Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT01639508RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for lung cancer with specific gene changes
This trial studies how well cabozantinib works in advanced lung cancer when the tumor has certain gene changes (like RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or AXL). It may help slow tumor growth after standard treatments, depending on your tumor test results.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT02074839RecruitingPhase 1
Oral AG-120 for advanced blood cancers with an IDH1 mutation
This Phase 1 study tests an oral medicine called AG-120 in adults with advanced blood cancers that have a specific IDH1 mutation. It also looks at safety and how the treatment works, with frequent blood, urine, and bone marrow samples.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02029001RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment matched to your tumor’s DNA changes
This Phase 2 study tests whether choosing cancer drugs based on specific DNA or blood test results from your tumor can work better for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to use a molecular tumor board’s recommendation to guide the safest, most likely targeted treatment for each patient.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT01853631RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CD19-positive B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized form of immune therapy called CAR T cells that are designed to recognize CD19, a marker on certain B-cell cancers. It may help people with difficult-to-treat (recurrent or relapsed) B-cell lymphoma or leukemia (ALL/CLL).
Houston, TexasAges Up to 75 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 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+ - NCT00515060Recruiting
Study pain testing in cancer patients and healthy volunteers
This trial uses controlled, short-term pain testing (a “pain study”) to better understand how pain works during and after certain cancer treatments. It may help researchers improve how cancer therapy pain is measured and managed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00950118Recruiting
Study for people with congenital diaphragmatic hernia or family history
This study is for people who have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth-related opening in the diaphragm) or whose family member has had one. The research aims to learn more about the condition using molecular (cell-level) science, which may help improve understanding and future care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT00870129Recruiting
MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01099982Recruiting
Studying heart tissue and blood changes after advanced heart care
This trial studies how blood and heart tissue change in people with advanced heart failure who are getting an LVAD (a heart pump) or a heart transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening in the heart before and after these treatments.
Murray, UtahAges 13 years+ - NCT00623389Recruiting
Testing a leg neuroprosthesis for walking and leg control
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–75 - NCT00804154RecruitingPhase 1
Capsaicin-like drug for severe cancer pain
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug related to capsaicin (resiniferatoxin) to reduce severe nerve pain from advanced cancer. It is given through a small catheter near the spinal fluid space and is meant for people whose pain medicines and other options have not worked well enough.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT01036581Recruiting
Brain MRI study to improve brain imaging for drug research
This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better show how the brain responds to medicines (drug-related effects). You may also do extra safety screening and non-invasive brain stimulation for some parts of the research.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,908 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.
