CAR-NK cell therapy for certain solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment for advanced solid tumors that show specific targets (including Claudin 6, GPC3, Mesothelin, or AXL). It may help the immune system better recognize and kill tumor cells, but eligibility depends on test results and your overall health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05646862RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two treatments for advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation
This trial tests whether a new drug combo (inavolisib plus fulvestrant) works better than an existing one (alpelisib plus fulvestrant) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. It aims to find a treatment that may help control the cancer longer.

Common questions
- 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.
