Testing two ways to boost radiation to prevent rectal surgery
This study looks at whether two different added “boosts” of radiation can work as well for rectal cancer patients, aiming to avoid or reduce the need for rectal cancer surgery. You would receive a specific combination of radiation (including brachytherapy) and chemotherapy, and your tumor’s location and size will determine if you can take part.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06906341RecruitingPhase 2
Relacorilant combo for gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a drug called relacorilant combined with different treatments for ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancers. It may help patients whose cancer has stopped responding to standard therapies.

ARX788 for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies a new drug called ARX788 for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06891651Recruiting
21-gene testing for older breast cancer patients with lymph node spread
This trial looks at using a 21-gene test to guide treatment decisions for women aged 65 or older who have breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this test can help avoid unnecessary chemotherapy in this group.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65 years+ - NCT05460000RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib after early ovarian cancer chemo—short vs long
This trial tests whether taking niraparib (a maintenance anti-cancer pill) for a shorter time after 3 cycles of platinum chemotherapy works as well as taking it after 6 cycles. It is for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has been fully removed (no visible tumor) and is “HRD-positive,” meaning it has certain DNA repair weaknesses.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06202118Recruiting
Alpha radiation therapy for breast cancer in older or frail patients
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy (DaRT) that uses tiny, implantable seeds to deliver targeted alpha radiation to breast tumors. It is designed for older patients (65+) or those who are too frail for surgery, offering a less invasive option for controlling the cancer.
JerusalemAges 65–120 - NCT06651242Recruiting
Support for young cancer patients and their parents
This trial tests a decision-support program for children and teens with cancer and their parents. It aims to help families communicate and make choices together during treatment.
Kaohsiung CityAges 7–20 - NCT04293796Recruiting
Skipping breast surgery after complete response
This trial looks at whether some people with breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery after they respond completely to treatment before surgery. If you have no remaining cancer in the tissue and lymph node tests, this study checks whether the “watch-and-wait” approach is feasible and safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–70 - NCT07124546Recruiting
Acceptance and commitment therapy for cancer distress
This trial tests a type of counseling called acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people with incurable cancer feel less distressed. It is done in a group over the internet, so you can join from home.

Blood tests to find hidden cancer after a blood clot
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or blood signs, that may help detect hidden (occult) cancer in people who recently had a blood clot in the leg or a lung clot. It may help doctors catch cancer earlier by improving detection after venous thromboembolism.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07848815Recruiting
Lung cancer checks for COPD patients
This study looks at people with COPD to find lung cancer earlier using risk-based checks. It may help catch cancer sooner and guide better care.

PET/CT scan study for certain prostate, brain, or breast cancers
This early-phase study tests special PET/CT scans using a radioactive tracer to see cancer areas that have specific targets. It may help doctors better visualize tumors and plan next steps, using scans that you may already be familiar with (FDG) plus targeted tracers.

- Are there clinical trials for cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,537 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.
