Surufatinib plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding surufatinib to first-line treatment (either AG or a similar AG-based regimen) can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Testing BTX-9341 for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug, BTX-9341, for people with advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have already had certain treatments, including a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06562543RecruitingPhase 4
Fruquintinib for advanced colorectal cancer in minority populations
This trial tests a medication called fruquintinib (an oral pill) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It is specifically looking for participants who identify as Black or African American and/or Hispanic or Latino to help understand how the drug works in these groups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06657157Recruiting
Nerve side effects study for new bladder cancer treatment
This study watches for nerve problems in people getting enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab as their first treatment for advanced bladder cancer. It aims to understand how common these side effects are and how they affect patients.

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.
