Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05593458RecruitingPhase 3
Stomach cancer surgery before chemo: artery-based or drip chemo
This trial compares two ways of giving chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus cancer: chemo sent through an artery versus chemo given through an IV line. It also studies adding PD-1 immunotherapy to see which approach works better and is safer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04861584RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before bladder surgery for advanced cancer
This trial studies giving toripalimab (an immunotherapy) together with gemcitabine and cisplatin before bladder surgery. It aims to shrink locally advanced bladder cancer and make surgery more effective by using the immune system and chemotherapy together.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05424159Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that uses carbon ions to treat pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed with surgery but has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting radiation side effects to nearby organs.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05446545Recruiting
Blood and tissue tests to monitor ovarian cancer using tumor DNA
This study uses a custom lab test on blood (and tumor tissue) to track ovarian cancer returning and to see how well treatment is working. It may help your care team monitor changes over time, especially after certain surgeries.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07783022Recruiting
Real-world study of niraparib for ovarian cancer after initial treatment
This study looks at how well niraparib works as maintenance therapy for women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have already responded to initial chemotherapy. It aims to gather real-world data on the treatment's effectiveness and safety.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07544030RecruitingPhase 3
PIPAC chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This study tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (called PIPAC) for women with advanced ovarian cancer who cannot have surgery to remove all tumors. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps slow cancer growth.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–70 - NCT07539311RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Rina-S for Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancers
This study tests a new drug called Rina-S in people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers (like stomach, colon, or pancreatic cancer) that have spread or cannot be surgically removed. The drug is designed to help slow or stop cancer growth in people whose cancer has gotten worse despite recent treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764680RecruitingPhase 2
Oral drugs and radiation for advanced colorectal cancer after standard therapy
This trial tests a combination of oral chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, with or without radiation, for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04295863RecruitingPhase 1
Test different dosing schedules for two immunotherapy drugs
This early trial compares how often two immune system medicines—nivolumab and pembrolizumab—are given for advanced or metastatic cancers. It aims to see which dosing interval is workable and safe for people needing treatment.

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.
