Testing a new drug for advanced ER-positive breast cancer
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (FWD1802) for women with a specific type of advanced breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative) that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It looks at whether the drug can slow or stop cancer growth, especially if you have an ESR1 mutation.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06073431Recruiting
Study on weight loss types in advanced cancer
This study looks at different types of weight loss (cachexia) in people with advanced lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. Researchers want to find patterns to better understand and treat it. You can join even if you haven't lost weight yet.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06075524Recruiting
How PD-1 therapy affects immune cells in advanced cancers
This study looks at how your immune system responds to PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy (drugs like Keytruda or Opdivo) for advanced melanoma, lung cancer, and similar cancers. It involves regular blood tests to track your immune cells, which may help doctors understand why these treatments work for some people better than others.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06017557Recruiting
Predicting surgery results for advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at results from surgery to remove as much advanced ovarian cancer as possible after chemotherapy. Participating hospitals are in Italy and Canada.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05530057RecruitingPhase 2
Eribulin plus or minus trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding trastuzumab to eribulin improves outcomes for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has come back or spread. It’s meant for patients whose cancer has progressed after prior HER2 and chemotherapy treatments.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05869682RecruitingPhase 2
Bright light therapy for fatigue and depression in prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a “bright white light” intervention can reduce cancer-related fatigue and depression in people with advanced prostate cancer receiving hormone-based treatment. If it works, it could improve day-to-day well-being while you’re on standard cancer therapies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05754801RecruitingPhase 2
Yunzhi essence for quality of life in advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether Yunzhi essence (a traditional Chinese medicine) can improve quality of life for people with advanced cancer. It also requires certain screening results about life expectancy, thinking/alertness, and symptom pattern.
Hong KongAges 21–89 - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations, with or without an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab, for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT05582499RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant treatment study for certain breast cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a “precision platform” approach—treatment before surgery—based on specific test results from your breast tumor. It may help determine whether the treatment plan works better for people with particular breast cancer subtypes and healthy organ function.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05493566RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Low-dose IL-2 plus pembrolizumab for stage IV lung cancer
This early-phase study tests whether low-dose IL-2 combined with pembrolizumab can help treat stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has not had prior advanced treatment. It may be an option if your tumor has certain immune-marker findings (PD-L1) and you meet safety requirements.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05429970Recruiting
Reducing stress before ovarian cancer surgery with two medicines
This study tests whether giving two commonly used medicines before surgery—one that can lower stress on the body (a beta-blocker) and one that reduces inflammation (a COX-2 inhibitor)—can improve outcomes compared with standard care. It’s for people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are having open surgery.

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.
