Recruiting studies
- NCT04332588RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI monitoring for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery

Apatinib as first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a pill called apatinib as a first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It might help if you cannot or do not want to have chemotherapy.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT00870129Recruiting
MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06830018Recruiting
New megestrol for advanced stomach or colon cancer with fatigue
This study tests a new form of megestrol (a medicine that can boost appetite and energy) for people with advanced stomach or colorectal cancer who also have fatigue and poor appetite. It is given as a first treatment, meaning you haven't had chemotherapy yet for your advanced cancer.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06702683Recruiting
Sintilimab blood levels in advanced stomach cancer
This study looks at how the amount of Sintilimab in your blood relates to how well it works and what side effects you might have. If you have advanced stomach cancer and are planning to get Sintilimab, this trial could help your doctor find the best dose for you.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05438459RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GAIA-102 for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer with ascites
This trial tests a new drug, GAIA-102, given directly into the abdomen to treat advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer that has spread to the belly lining and causes fluid buildup (malignant ascites). The goal is to see if it can slow the cancer or improve symptoms.
Fukuoka, FukuokaAges 20 years+ - NCT07799935Recruiting
Tumor ablation after chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study tests a procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE), which uses electric pulses to destroy cancer cells, after chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes in people who are not eligible for surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07683195Enrolling by invitation
Using CT scans to predict early stomach cancer return
This study uses information from CT scans done before stomach cancer surgery to see if it can predict whether the cancer may come back early. Researchers want to find patterns in the scans that might help doctors plan better follow-up care.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT07672119Recruiting
Heart risks in older men on enzalutamide or darolutamide
This study looks at heart-related risks in older men with advanced prostate cancer who are taking enzalutamide or darolutamide. It may help doctors better understand how to manage heart health during treatment.
Whippany, New JerseyAges 55 years+ - NCT07343791RecruitingEarly Phase 1
DC-CIK cell therapy plus three drugs for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immune cells (DC-CIK) and three cancer drugs (epaloliposide, vortexil, and regorafenib) as a third-line treatment for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread. It aims to see if this mix is safe and helps shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07318558RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Sac-TMT for advanced ovarian cancer without HRD
This trial is testing a new drug called Sac-TMT for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has not responded well to initial platinum-based chemotherapy and does not have a specific gene change called HRD. It aims to see if this drug can work better than standard treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07312422RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and standard therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial combines low-dose radiation with an immunotherapy drug (pucotenlimab) and standard treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this triple therapy can help control the cancer without using a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor before.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07179757Recruiting
Vulvovaginal cancer treatment study
This study looks at how well treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery work for people with vulvar or vaginal cancer, and how they affect quality of life. It includes patients treated between 2019 and 2023.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges Any age - NCT07117630RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug combo for advanced breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a new drug combination for women with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has worsened after standard treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors and hormone therapy. It aims to see if the combination can help when other options have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06898385RecruitingPhase 1
IX001 TCR-T Cells for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer with KRAS G12V
This trial tests a new treatment called IX001 TCR-T cells, which are specially designed immune cells that target a specific mutation (KRAS G12V) found in some pancreatic cancers. It is for people whose cancer has not been controlled by standard chemotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06102057RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided small volume chemoradiation with immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (durvalumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if giving a smaller, more focused radiation dose can be just as effective with fewer side effects.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT06065371RecruitingPhase 1
Sacituzumab govitecan plus capecitabine for advanced GI cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—sacituzumab govitecan (targeted therapy) and capecitabine (chemotherapy)—for people with advanced stomach, colon, or pancreatic cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06538012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tumor immune cells plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT05136846RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with chemoradiation for stage II–III lung cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding papaverine to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (and some limited stage IV cases). It aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable while targeting the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04984551RecruitingPhase 2

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.
