Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06204991RecruitingPhase 1
T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new treatment called ADP-TILIL7 for people with advanced melanoma. It uses your own immune cells (T-cells) that are taken from a tumor, multiplied in a lab, and then given back to you to fight the cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works better than standard options.

Vaccine to help stop lung cancer drug resistance
This early-phase study tests a personalized peptide vaccine designed to help prevent advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer from developing resistance to current targeted medicines. If you are stable on an ALK drug and don’t already have the specific resistance changes the vaccine targets, it may help your cancer stay controlled longer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06940102Recruiting
A study on megestrol acetate for weight loss in advanced digestive cancer
This study tests a special form of megestrol acetate (a medicine that can help with appetite and weight gain) in people with advanced digestive system cancers who are about to start or are already taking a type of targeted therapy called a TKI. The goal is to see if it helps with cancer-related weight loss and wasting (cachexia).
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT04861077RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/MRI monitoring for PD-L1–positive triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to monitor how immunotherapy treatment works in people with triple-negative breast cancer that is PD-L1 positive. It may help doctors better track tumor changes in the body over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT04400695RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted drug for breast cancer with low HER2 levels
This trial tests a new drug that targets breast cancer cells with low levels of the HER2 protein. It may offer a new treatment option for patients whose cancer has spread and not responded well to previous therapies.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06604689Recruiting
AI-guided brain radiation for EGFR-mutant lung cancer with brain mets
This study uses AI to help doctors decide the best way to use brain radiation for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve treatment planning and outcomes for those already taking a third-generation targeted therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05998330Recruiting
Palliative care support for advanced liver disease patients
This study tests whether adding palliative care (extra support for symptoms and planning) during a hospital stay helps people with advanced liver disease and their caregivers feel better and plan ahead.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07215988Recruiting
Studying insurance for skin cancer treatment
This study looks at how insurance covers immunotherapy given before surgery for certain skin cancers. It includes people with Merkel cell, mucosal melanoma, basal cell, or other rare skin cancers who are planning to have surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06293625RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for colon cancer in older adults

DijonAges 70 years+ - NCT06866041Recruiting
Prostate cancer markers and imaging for low-risk patients on active surveillance
This trial looks for new markers and advanced scans to better predict which low-risk prostate cancers might grow. If you have low-risk prostate cancer and are managing it with active surveillance, researchers want to see if PSMA-PET scans and tissue markers can give earlier warning of progression.

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.
