Recruiting studies
- NCT05713006RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Alectinib drug handling study for ALK-positive advanced lung cancer
This early-phase trial studies how alectinib (an ALK-blocking medicine) moves through the body and how it’s tolerated in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has an ALK rearrangement. You may be considered if you have ALK-positive, recurrent or advanced disease and have already had specific prior treatments.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05805319Recruiting
Food intervention for people with lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial studies whether a specific diet can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving immunotherapy (a standard cancer treatment). It mainly checks whether participants can follow the diet plan and tolerate the food changes safely.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05830500RecruitingPhase 4
Anlotinib for advanced medullary thyroid cancer
This trial studies anlotinib in people with advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer that has been getting worse. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is for patients who can’t have curative surgery.

Gut help to prevent diarrhea from EGFR-targeted lung cancer drugs
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding glutamine plus L. reuteri can help prevent severe diarrhea caused by EGFR-targeted treatments in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. If it works, it could make treatment easier to tolerate and help you stay on the planned therapy.

Zipalertinib for lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 mutations
This Phase 2 trial tests zipalertinib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR mutations, especially “exon 20 insertions.” It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, including in some people with brain metastases.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06216171Recruiting

EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06238648RecruitingPhase 2
Epcoritamab for B-cell lymphoma after CAR-T therapy
This trial tests if the drug epcoritamab can help people with B-cell lymphoma whose cancer showed only a partial response 30 days after CAR-T cell therapy. It compares epcoritamab to simply monitoring the condition.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06263491RecruitingPhase 2
Pirtobrutinib and Rituximab for Low/Medium Risk MCL

Testing YL202 for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called YL202 for people with advanced breast cancer. It is for those who have already tried certain targeted treatments (HER2 or TROP2 antibody-drug conjugates) and they stopped working. The goal is to see if YL202 can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06496048RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lurbinectedin for small cell lung cancer that has returned
This trial compares a new drug combination (lurbinectedin with or without irinotecan) against the standard treatment (topotecan) for people whose small cell lung cancer has come back after initial chemotherapy. It aims to see if the new options work better.
Jilin CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06521541Recruiting
Prehabilitation program for stomach cancer surgery patients
This study tests a program of nutrition, exercise, and emotional support before and during chemotherapy and stomach cancer surgery. It aims to help patients recover faster and have fewer complications.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07242547RecruitingPhase 2
Tarlatamab maintenance for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy medicine called tarlatamab given as maintenance therapy after initial treatment for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to keep the cancer from coming back.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06636734RecruitingPhase 2
Lovastatin plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) works better than pembrolizumab alone for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy before and aren't already on a statin.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06711432Recruiting
Blood Pressure Management During Tumor Surgery and Brain Function
This trial compares different blood pressure management strategies during abdominal tumor surgery to see which one better protects cognitive function (thinking, memory, and clarity). It is for patients who have multiple stroke risk factors and are undergoing a lengthy surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–85 - NCT06746623Recruiting
Non-endoscopic screening for Barrett's in veterans without reflux
This trial tests a new, non-endoscopic screening method for Barrett's esophagus (a condition that can lead to cancer) in veterans who do not have chronic acid reflux. It aims to find early signs of the condition using a simple swallowable device, potentially avoiding the need for a traditional endoscopy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40–85 - NCT06769971RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab and cadonilimab plus chemo for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two experimental immunotherapy drugs (ivonescimab and cadonilimab) with standard chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06801340Recruiting

Comparing a new scan to standard scan during head and neck cancer radiation
This trial is testing whether a newer type of PET/CT scan (F-18 NaF) can better detect blood vessel problems caused by radiation therapy than the standard scan (F-18 FDG) in people with head and neck cancer. If successful, it could lead to better ways to prevent and manage these complications.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923150Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,622 recruiting cancer patients 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 patients 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 patients 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.
