Studying a new form of olaparib for BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer
This study tests a new form of a drug similar to olaparib (Lynparza) in people with BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer. It looks at how the drug works in the body and checks for safety, to see if the new formulation is as effective and safe as the current one.
Seoul, Songpa DistrictAges 19–74 - NCT05908643RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
First test of pTTL for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests pTTL, a personalized cancer treatment made from your tumor and immune cells, in people with advanced (stage IV) colorectal cancer. It’s designed to see whether pTTL is safe and potentially effective when standard treatments have been used or can’t be used.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,176 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.
