Testing CUE-101 schedules before treatment for HPV16 throat cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies different timing “schedules” of CUE-101 given before surgery or before chemoradiation for HPV16-positive oropharyngeal throat cancer. The goal is to see if CUE-101 can help the body respond better and potentially improve outcomes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04824014RecruitingPhase 2
PET imaging for ER+ advanced breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan called 4FMFES-PET to take detailed pictures of ER-positive breast cancer that has spread. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and how active it is, which may guide treatment decisions.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04815694Recruiting
MRI-guided radiotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiotherapy can improve treatment for people with a certain type of rectal cancer. It focuses on patients whose tumors have not spread to other parts of the body and who have specific tumor features seen on MRI.
Roma, RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT04815525Recruiting
Long-term bowel cancer risk after colonoscopy in Hong Kong
This study follows people in Hong Kong over time to learn how the future risk of advanced colon growth changes after they have a colonoscopy. It may help doctors better predict who needs closer follow-up in the years after a colonoscopy.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges Any age - NCT04771806Recruiting
MRI-guided adaptive radiation for high-grade brain tumors
This study uses repeated MRI scans with a contrast dye to help doctors tailor (adapt) your radiation treatment over time for a high-grade glioma. It may help improve how accurately radiation targets the tumor as it changes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04703101RecruitingPhase 1
Short radiation plus chemo for stage II–III rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy for people with stage II or III rectal cancer. It’s designed to see whether this approach is safe and effective before or around cancer surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04768322Recruiting
LVAD versus standard heart failure medicines in advanced patients
This trial compares an LVAD device (a pump placed in the chest) plus medicines versus medicines alone for people with advanced, end-stage heart failure. It aims to see which approach works better to help patients live and stay out of the hospital.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04708587Recruiting
Choosing the right anti-platelet duration for advanced kidney disease
This study looks at the best length of anti-platelet medicine (which helps prevent stent clots) after a new type of heart stent. It specifically focuses on people with advanced chronic kidney disease, where bleeding and clot risks can be higher.
SeoulAges 19–84 - NCT04634357RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing donor-like immune T cells for children with liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (ET140203 T cells) in children and teens with certain liver cancers that have come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether these T cells can shrink tumors and is mainly focused on safety and early effectiveness.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04622423Recruiting
Advanced therapies for colon or pancreas liver metastases
This study tests advanced treatments for cancer that has spread to the liver, either from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting liver tumors using treatment plans and, for some participants, liver tissue samples.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04649125Recruiting
Single-shot versus multi-day palliative radiation for metastatic cancer
This trial compares a single treatment session (one-fraction radiation) versus the usual multiple sessions (multi-fraction radiation) to help relieve symptoms from metastatic cancer. It may help your care team find the most effective and practical schedule for symptom control.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges Any age - NCT04613583Recruiting
Study of fetal tissue collected during normal pregnancy
This study asks pregnant people with a normal ultrasound to join research where fetal tissue may be collected at an important point in pregnancy (7–20 weeks). It aims to better understand fetal development, and participation requires being able to understand the study in English.
AberdeenAges 16 years+ - NCT04606914RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin plus mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo
This Phase 2 study tests adding mirvetuximab to carboplatin for people with advanced, high-grade serous ovarian cancer who will first receive “neoadjuvant” chemotherapy. It is designed for tumors that strongly show FRα, which mirvetuximab targets, to see if this improves outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04611867Recruiting
Test “BetterEveryDay” patient-reported care for pancreatic or bile cancer
This study studies how a patient “reporting” program (called PRO) works for people with advanced pancreatic or bile-tract cancer. It may help teams understand symptoms and needs earlier to improve care and support during treatment.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT04529044RecruitingPhase 2
177Lu-DOTATATE for advanced breast cancer with targeted receptors
This Phase 2 trial tests whether 177Lu-DOTATATE can slow or shrink stage IV or recurrent breast cancer. It targets tumor “receptors” found on scans, using a radioactive medicine that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells.
Portland, OregonAges 18–100 - NCT04580225Recruiting
Tested partial wrist fusion with or without bone removal
This study compares two surgical options for certain types of advanced wrist arthritis—one with partial wrist fusion alone, and one with partial wrist fusion plus removal of a small wrist bone. It may help find which approach works better for pain and function after surgery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT04577014RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Retifanlimab plus chemotherapy for advanced soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests retifanlimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system recognize cancer) combined with gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy. It’s for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that can’t be safely removed with surgery, aiming to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced or metastatic solid tumors?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 4,767 recruiting advanced or metastatic solid tumors 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 solid tumors 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 solid tumors 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.
