and still had signs of cancer in the tissue removed during surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06080841Recruiting
Turmeric supplement study for cervical cancer
This trial tests whether a curcumin (turmeric) supplement can help women with advanced cervical cancer who are about to start standard treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. It aims to see if adding curcumin improves outcomes.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06482086RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor models to guide drug choice for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in a lab (as organoids) can help doctors pick the best drugs for advanced thyroid cancer that is hard to remove surgically. It's for people with different thyroid cancer types who have tumors growing outside the thyroid or into nearby areas.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07558083RecruitingPhase 3
Tracking colorectal cancer response using blood tests
This study tests whether a simple blood test can track how well your colorectal cancer is responding to first-line chemotherapy. By monitoring cancer markers in your blood, doctors may be able to detect treatment changes earlier than traditional imaging.

Fecal transplant with chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for advanced colon cancer
This study tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (sintilimab) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves treatment outcomes.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06312982RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy before rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has specific protein/gene markers (pMMR or MSS). It’s designed for those who have not yet had any treatment for their cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03961373RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer lymph node surgery after chemo for stomach cancer
This study compares two surgical approaches to remove lymph nodes after you’ve already had chemotherapy for stomach cancer. It aims to see whether removing lymph nodes in a more extended way improves outcomes without causing unacceptable side effects.
SienaAges 18–80 - NCT07101679RecruitingPhase 2
Study of radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (GnP), an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab), and targeted radiation (SBRT) as a first treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06391190RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemoradiation plus immunotherapy for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests combining standard chemoradiation with a PD-1 inhibitor (a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer) for advanced cervical cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05186493Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for advanced pelvic cancer
This study looks at a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery approach for people with advanced pelvic cancer that needs a pelvic exenteration operation. It may help some patients have surgery with smaller cuts, depending on whether they are good candidates for this type of procedure.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06204094RecruitingPhase 2
Preserving the anus with chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for patients with middle or low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the anus, preserving bowel function.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06288373RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing chemoimmunotherapy vs chemoradiation for advanced cervical cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before surgery works better than standard chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help shrink tumors more effectively.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06288360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for PD-L1-negative cervical cancer
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy before surgery can help treat cervical cancer that is PD-L1 negative. It's for women with larger tumors (stage IB3 to IIB) who have not been treated yet.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06529809RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Accelerated brachytherapy and chemo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new way of delivering radiation therapy (brachytherapy) combined with chemotherapy for advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if a faster, more intense radiation schedule is safe and effective.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06850623RecruitingPhase 2
Sound wave therapy plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses sound waves to help chemotherapy reach pancreatic tumors more effectively. It is for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery.

Heat therapy plus standard care for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding modulated electro-hyperthermia (a gentle heat treatment) to standard therapy (radiation and chemotherapy) before surgery helps control locally advanced rectal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,226 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.
