COAST therapy for advanced prostate or other solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests the COAST therapy approach in people with advanced solid tumor cancers or advanced prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite standard treatments. The study aims to see how well the treatment works and whether it is safe enough to continue studying.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04945330Recruiting
Study for NTRK fusion cancers taking larotrectinib
This trial is for people with advanced or returning solid tumors that have specific gene changes called NTRK gene fusions. It looks at patients who are already being treated with larotrectinib as part of normal care, to understand this treatment in real life.
Multiple LocationsAges Any age - NCT04943484Recruiting
ICG camera dye test during surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether an “ICG” dye and special camera can help surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help improve how safely and accurately surgeons remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04927416RecruitingPhase 2
Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan in metastatic thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a specific special scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can help doctors better see where thyroid cancer has spread. It focuses on certain types of thyroid cancer and compares how well the scan images metastases.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–98 - NCT04906434RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ABSK-011 for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe ABSK-011 is, what side effects it causes, and how the body processes the drug. It may help certain patients with advanced solid cancers (including some liver cancer cases) whose tumors have specific test results.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT04891510Recruiting
Compare fat grafting products in breast surgery
This trial compares three methods for moving your own fat into the breast during breast surgery. It may help improve how well fat grafting works and how surgeons choose the best method for you.

Immunotherapy plus chemo before bladder surgery for advanced cancer
This trial studies giving toripalimab (an immunotherapy) together with gemcitabine and cisplatin before bladder surgery. It aims to shrink locally advanced bladder cancer and make surgery more effective by using the immune system and chemotherapy together.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04749108RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tailored treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer after FOLFIRINOX
This trial studies a more customized treatment plan for people with locally advanced rectal (bowel) cancer after they receive FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. It aims to reduce tumor spread risk and improve outcomes by tailoring the next steps based on scan details and your health status.
Marseille, Bouches Du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT03829254RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NUC-7738 treatment for advanced solid cancers and lymphoma
This early-phase study tests how safe NUC-7738 is and how it works in people with advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas. Some participants may also receive pembrolizumab for specific cancers, aiming to improve cancer control while carefully monitoring side effects.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT04752826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new drug combo for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new experimental drug, BI-1808, alone or with an approved cancer drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda). It's for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04415853RecruitingPhase 3
Larotinib for advanced esophageal cancer with high EGFR
This phase 3 trial tests larotinib, a targeted cancer medicine, for people with advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer that has high EGFR. It aims to see if it works better than standard treatment approaches after the cancer has progressed twice.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04371913Recruiting
Second chance breast-conserving treatment for certain breast recurrences
This trial studies a personalized plan to remove and re-treat a limited breast recurrence while trying to keep the breast. It may help people whose cancer came back in the same breast after prior breast-conserving treatment, with certain size and spread limits.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 19–90 - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04215731RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus targeted drug before surgery for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy (mFOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab before surgery for rectal cancer that has higher-risk features. It aims to shrink or control the cancer early to improve outcomes after treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04107077RecruitingPhase 2
HIPEC surgery plus chemotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This study tests whether a specialized surgery called HIPEC (heat-treated chemotherapy placed in the belly) can improve outcomes for people with advanced stomach cancer that has reached the lining of the abdomen. It’s given after you’ve already had standard chemotherapy, aiming to better control disease in the belly.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03997110Recruiting
Palliative radiation to relieve pain in advanced cervical cancer
This trial looks at giving radiation to shrink or control advanced cervical cancer to help with symptoms, especially pain. It is for people who are not good candidates for full curative treatment and are expected to have limited time, so the goal is comfort rather than cure.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–75 - NCT03810339RecruitingPhase 2
Check a POLE/POLD cancer drug for non–MSI-high tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies toripalimab (JS001), given alone, in people whose tumors have specific POLE or POLD gene mutations but do not have MSI-H/dMMR. If it works, it may help shrink or control advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03516708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Epacadostat with pre-op radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding epacadostat (a cancer drug) to standard pre-operative chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It’s designed to see if the added treatment is safe and potentially more effective before surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03458676Recruiting
MRI results to help guide brain tumor biopsy
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03454035RecruitingPhase 1
Combination of two study drugs for advanced pancreatic and other solid tumors
This trial tests two drugs, ulixertinib and palbociclib, taken together to see if they can shrink tumors in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, melanoma, or other solid tumors. It may be an option for people who have already tried standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced or metastatic breast cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 6,090 recruiting advanced or metastatic breast 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 or metastatic breast 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 or metastatic breast 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.
