Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a very low dose of radiation to a combination of immunotherapy (pucotenlimab) and chemotherapy (CAPEOX) can help shrink rectal cancer tumors that have not spread. It is for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that is pMMR (meaning the cancer cells have normal DNA repair).

How lymph node changes affect rectal cancer outcomes
This trial looks at how much the lymph nodes respond to chemoradiation before surgery in people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to understand if that response can predict long-term results and guide future treatment choices.
Ages 18–65 - NCT03025477RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two first-treatment options for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two different treatment strategies as the first chemotherapy after surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian-tube cancer. It may help doctors find a more effective or better-tolerated approach for people in your situation.

Study of 177Lu antibody and medicines for first advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted medicines (including 177Lu girentuximab) plus immunotherapy to treat people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer who have not had prior systemic (whole-body) treatment. It aims to shrink tumors and control disease by attacking cancer in multiple ways.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04891016RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with chemotherapy for locally advanced stomach cancer
This trial studies toripalimab (an immune system medicine) plus FLOT chemotherapy in people with stomach cancer that has grown locally but hasn’t spread to distant organs. It aims to improve control of the cancer and help more people have their tumors fully treated.

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.
