Olanzapine vs mirtazapine for weight loss in advanced cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicines olanzapine or mirtazapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight without trying. It looks at improving unintentional weight loss when standard cancer care is also ongoing.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07265921RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SIM0609 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational new drug, SIM0609, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find a safe dose and see early signs that it might help slow or shrink tumors.

- 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.
