Testing PET/MRI monitoring for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery
This early-phase study looks at how well PET/MRI scans can monitor treatment response in people with HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. You may be asked to undergo specific scans during “neoadjuvant” therapy (treatment given before the main operation).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07386704Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with chemo and radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests adding nimotuzumab (a targeted antibody) to standard chemoradiation for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer (advanced stage)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,034 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.
