Genetic-targeted drug plus gene medicine for EGFR lung cancer
This trial studies a gene-based treatment added to osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) for advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has started growing again on osimertinib. It may help by attacking the cancer with both its usual target treatment and an added genetic approach.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04710758Recruiting
Keyhole surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial looks at laparoscopic (keyhole) total stomach removal for people with advanced stomach cancer in the upper or middle part of the stomach. It aims to see whether this operation approach is safe and useful based on your tumor stage and overall health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04792684Recruiting
Collecting colon samples from adults with colon findings
This study collects body samples to help evaluate tests for people with suspected or newly diagnosed colorectal conditions, often around the time of colonoscopy or surgery. Depending on the arm, you may be asked to have a colonoscopy soon or to provide samples before planned surgery.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 45–84 - NCT05010681RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus immunotherapy after prior liver cancer treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests lenvatinib combined with the immunotherapy drug sintilimab in people with advanced liver cancer who got worse after prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. It aims to slow cancer growth and improve outcomes after immune therapy hasn’t worked.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05319730RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing new drugs, with or without pembrolizumab, for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial studies investigational cancer medicines, either alone or along with pembrolizumab, for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer whose cancer has grown despite prior immune and platinum-based treatment. It may offer a new option after standard therapy has not worked.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05323201RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
B7H3 CAR-T therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests an immune therapy made from your own blood cells (CAR-T) to treat advanced, unresectable liver cancer. It’s designed for people whose tumor has a specific marker called B7H3 and who meet blood, organ, and safety requirements.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05410977Recruiting
Testing blood and stool for colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This study collects blood and stool samples to see how well they can detect colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome (an inherited colon cancer risk) or suspected Lynch syndrome. It may help find cancer or precancer earlier, which can improve next-step decisions.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05479409RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before surgery for advanced breast cancer

- 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.
