New drug combination before surgery for advanced throat cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a targeted therapy (EGFR-ADC) and an immunotherapy drug before surgery to shrink and control locally advanced throat cancer. It may help make surgery more effective and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03521830RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and other immunotherapy for advanced basal cell skin cancer
This study tests how well the immunotherapy medicine nivolumab works—either by itself or combined with other immune-boosting drugs—for people with advanced basal cell carcinoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It’s also looking at what to do if the cancer grows again after an earlier immunotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04807673RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab before surgery versus chemoradiation for esophageal cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,205 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.
