Study of TQB2930 for breast cancer that has returned or spread
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2930 alone or with other treatments for people with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. It may help if you have a type of breast cancer called HER2-positive and have not had many prior treatments for advanced disease.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07472517RecruitingPhase 3
Obrixtamig plus standard therapy for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, obrixtamig, to the usual first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer can help people live longer or slow the cancer's growth. The usual treatment is a combination of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06855134Recruiting

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.
