YL202 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called YL202 for people with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or cannot be removed). It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth. You may be able to join if you have certain types of cancer, have not had a previous HER3 treatment, and can provide a tumor sample.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06475417RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (DOS) plus an immunotherapy drug (Adebrelimab) given before surgery for people with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if the treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced cancers that have limited options
This Phase 1 study tests NX-1607 in adults with advanced cancers that are hard to treat with standard care. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the drug may work in specific cancer types.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06873555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for ovarian cancer and other advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug (DC05F01) for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum treatment, or for those with other advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

- 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.
