A trial of HRS-4642 alone or with adebrelimab for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HRS-4642, either by itself or combined with another drug called adebrelimab, for people whose advanced bile duct cancer has come back or gotten worse after standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.

Optimizing local treatments for ALK-positive lung cancer on brigatinib
This trial is for people with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer who are already taking the targeted therapy brigatinib and have a few remaining spots of cancer. It tests whether adding local treatments (like surgery, focused radiation, or ablation) to the remaining spots can improve outcomes.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06718205RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab plus immunotherapy and chemo for esophageal cancer
This study tests a new combination of drugs for advanced esophageal cancer. It adds an antibody (nimotuzumab) and an immunotherapy (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy, aiming to improve how well treatment works.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,221 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.
