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+ - 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.

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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06538012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tumor immune cells plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new approach: taking immune cells from your own tumor (TILs), growing them in the lab, then giving them back to you along with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. It is for people with advanced lung cancer who have run out of standard options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–90 - NCT03605771Recruiting
Observes people with advanced melanoma in Spain since 2018
This observational study collects information about people with advanced (stage III/IV) melanoma, including cases that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. It may help improve understanding of how melanoma behaves and how it’s being treated across Spain.
Alcoy, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05700721RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib and dostarlimab for cancer with growing brain spots
This trial studies whether the medicines niraparib and dostarlimab can slow advanced cancers that have active, growing brain metastases. It is meant for people whose brain tumors can be measured on MRI and who have had at least one previous treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07669753Recruiting
Navigating health resources for cancer patients in Chicago
This study tests a program that helps cancer patients in Chicago connect with resources for their social needs, like housing, food, or transportation. It aims to improve cancer care by addressing these challenges.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05489211RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests the drug Dato-DXd (alone or with other cancer medicines) in people with advanced solid tumors. It looks for tumor shrinkage and how safely the treatment can be given.
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.

Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05837039Recruiting
Comparing caregiver and nurse views of discomfort in advanced cancer
This study compares how healthcare providers and family caregivers judge discomfort in people with advanced cancer who are very hard to rouse and may be actively dying. It aims to understand whether caregiver and staff perceptions match, which could improve comfort care for patients near the end of life.

- 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.
