Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and radiation for advanced breast cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of a PD-L1 inhibitor with a low-dose chemotherapy regimen and either immediate or delayed radiation therapy for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink brain tumors and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT05461768RecruitingPhase 1
BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests BL-M07D1, a new investigational medicine, in people with HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer (and other solid tumors) that can’t be operated on or has spread. It aims to find a safe dose and learn how well the treatment may work based on HER2 levels in tumor tissue.

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.
