Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06641791RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation approaches for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve symptoms from advanced head and neck cancer that cannot be cured. One is a shorter, more precise treatment (SBRT), and the other is standard radiation. The goal is to see which better improves quality of life and reduces side effects.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07000084RecruitingPhase 3
Testing gemcitabine with BCG for returning bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine to the usual BCG therapy can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back again. If you have had BCG before and your cancer returned, this study might offer a more effective treatment option.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07004582Recruiting
Lab study using mini-tumors to test prostate cancer treatments
This trial uses leftover tumor tissue from biopsies or brachytherapy to grow mini-tumors in the lab. Researchers want to test different treatments on these mini-tumors to find the best options for patients with high-risk or recurrent prostate cancer.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06908668RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus chemo with or without radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests adding a drug called adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy and possibly radiation, given before surgery for breast cancer that is HER2-negative and locally advanced. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors more effectively, potentially allowing for breast-conserving surgery.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06793813RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cadonilimab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it helps control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05950087Recruiting
Blood tests after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer prognosis
This study looks at blood markers—tiny DNA from the blood (cfDNA) and minimal residual disease (MRD)—to better predict outcomes after standard chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help doctors identify who is more likely to do well and who may need closer follow-up or additional treatment planning.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT06079671RecruitingPhase 3
Volrustomig for high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new medicine called volrustomig for women with locally advanced cervical cancer that has not spread. It is given along with standard chemoradiation and aims to improve outcomes.

The goal is to see if adding sirolimus can help control the cancer when standard hormone therapy is no longer working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07718243RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combining two immunotherapies for solid tumors, melanoma, and lung cancer

Tai Chi and aerobic exercise for mood and sleep in late lung cancer
This study tests whether Tai Chi and aerobic exercise can improve clusters of emotional symptoms—like anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and fatigue—in people with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer. If you have these symptoms and are not already doing regular exercise programs, the trial may offer a structured way to feel better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer (advanced stage)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,033 recruiting cancer (advanced stage) 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 cancer (advanced stage) 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 cancer (advanced stage) 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.
