Recruiting studies
- NCT04921137RecruitingPhase 4
Testing benefits and side effects of hormone therapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at the potential harms and benefits of hormone (endocrine) therapy in people age 70 and older with early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer. It may help doctors choose which hormone treatment approach is safest and most helpful for older patients.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 70 years+ - NCT04617522RecruitingPhase 1
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced cancers with moderate liver issues
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and tolerable sacituzumab govitecan is for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment. It aims to find the right dosing so the treatment can be used more safely in this liver-risk group.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04680715RecruitingPhase 2
Tested radiation before and after breast surgery in older women
This Phase 2 trial looks at a specific radiation timing and technique around the time of breast-conserving surgery. It may help reduce the chance the cancer comes back in selected older patients with certain early-stage, hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancers.
Clermont-FerrandAges 65 years+ - NCT04638725Recruiting
Genetics study to find why HER2 breast cancer treatment varies
This study looks at genetic factors to understand why some people’s HER2-positive breast cancer responds better—or has more side effects—after treatment. Your info and possible past treatment history may help researchers improve how HER2 treatment is chosen and managed.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04517266Recruiting
Testing less radiation to the inner breast area
This trial studies whether some patients with early-stage breast cancer can safely skip a specific part of radiation to the inner chest (called internal mammary irradiation). It may reduce radiation side effects while still aiming to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04216732Recruiting
Study of medullary thyroid cancer progression in a registry
This study follows people with medullary thyroid cancer to better understand how the disease changes over time, including in advanced stages. You may help improve future treatment planning and care for people with medullary thyroid cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04185974Recruiting
Carbon ion re-irradiation for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation called carbon-ion re-irradiation for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or grown again after earlier radiation. It may help control the cancer after certain surgeries, but it also requires specific safety conditions about timing, prior treatment areas, and overall health.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT04133077Recruiting
Biobank study using tumor tissue to grow patient tumor models
This study takes small samples of your breast tumor tissue after (or during) treatment and grows them in lab animals to better study breast cancer. It may help researchers test future ideas for treating aggressive breast cancer types like triple-negative or Luminal B.
Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-DômeAges 18 years+ - NCT03417115Recruiting
Breast cancer registry study of treatment and outcomes
This is a registry study that collects real-world information about breast cancer care at the start of treatment. It may help researchers better understand which treatments work best for different groups of people.

Studying brain and thinking changes after chemotherapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT06582017RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QXL138AM for advanced solid tumors and multiple myeloma
This trial tests an investigational drug called QXL138AM for people with advanced solid tumors or multiple myeloma that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07814248RecruitingPhase 1
TS-104 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called TS-104 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is given alone (not with other cancer treatments) to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07503808RecruitingPhase 1
IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07469709Recruiting
Cancer risk study using genetics and monitoring
This study looks at genetic and other factors in people with certain cancers to better understand personal cancer risks and improve monitoring. It may help find ways to detect changes earlier.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07433283RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iron nanoparticle injection for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment for advanced solid tumors that uses tiny iron particles guided by carbon nanoparticles, injected directly into the tumor. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working or aren't available, and you have a tumor that can be safely injected.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07179692RecruitingPhase 1
CEA-targeted CAR-T therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a type of immunotherapy called CAR-T, which is designed to recognize and attack cancer cells that have a protein called CEA on their surface. It's for people with advanced cancers like colorectal, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, lung, or bile duct cancer who have tried at least two standard treatments.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07104630RecruitingPhase 2
Pulmonary rehab for advanced lung cancer
This study tests a pulmonary rehabilitation program—special exercises and breathing training—to help people with advanced lung cancer feel less short of breath and improve their daily function and quality of life.

REVITALIZE: Reducing Fatigue in Ovarian Cancer on PARP Inhibitors
This study tests whether a program called REVITALIZE can help reduce severe fatigue in women with ovarian cancer who are currently taking a PARP inhibitor (a type of targeted therapy). The goal is to see if this approach improves daily energy and quality of life.

Atezolizumab plus tivozanib for hard-to-treat “cold” cancers
This early-stage study tests whether combining atezolizumab and tivozanib can shrink advanced, hard-to-treat cancers that do not strongly activate the immune system (“immunologically cold”). It is for people whose cancer has already been treated or has no good standard options.

- 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.
