Recruiting studies
- NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00177268Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples in skin diseases research
This study collects blood, urine, and possibly small tissue samples to learn more about cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and either eczema or atopic dermatitis. It may help researchers better understand these skin conditions and improve future treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01048281Recruiting
Study of stomach and esophagus cancer samples
This study looks at stomach (gastric) and esophagus cancer, using clinical information and tissue samples. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01915225Recruiting
Collecting solid tumor samples during cancer biopsy or surgery
This trial collects tissue (samples) from people who are already scheduled for biopsy or surgery for certain solid cancers. It aims to improve future testing and research while checking that taking the sample is safe and doesn’t add extra risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT02206841Recruiting
Study to confirm fatty liver and build fibrosis test markers
This study enrolls people with confirmed fatty liver to help researchers create and validate tests that may estimate liver scarring (fibrosis). It focuses on collecting medical information and verifying the liver condition using lab/scan results, which could help improve future care.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT02250352Recruiting
Biopsy study to collect breast tumor tissue samples
This study takes small tissue samples (core biopsies) from people with known or suspected breast cancer and stores them for research. It may help scientists better understand breast tumors, especially when the cancer has spread.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02165059Recruiting
Stomach and small-bowel tissue study during surgery
This study collects small tissue samples from the stomach and upper small intestine while you’re already having certain kinds of GI (digestive) or abdominal surgery. It aims to learn what causes stomach or bowel movement problems in some patients, which could guide future diagnosis and care.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 6 months–90 years - NCT02772367Recruiting
Make heart muscle cells from blood or skin in breast cancer
This study grows heart muscle cells from your blood or skin to better understand why some people develop heart problems from HER2 cancer treatments. You may be helping researchers learn how to predict and prevent treatment-related heart damage.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02735824Recruiting
Genetic study of immune problems in children
This study looks for new genetic causes of immune system conditions that can run in families. If you join, researchers will collect health information (and usually samples) from children with immune concerns and from close relatives for comparison.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT02534649Recruiting
Drug-matching trial for adults with cancer DNA changes
This trial looks for the specific DNA or tumor changes in your cancer and then matches you to a targeted drug plan. It’s meant for people with early cancer that has not already been treated in this study.
BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT02491840Recruiting
Testing lab markers that may predict chemotherapy benefit
This pilot study looks at stomach (gastric) and upper stomach/cardia cancer to find lab “markers” that could predict whether chemotherapy before and after surgery will work better. If you qualify, your tumor or blood samples may be tested to understand who benefits most from treatment.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT02511288Recruiting
Blood tests to monitor advanced lung cancer during care
This study checks whether “liquid biopsies” (blood tests) can help monitor advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It looks at different patient groups based on timing and tumor features, aiming to make cancer tracking easier and less invasive.
AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT02572778Recruiting
Study using patient tumor samples in head and neck cancer
This study uses tumor tissue taken from people with head and neck cancer, then grows it in a lab to better understand the cancer and predict responses. If you have a new or returning cancer and can share key medical details and follow-up information, you may be able to take part.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT02910895Recruiting
Test of lab-grown sarcoma samples to guide treatment research
This study uses tumor samples from soft tissue sarcoma to create lab models that researchers can test. It may help scientists better understand sarcoma and find more personalized treatment ideas for people like you.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT02650622Recruiting
Study of genetic and metabolic diseases in children
This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
Dallas, TexasAges 1 day+ - NCT02869802Recruiting
Study types of pancreatic cancer using tumor gene testing
This trial studies metastatic pancreatic cancer by taking a small tissue sample and analyzing its genes. It may help doctors better understand which cancer subtypes patients have, which can guide future treatment choices.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03180918Recruiting
Freezing testicular tissue before very fertility-damaging cancer treatment
This trial studies whether freezing a small piece of testicular tissue before certain aggressive cancer treatments can help preserve future fertility. It is meant for children or teens who face a high risk of infertility from specific treatments when usual sperm freezing is not possible.
BaselAges 3 months–18 years - NCT03193151Recruiting
Microarray testing to guide care after liver transplant
This study looks at how special lab tests from tiny tissue samples (microarrays) could help guide diagnosis and treatment in people who receive a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and choose care more accurately.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03387865Recruiting
Lung cancer database study for newly diagnosed patients
This study builds a detailed lung-cancer database by collecting clinical and lab information from people newly diagnosed. It aims to help doctors better understand lung cancer and how patients are treated from the start.
LilleAges Any age - NCT03209791Recruiting
Study alcohol-related effects on muscle recycling in the liver
This study looks at how alcoholic liver disease may change a natural body clean-up process in muscle. It compares people with alcoholic liver disease to people without it to better understand the biology and identify possible targets for treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT02931513Recruiting
Blood marker test in newly diagnosed PBC patients
This study looks at how a specific blood marker (sCD163) changes in people newly diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). It’s mainly meant to see whether this marker could help predict treatment response, especially before starting UDCA.

New drug combo for AML patients who can't have strong chemo
This trial tests a new drug combination (iadademstat plus azacitidine and venetoclax) for people with newly diagnosed AML who cannot have or do not want standard intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding iadademstat makes the treatment work better.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06417801Recruiting
Study of ESR1 gene changes in blood in advanced breast cancer
This study looks for changes in the ESR1 gene in the blood of people with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer. It compares these blood test results with tumor tissue results to learn more about the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biopsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 961 recruiting biopsy 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 biopsy 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 biopsy 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.
