- NCT05656573RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PSMA-targeted CAR T for advanced prostate cancer

Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05914766Recruiting
Support program for newly diagnosed rectal cancer patients
This trial tests an informational and supportive care program for people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help by providing education and practical support around next steps in treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05957016RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment before and during rectal radiation with chemo
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan given before surgery (neoadjuvant) along with radiation and chemotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy) for locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help shrink the cancer before the next steps of care and improve control of the disease.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05984485RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery vs chemo before surgery for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer: going straight to surgery (TME) versus receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if upfront surgery works just as well, sparing patients from chemotherapy side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06014372RecruitingPhase 2
Envafolimab before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests envalolimab (an immunotherapy) alone or with chemo (CAPEOX) before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06054906RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) and a low-dose weekly chemotherapy regimen before surgery for locally advanced stomach cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06084299RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) to fight advanced liver cancer. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after at least two standard treatments and who have tumors that can be biopsied to grow these cells.
WuhanAges 18–70 - NCT06105515Recruiting
Keyhole and scope combo rescue for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combined laparoscopy and endoscopy procedure as a rescue treatment for advanced stomach cancer. It is for patients who have a tumor that hasn't spread to other parts but cannot have standard stomach removal surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06128252Recruiting
Taurine with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding taurine to standard chemo-immunotherapy before surgery helps treat locally advanced gastric cancer. It may be an option for patients whose tumors are PD-L1 positive and can be fully removed with surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06139575RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug called Lu 177 JH020002 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to deliver radiation directly, possibly slowing the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06149130RecruitingPhase 2
Testing adebrelimab, dalpiciclib, and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with a targeted pill (dalpiciclib) and standard hormone therapy for women with advanced hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,224 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.
