BalashikhaAges 18–75 - NCT07478900Recruiting
Tattoo marking breast tumors before chemo
This trial tests a simple method: marking the tumor with a small tattoo before chemotherapy. The tattoo helps surgeons find the exact spot for lumpectomy after the tumor shrinks, so you can keep more of your breast.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–75 - NCT07448142RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug called pucotenlimab, and chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if adding radiation helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuanggongAges 18–75 - NCT03249519Recruiting
Radiation plus heat for advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether adding controlled heat (“hyperthermia”) to radiation therapy (or radiation with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes in advanced cervical cancer. It focuses on people who can safely receive intensive pelvic radiation and heat treatment.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT03025477RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two first-treatment options for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two different treatment strategies as the first chemotherapy after surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian-tube cancer. It may help doctors find a more effective or better-tolerated approach for people in your situation.
DijonAges 18–75 - NCT05201430RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFOXIRI vs CapeOX before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy plans given before rectal cancer surgery to see which helps more people and works better for disease control. If you have locally advanced rectal cancer and have not had treatment yet, this study may be an option.

Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05450029RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to chemo-radiation for rectal cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer (advanced stage)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,008 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.
