Recruiting studies
- NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06708754Recruiting
Light therapy for radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
This study tests if a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce tissue stiffness and swelling caused by radiation for head and neck cancer. It may be an option if you finished radiation in the last 3 years and have moderate to severe scarring or swelling.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06953245Recruiting
Study of skin reactions from radiation in breast cancer patients
This study asks breast cancer patients about their skin reactions during radiation therapy. By sharing your experience, you can help doctors better understand and manage these side effects.

Personalized immune therapy for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer
This trial tests a personalized immune therapy (like a custom vaccine) for people with colorectal cancer that has a positive ctDNA MRD test after surgery. It aims to use the body's own immune system to target any remaining cancer cells and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT03459820Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
PET/CT scan study for high-risk or returning prostate cancer
This trial studies how a special PET/CT scan (using 18F-DCFPyL) helps evaluate prostate cancer that is either high-risk at diagnosis or has come back based on PSA blood tests. It may help your care team better stage (map) the cancer and guide next steps.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05020860RecruitingPhase 2
Study how early breast cancer responds on imaging and under a microscope
This Phase 2 study looks at how well early breast cancer shrinks with treatment and how that matches with what doctors find after surgery under the microscope. The goal is to learn better ways to predict and assess treatment success.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06843707Recruiting
Lung nodule study using blood and tissue metabolism
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06934239RecruitingPhase 4
AI-assisted vs. standard mammograms for breast cancer screening
This trial compares standard mammograms with mammograms aided by artificial intelligence (AI) to see if AI helps find breast cancer more accurately and reduces unnecessary callbacks. If you're 18 or older and getting a routine screening mammogram at one of the six participating health systems, you may be eligible.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06340568RecruitingPhase 3
Study of an experimental drug vs. chemo for recurring uterine cancer
This trial is testing an experimental therapy against standard chemotherapy for people with endometrial cancer that has come back. The study looks for a certain protein (HER2) on cancer cells to decide which treatment group you may be in.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07032584Recruiting
Tele-rehab for rural men with metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a home-based exercise and support program delivered by phone or video for men with metastatic prostate cancer living in rural areas. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life and physical function compared to standard care.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 21 years+ - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07632118RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation and chemotherapy after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy (called the GX regimen) after pancreatic cancer surgery helps prevent cancer from returning in patients with high-risk features. The study aims to see if this combination treatment improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05182944RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for resectable throat cancer
This trial studies whether adding camrelizumab (an immune system drug) to chemotherapy before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). If you are eligible, treatment is given around the time of planned surgery to remove the tumor and lymph nodes.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06172907Recruiting
Support for young adults with cancer and their partners
This study offers support to young adults (ages 25-39) with cancer and their partners. It aims to help couples manage stress during or after cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 25–39 - NCT06528743Recruiting
Testing primer shot radiotherapy for lung cancer
This study is testing a new way of giving a very short, high-dose radiation treatment (called 'primer shot' radiotherapy) for people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if it’s safe and practical for shrinking the main lung tumor and relieving symptoms.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05584826RecruitingPhase 2
MDMA therapy for cancer patients and their partner’s distress
This Phase 2 study tests whether MDMA-assisted therapy can reduce adjustment-related distress in cancer patients who are paired with a loved one who is also concerned. It may help the patient and their significant other cope better through structured therapy sessions, with safety checks before and after each session.
Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07110753Recruiting
Lifestyle program to improve quality of life for cancer patients

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.
