Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868836RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new antibody combination for advanced lung cancer after targeted therapy
This trial tests a new drug (JS207) that targets both PD-1 and VEGF pathways, given alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific gene change and has stopped responding to targeted therapy (TKI). The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06363734RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer after resistance
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (osimertinib and dalpiciclib) for people with advanced lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation and a change in the CDK4/6 pathway, and whose cancer has stopped responding to a third-generation EGFR targeted therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07412262RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chidamide and ivonescimab for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy resistance
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (chidamide and ivonescimab) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that stopped responding to initial immunotherapy and has a specific protein marker (YAP) at high levels. It aims to see if this new combination can help when standard immunotherapy no longer works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06116682RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for MET-positive advanced lung cancer

Smartphone support program for people with advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a “whole process follow-up” care plan, using a smartphone, to support people with non-small cell lung cancer from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It may help you manage care steps more smoothly if you’re not a candidate for curative (radical) treatment or don’t want surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07110103RecruitingPhase 2
Golidocitinib with immunotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of golidocitinib (a targeted pill) and a PD-1 inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy) as a maintenance treatment after initial chemotherapy. It may help keep your lung cancer from growing longer.

Testing firmanertinib vs chemo for first-line lung cancer with specific EGFR mutations
This trial compares a new targeted therapy pill (firmanertinib) to standard chemotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation (PACC or L861Q). If you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer matches these mutations, this study may offer a more convenient oral option.

Combination therapy for advanced lung cancer with bone metastases
This trial tests a new combination of drugs and radiation to improve the effects of first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bones. The goal is to help shrink tumors and potentially improve overall outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06735131RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a combination of radiation therapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who haven't had chemotherapy for their advanced disease. It aims to see if adding radiation to standard chemotherapy can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06620835RecruitingPhase 2
Optimizing local treatments for ALK-positive lung cancer on brigatinib
This trial is for people with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer who are already taking the targeted therapy brigatinib and have a few remaining spots of cancer. It tests whether adding local treatments (like surgery, focused radiation, or ablation) to the remaining spots can improve outcomes.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06121505RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding low-dose radiation and a type of targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy works better than immunotherapy and chemotherapy alone for people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06078384RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and chemo for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment you receive depends on the level of immune cells (TILs) found in your tumor.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06745908RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for lung cancer after immunotherapy stops working
This trial tests a new drug combination (N-803 and tislelizumab with chemotherapy) for people whose lung cancer stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Springdale, ArkansasAges 18–90 - NCT06500052RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-M17D1 for HER2-positive or low-expression digestive tract and other solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M17D1 for people with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive or low-expression gastrointestinal cancer and other solid tumors. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05508347RecruitingPhase 2

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–70 - NCT06037733Recruiting
Focused radiation to main tumor after chemo-immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors responded well to initial chemo-immunotherapy. Instead of giving full chest radiation, doctors will only target the main tumor to see if it can prevent regrowth with fewer side effects.

Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery versus chemo-radiation
This trial compares adding immunotherapy to standard chemo-radiation before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and whether patients do better after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07046455Recruiting
Trop-2 PET scan for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan to find a protein called Trop-2 on your cancer cells. It helps doctors decide if a targeted treatment (Trop-2 ADC) might work for you.

Check whether PD-1 treatment helps esophagus cancer before surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 medicine (sintilimab) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery improves outcomes for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer. It may help by strengthening the immune response while shrinking the tumor before an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06581419RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IAP0971 in advanced solid tumors and lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called IAP0971 for people with advanced solid tumors or a specific type of lung cancer. It may help if your cancer has not responded to other treatments or if you have PD-L1-positive lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.

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.
