Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06826079RecruitingPhase 2
Sorbitol plus chemo and immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer

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.
