T-DXd for HER2-mutant lung cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests a drug called T-DXd in people with advanced non-squamous lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene change (mutation) and has spread to the brain but isn't causing symptoms. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and help control the cancer.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT07401498Enrolling by invitation
Studying side effects of lymph node removal in lung cancer surgery
This trial looks at complications from removing lymph nodes during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how to make surgery safer.
UlyanovskAges 18 years+ - NCT07003620RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests if giving immunotherapy with chemotherapy before surgery can shrink tumors in people with advanced cervical cancer. It is for those who have not had any prior treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05952453RecruitingPhase 2
New ovarian cancer treatment with chemo plus maintenance medicines
This Phase 2 trial tests giving chemotherapy before surgery, then continuing two medicines afterward (olaparib and pembrolizumab). It’s designed for people with newly diagnosed Stage III/IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who may benefit from tighter control of the disease.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05805371RecruitingPhase 1
PSCA CAR-T cells with or without radiation for prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a prostate cancer treatment made of PSCA-targeted CAR-T cells, with or without radiation, to help control advanced prostate cancer. It aims to find a safe treatment approach and see how well it works in people whose cancer has PSCA.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04138212RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo alone vs chemo with radiation before esophagus surgery
This study compares chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy plus radiation given before surgery for locally advanced esophagus squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see which treatment helps more people have a successful operation and better cancer control.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT07039994Recruiting
Early palliative care for advanced lung cancer using an e-health system
This study tests whether an online platform can help deliver early palliative care to people with advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve quality of life and manage symptoms from the start of treatment.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07776691RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Raludotatug Deruxtecan for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
This study tests a new drug (raludotatug deruxtecan) with or without another drug (bevacizumab) as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this combination can help keep the cancer from coming back.

Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07120529Recruiting
Comparing two types of hysterectomy for early cervical cancer
This study looks at two ways to remove the uterus and cervix for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery (like laparoscopic or robotic) versus open surgery (traditional large incision). It checks whether the less invasive approach works just as well in terms of survival and keeping the cancer from coming back.

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.
