Recruiting studies
- NCT06864338Recruiting

This study tests a new stool-based test for detecting colorectal cancer and advanced polyps. It aims to see how well it works compared to a colonoscopy. The results may lead to a simpler screening option.
Morrisville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06638554Recruiting
Using video visits to help people get screened for lung cancer
This trial tests whether telehealth (video visits) can help more people get screened for lung cancer. It may be a good fit if you are between 50 and 80, have a history of smoking, and have not had a lung cancer screening in the last two years.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT06560528RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before & after surgery for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy) before and after surgery for locally advanced HER2-positive stomach cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients whose cancer has not yet spread.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05378919RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new pre-surgery treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares a pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) treatment plan versus the standard plan for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safe before surgery.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT06329908RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Dendritic cell vaccine plus immunotherapy for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment combining a dendritic cell vaccine (a type of immune therapy that trains your body to fight cancer) with additional immunotherapy drugs. It is for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06313086RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs. T-DM1 for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new antibody-drug conjugate (DP303c) against an existing one, T-DM1, in people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer who have already been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07432360Recruiting
Finding prostate cancer with advanced MRI and tissue analysis
This trial uses advanced MRI scans and detailed tissue analysis to better detect prostate cancer. It is for people with confirmed prostate cancer who are already scheduled for prostate removal surgery.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07305727Recruiting
Can MRI scans help predict chemo-radiation success in cervical cancer?
This trial uses MRI scans taken before treatment to see if they can predict how well chemo-radiation will work for locally advanced cervical cancer. It aims to help doctors know which patients might benefit most from this therapy.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT07044908RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2922 combined with TAS-102, with or without bevacizumab, for people whose advanced colorectal cancer has a normal RAS and BRAF gene and has not responded to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or stop cancer growth.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06119685RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IDP-023 alone or with other antibodies for blood cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug, IDP-023, given alone or with antibody therapies for people with advanced blood cancers like multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06901622Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a combination of drugs for advanced gallbladder and bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted therapy (anlotinib) to standard chemo plus an immunotherapy (camrelizumab) is more effective than chemo plus immunotherapy alone for advanced gallbladder or bile duct cancers that cannot be removed by surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06895447RecruitingPhase 2
Robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery after chemo or radiation
This trial tests whether using a robotic arm to remove stomach cancer is safe and effective for patients who have already received chemotherapy or radiation. If you have stage III stomach cancer and are healthy enough for surgery, this approach may offer a more precise operation.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06826079RecruitingPhase 2
Sorbitol plus chemo and immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests adding sorbitol to standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (tirellizumab) for people with locally advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink tumors before surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT06821503RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of LM-108 with chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called LM-108 combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if it's safe and may help shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06732856RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zolbetuximab plus chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug called zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy (docetaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1) before surgery for people with locally advanced stomach cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN18.2). The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors enough to improve surgery outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06249321RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer with normal CA19-9
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX) and radiation therapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has stopped responding to chemotherapy and whose CA19-9 tumor marker levels are normal. The goal is to see if this approach can help when standard treatments are no longer working.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05731726RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether giving serplulimab (an immune medicine) plus CAPEOX chemotherapy and celecoxib before surgery can shrink locally advanced rectal cancer and improve outcomes. It may help by increasing immune attack on the tumor while chemotherapy helps reduce the cancer before the operation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05332002RecruitingPhase 2
Study chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for HER2-negative esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination treatment called sFOLFOXIRI for advanced esophageal or stomach-area cancer that is HER2-negative. It aims to see how well the treatment works and whether it is safe for people who have not had standard chemotherapy for this metastatic cancer yet.
Hamilton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT02693535RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug testing for advanced cancer with tumor gene changes
This trial tests whether FDA-approved targeted drugs can help people with advanced cancer whose tumors have specific gene changes. It aims to match your tumor's unique genetic profile to a drug that may work better for you.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT03836196Recruiting

This trial is testing whether giving the drug goserelin in a different spot on the body works just as well for suppressing ovarian function in premenopausal women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. You may be a fit if you've already been on goserelin shots in your abdomen for at least 6 months.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - NCT06020430Recruiting
Skipping routine radiation for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy and chemo
This trial tests whether it is safe to skip routine radiation to the tumor bed in patients with stage III lung cancer that has responded well to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT03621904Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,185 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.
