Recruiting studies
- NCT03297606RecruitingPhase 2
Match your tumor test to a targeted cancer drug
This trial studies whether giving a targeted cancer medicine based on tumor genetic/protein test results can help people with advanced, incurable cancers live longer. You may be eligible if your cancer has a “potentially actionable” change on testing and you meet health and follow-up requirements.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT03472157Recruiting
Bariatric surgery for severe NASH with advanced liver scarring
This study tests whether bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) improves severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced liver scarring in people who are obese. You may also need liver biopsies to confirm your liver disease before and after treatment.
LilleAges 18–65 - NCT03191149RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03056794Recruiting
Study of genetic and natural history of PDC deficiency
This study looks at how pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency affects people over time and what genes are involved. It mainly helps by building genetic and health data, which may improve future care and understanding of the condition.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT03210935Recruiting
National registry for rare skin cancer diagnoses
This trial is a French national database that collects information from people with certain rare skin cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care, using real-world patient data.
Dijon, DijonAges Any age - NCT03232463Enrolling by invitation
Testing an advanced MRI scan in everyday clinic care
This study checks whether a more advanced MRI scan can be safely used in regular clinical practice. If you need an MRI for a health problem, the study may help your care team use the newer scan approach.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT03179540Recruiting
Watch-and-wait treatment after rectal cancer radiation
This trial looks at a “non-surgery” approach for some people with locally advanced rectal cancer who respond very well to radiation plus chemotherapy. If your cancer shows a complete clinical response on follow-up checks, the study may help you avoid an immediate major operation while closely monitoring you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03219593RecruitingPhase 2
Apatinib as first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a pill called apatinib as a first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It might help if you cannot or do not want to have chemotherapy.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT03135327Recruiting
Eye scans study to compare brain and eye health
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT03151629Recruiting
Registry for men with advanced prostate cancer
This study is a worldwide registry that collects health information from men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help researchers better understand disease patterns and outcomes, which can guide future treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT03291652Recruiting
Imaging study of high-risk brain plaque in stroke
This study uses MRI and ultrasound to look closely at brain artery plaques that may release clots and cause stroke. It aims to better understand which plaque features signal higher “embolus” risk, which could guide future care.
Hong KongAges 30–85 - NCT03016819RecruitingPhase 3
Test drugs anlotinib and catequentinib for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 3 study tests two anti-cancer medicines (anlotinib and catequentinib) for people with certain advanced soft-tissue sarcomas, including alveolar soft part sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma. It is designed for tumors that cannot be removed and that have either grown despite treatment or no longer respond to standard options.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02819882Recruiting
Registry study for advanced or metastatic breast cancer
This study collects health and treatment information from people with breast cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery or that has spread to other parts of the body. It may help researchers better understand which treatments are used and how people do over time.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT02978521Recruiting
Pulmonary rehab program for advanced lung cancer
This trial studies whether a structured breathing and activity program (pulmonary rehabilitation) can help people with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and daily function alongside standard cancer treatment.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–70 - NCT02333110Recruiting
Grid radiation therapy for advanced, painful tumors
This trial tests a way of giving palliative radiation using a “grid” to treat advanced tumors that are large, resistant to standard radiation, or already needed more than one palliative radiation session. It may help better control symptoms when a cure is not the goal.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02559778RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of nerve tissue cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by tailoring therapy based on each child's tumor characteristics and response to prior treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 22 years - NCT02469662Recruiting
Study of outcomes after Nexel total elbow replacement
This study looks at how well the Nexel total elbow replacement works over time for people who need an elbow replacement due to pain, damage, or instability. It may help the doctors understand which patients benefit most and what results to expect.
Golden, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT02332668RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab for children with advanced, hard-to-treat cancer
This trial tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy that helps the body recognize and attack cancer) in children with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that can’t be cured. It’s designed for kids who have already tried standard treatments or don’t have standard treatment options.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 6 months–17 years - NCT01365169Recruiting
How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02090530Recruiting
Precision testing of tumor tissue for advanced cancers
This study uses advanced DNA testing on tumor samples to help match cancer treatments more precisely. It may help researchers learn which cancer changes are driving your tumor and how they relate to treatment choices.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,897 recruiting advanced 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 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 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.
