Recruiting studies
- NCT06939127RecruitingPhase 2
Cold therapy, immunotherapy, and chemo before and after lung cancer surgery

Chemo after surgery for certain stage III colon cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with colon cancer that was diagnosed before surgery as stage III and later found to be without certain high-risk features. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must meet specific surgery and health criteria.

New targeted drugs for advanced lung cancer with EGFR L858R
This study tests whether taking dacomitinib plus anlotinib as a first treatment can shrink or control advanced lung cancer that has the EGFR L858R mutation. It may help people who have not had any standard drug treatment yet, especially if their brain metastases are stable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05495152RecruitingPhase 3
Sintilimab after esophageal surgery to help prevent cancer return
This trial looks at adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy) after surgery for certain stages of esophageal squamous cell cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back after standard treatment.

This trial tests a combination of three drugs (lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and CapeOX chemotherapy) as the first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is PD-L1 positive and has a low TMEscore. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06623461RecruitingPhase 2

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06632093Recruiting
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer after standard treatment fails
This trial tests a triple combination of liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC) plus immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) and targeted therapy (Lenvatinib) for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into the portal vein and who have already tried and failed standard treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06361589Recruiting
Lorlatinib for advanced ALK-positive lung cancer
This study is testing a targeted therapy called lorlatinib in people with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer. It aims to see how well this oral medication works in a real-world setting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT04879121RecruitingPhase 2
Larotrectinib for tumors with extra NTRK gene copies
This trial studies larotrectinib, a targeted medicine, in people with solid tumors that have extra copies (amplification) of the NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 gene. It’s for cancers that have already been treated with standard options or where standard options are unlikely to help.
Houston, TexasAges 16 years+ - NCT06421298RecruitingPhase 2
Tafolecimab and sintilimab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer (advanced stage)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,033 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.
