This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) after optimal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for women who have already received 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery.
MurciaAges 18–70 - NCT06126406RecruitingPhase 1
CEA-targeting CAR-T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR-T) designed to attack cancer cells that make a protein called CEA. It may be an option for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, gastric, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments.

Perioperative study of IBI363 for MHC-II-negative advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called IBI363 given before and after surgery for people with a certain type of advanced stomach cancer that lacks the MHC-II marker. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06903117RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-Cell Therapy for CEA-Positive Advanced Lung Cancer
This early-stage trial tests a special immune cell treatment (CAR T cells) designed to target and attack lung cancer cells that have a protein called CEA on their surface. It's for people with advanced lung cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments without success.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06996782RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung cancer study testing new combination treatments
This study tests a new drug (rilvegostomig) alone or with chemotherapy or another drug (ramucirumab) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It aims to see if these combinations work better than standard treatments.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07300150RecruitingPhase 1
PT0511 for KRAS-mutated or amplified advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called PT0511 that targets a specific gene change (KRAS) found in some advanced solid tumors. It's for people whose cancer has not responded well to other treatments and who are looking for a new option.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07155317RecruitingPhase 2
Time-of-day immunotherapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy at a specific time of day can improve its effectiveness for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help you if you have stage IV melanoma and have not had immunotherapy in the last year.

Comparing two treatments for head and neck cancer before chemoradiation
This trial tests two different drug combos—one using an EGFR-targeted therapy alone, the other adding an immunotherapy—before standard chemoradiation for locally advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better without prior treatment.

New targeted drug plus chemo for advanced ovarian cancer
This study tests whether a new targeted drug (distamab vedotin) combined with standard chemo (carboplatin) works better than chemo alone for women with advanced ovarian cancer that has high levels of HER2. It is for women who have not had chemotherapy yet and have already had surgery to remove the tumor.

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.
