Study of a new drug for ovarian cancer and other advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug (DC05F01) for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum treatment, or for those with other advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06188520RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors in women
This trial tests a new drug, AZD8421, alone or with other treatments, for women with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior therapies. It aims to find a safe dose and see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07029399RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT5097 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (NKT5097) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It may also be an option for people with a specific type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.

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.
