Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy Combination for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of four treatments (two immunotherapy drugs, a blood-vessel-blocking drug, and chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver) to shrink unresectable (inoperable) advanced liver cancer and potentially make it removable by surgery. The goal is to help patients who have never had cancer treatment before.

ACM-CpG injection for advanced solid tumors that responded to immunotherapy before
This trial tests a new injection, ACM-CpG, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that previously responded to immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) but later grew again. The goal is to see if ACM-CpG can help when other treatments have stopped working.

Personalized treatment for advanced lung cancer with long response to first-line therapy
This trial tests a combination of ivonescimab and docetaxel for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have had a long response (11-15 months without the cancer getting worse) to first-line immunotherapy. The goal is to see if adjusting treatment based on ctDNA-MRD levels can improve outcomes.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT06808971RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative drug combo for advanced stomach cancer
This study tests a combination of four drugs given before and after surgery for a type of stomach or throat-stomach cancer that can be removed. The drugs are adebrelimab (immunotherapy), nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and tegafur. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07633626Recruiting
Vortioxetine for thinking problems from ALK lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a medication called vortioxetine can help improve memory, focus, and thinking problems caused by lorlatinib, a drug used to treat ALK-positive lung cancer. You would take vortioxetine alongside your current cancer treatment to see if it helps your brain function.
BogotáAges 18 years+ - NCT05877599RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new type of therapy (NT-175) for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change. It might help if your tumor has the TP53 R175H mutation and you have the HLA-A*02:01 immune marker.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04099290Recruiting
Blood DNA test in newly diagnosed head and neck cancer
This study looks at “circulating tumor DNA” (tumor DNA found in blood) in people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer. Researchers want to see how the blood DNA levels relate to the cancer and how it may guide treatment after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06708949RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy combo for advanced kidney cancer
This trial compares two immunotherapy combinations—nivolumab/relatlimab/ipilimumab vs. nivolumab/ipilimumab—as first treatment for advanced kidney cancer with clear cell features. It aims to see which combo works better for people who haven't had prior therapy.

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.
