Recruiting studies
- NCT05841472RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer without EGFR or ALK
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin, can work better as first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has no EGFR or ALK gene changes. You may be able to join if you have measurable disease, good enough organ function, and meet other safety rules for immune treatment.

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06603844RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CRB-601-01 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug, CRB-601-01, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help shrink tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05177133RecruitingPhase 2
First-line treatment for MSI-high stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding an anti–PD-1 immunotherapy (retifanlimab) and chemotherapy (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin, with leucovorin) works better for people with metastatic or inoperable stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has defective mismatch repair (dMMR). If you’re eligible, it may help shrink tumors and slow the disease without needing prior chemotherapy for metastatic cancer.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07665190RecruitingPhase 2

KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer T-cell therapy for some people
This Phase 1/2 study tests a lab-made immune cell (T-cell) treatment that targets a specific KRAS mutation (G12V) found in some pancreatic cancers. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth after standard treatment, and it mainly focuses on safety and early effectiveness.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04299581RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing treatment plus immunotherapy for advanced bile-duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing part of the liver tumor (cryoablation) combined with an immunotherapy drug called anti–PD-1 can shrink advanced bile-duct cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It may help control the cancer after prior treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT04470024RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a vaccine plus immunotherapy for recurrent head and neck cancer
This early-phase (Phase 1b) study tests a vaccine designed to train the immune system to fight head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, plus standard immunotherapy. It may help some people by boosting the body’s anti-cancer immune response, but it mainly focuses on safety and finding the best approach.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04636008RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with radiation for MSI-H or dMMR rectal cancer
This trial tests the drug sintilimab combined with a specific radiation schedule to treat rectal cancer that is MSI-H or dMMR (tumor DNA repair/instability markers). It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes when standard options are limited or not yet started.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT04977375RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Anti–PD-1 treatment plus focused radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a cancer-immunotherapy medicine (an anti–PD-1 antibody, similar to pembrolizumab) combined with precisely targeted radiation to treat glioblastoma that has come back or progressed. It may help your immune system recognize and attack the tumor while the radiation targets the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05069857RecruitingPhase 2
New pre-surgery treatment tailored to cancer markers in mouth cancer
This Phase 2 study tests medicines given before surgery for stage III/IV oral squamous cell carcinoma, choosing the treatment based on your tumor marker results. It aims to shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by using two targeted types of therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05076682RecruitingPhase 2
Study for hard-to-treat triple-negative breast cancer that keeps growing
This Phase 2 trial tests a treatment plan for triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or kept progressing after prior immunotherapy (sometimes along with targeted therapy or chemotherapy). It may help by trying to make the cancer more controllable when it has become resistant to earlier treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT05125055RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for anti-pd-1?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 112 recruiting anti-pd-1 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 anti-pd-1 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 anti-pd-1 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.
