Recruiting studies
- NCT03125980RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo timing before vs after colon cancer surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two schedules of a colon cancer chemo combination: starting before surgery or starting after surgery. It aims to see which timing helps people live longer and lowers cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03064646Recruiting
Preserving tissue in near-complete rectal cancer response
This trial studies whether it’s safe to preserve the rectum (instead of removing it right away) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer who respond very well after pre-treatment radiation and/or chemotherapy. It may help some patients avoid major surgery, but eligibility depends on response seen on exam, scope, and MRI, and on having no spread to distant organs.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT04908566RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before and after gastric surgery
This trial studies whether adding a PD-1 immune therapy to chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus junction cancer. It aims to better control the cancer before and reduce the chance it comes back after surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04989985RecruitingPhase 2
SOX chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for junction stomach-esophagus cancer
This trial studies whether adding an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy (S-1 and oxaliplatin) can better treat locally advanced cancer at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. It may help shrink the tumor and control the cancer before or around surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05062005RecruitingPhase 3
Tests two ways of treating locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This phase 3 trial compares a standard treatment plan (CRT) versus a new approach (ICCRT) for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, without spread to distant organs. It aims to see which plan works better and is safe for tumors in the head and neck area.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05085171RecruitingPhase 3
Care plan to help reduce death risk in advanced HIV
This Phase 3 study tests an enhanced clinic care package for adults with advanced HIV to lower the risk of death. It may help by improving follow-up and treatment support for people who need closer care.
KampalaAges 18 years+ - NCT05300269RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug SHR-1701 with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05397769RecruitingPhase 2
Test envafolimab with chemoradiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether adding envafolimab (an immune medicine) to standard chemo and radiation works better for people with locally advanced, untreated nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help the immune system attack the cancer while treatment shrinks it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05406999RecruitingPhase 2
Intense hormone treatment before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving strong hormone-based treatment before prostate surgery to shrink and control high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help improve surgical success and reduce cancer spread risk, but it requires careful health checks and prior-treatment limits.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05524090Recruiting
Program to prepare for surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies an “implementation program” to help patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer get ready for the next steps after chemotherapy. It may help improve care planning and outcomes for people whose cancer has not grown after initial treatment.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04192253RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin and paclitaxel before surgery for vulvar cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) before surgery for certain cases of squamous cell vulvar cancer. It may help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05620693Recruiting
Cell therapy study for NY-ESO-1–positive soft tissue cancer
This trial tests an engineered immune cell treatment (NY-ESO-1 TCR-T) for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that has returned or spread after standard treatment. It aims to treat cancer cells that show a specific marker (NY-ESO-1) in the tumor.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05356039Recruiting
Study of surgery options and quality of life in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05204862RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TU2218 drug with PD-1 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests TU2218 by itself and with PD-1–type immunotherapy (anti–PD-(L)1) in people with advanced solid cancers. It’s designed to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors when standard options have not worked.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05802394Recruiting
Using blood tests to track cancer after pancreatic treatment
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA, a DNA signal from tumors) can help track how pancreatic cancer responds during planned conversion therapy. It may help doctors spot treatment response earlier and guide next steps.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05754853RecruitingPhase 3
MRG002 antibody compared with standard chemo for HER2 bladder cancer
This trial studies whether MRG002, a targeted antibody treatment, works better than the patient’s chosen standard chemotherapy. It is for people with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer whose disease has progressed after prior platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05452213RecruitingPhase 4
Study patterns of ribociclib response and resistance in breast cancer
This trial looks at how well ribociclib works and why it may stop working over time in people with advanced, hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It also analyzes blood and tissue samples to help researchers understand resistance patterns and improve future treatment decisions.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05823285RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QLS31903 for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and how the medicine works in the body, and also looks at early signs of effectiveness. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors, and for Phase 1b specifically, the tumor must show a marker called GPC3.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05833893RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor plus COPL for newly diagnosed advanced NK/T lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether a medicine called selinexor, combined with COPL, can shrink newly diagnosed NK/T-cell lymphoma that is advanced (stage III–IV). It also looks at how safely the treatment works in people who have good enough blood counts and organ function.
Beijing, HaidianAges 14 years+ - NCT05655247Recruiting

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.
