- NCT06787911RecruitingPhase 2
Donafenib and immunotherapy before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—donafenib (a targeted therapy) and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1 antibody)—given before surgery for locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery easier and more complete. If you have this type of thyroid cancer that is hard to remove completely with surgery alone, this study may be an option.

Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07106892RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HLX43 for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HLX43, that targets a protein called PD-L1 on cancer cells and delivers a chemotherapy-like payload directly to them. It's for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments.
BeijingAges 3 weeks–2 months - NCT07113275RecruitingPhase 3
Short versus long radiation schedule for advanced rectal cancer
This study compares two different schedules of radiation (a short course versus a longer course) followed by standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced rectal cancer. It aims to see which approach works best to shrink the tumor before surgery.

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.
