Testing heart safety and fitness during lung cancer chemoradiation
This study looks at how lung cancer treatment affects the heart and whether a “walking test” and blood tests can track heart fitness and injury. It may help by improving how cancer therapy is planned and monitored for heart safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07656116RecruitingPhase 1
Oncolytic virus therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a virus-based treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments. The virus is designed to infect and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.

5-FU and Fruquintinib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (5-FU and fruquintinib) in people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It is for those who have not had chemotherapy before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06305312Recruiting
Community help for women with abnormal mammogram results
This study connects people who had an abnormal mammogram result with community resources to address social needs like food, housing, or transportation. The goal is to reduce barriers to follow-up care and promote health equity.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06098560Recruiting
ctDNA as a marker for immunotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer
This study looks at whether a blood test for tumor DNA (ctDNA) can predict how well immunotherapy works in people with advanced or locally advanced colorectal cancer that has specific genetic features (dMMR/MSI-H). If you qualify, the trial will monitor your ctDNA levels while you receive standard immunotherapy to see if changes in those levels can show early on if the treatment is working.

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.
