Pembrolizumab and mogamulizumab for advanced relapsed skin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies two immune medicines (pembrolizumab and mogamulizumab) for people with advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to control the lymphoma and improve outcomes when the disease is hard to treat.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07601737RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with immunotherapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—nimotuzumab (a targeted therapy), a PD-1 inhibitor (which boosts your immune system), and chemotherapy—followed by surgery for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve survival.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07455032RecruitingPhase 1
Neoadjuvant therapy combo for head and neck cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,220 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.
