Recruiting studies
- NCT03494946Recruiting

This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07724106RecruitingPhase 1
NeoOVSV vaccine for ovarian cancer after surgery
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own tumor tissue called NeoOVSV. It is meant to train your immune system to fight any remaining cancer after surgery. The vaccine is a personal treatment because it uses your tumor's unique markers.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07676890RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a personalized vaccine for ovarian cancer after surgery
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's genetic material. It is given after surgery to help your immune system recognize and attack any remaining cancer cells, with the goal of preventing the cancer from coming back.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06800768Recruiting
PET scan for finding thyroid cancer that has returned after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread after surgery. It may help your doctor decide on the best next steps for your care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06894576Recruiting
Creating a risk score for blood clot recurrence and bleeding in cancer patients
This study is for people with cancer who have had a serious blood clot. Researchers want to create a risk score that predicts who might have another clot or a bleeding problem from treatment, so they can better tailor care.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06287814Recruiting
Blood test to detect leftover cancer DNA in colorectal cancer patients
This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA remaining after colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to see if the test can help predict whether the cancer will come back, especially in people with stage III cancer who will receive chemotherapy.

TRK-950 with standard chemo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug, TRK-950, added to standard chemotherapy (ramucirumab and paclitaxel) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has worsened after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05674825RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized treatment using tumor test results for aggressive cancers
This early-phase study tests whether a personalized cancer treatment plan based on your tumor’s test results can help people with aggressive cancers that are hard to treat. It may be an option if standard treatments didn’t work, aren’t possible for you, or you have few treatment choices.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04480203Recruiting
Digital coping tools after new breast cancer diagnosis
This trial tests two online programs designed to help people cope after being diagnosed with breast cancer. It may help you manage stress and emotions during treatment or recovery.
OsloAges 20–69 - NCT05326295Recruiting
Breast cancer study using tumor cells in blood
This trial checks whether a blood test that looks at tumor cells can help guide treatment for people with breast cancer. If you join, your care team will follow your responses over time to see if this “phenotype surveillance” approach is useful.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06791603Recruiting
Social media videos for chemo side effects
This study tests whether education delivered through social media videos can help breast cancer patients manage chemotherapy side effects. If you are starting chemotherapy for the first time and can use a smartphone, you may be able to join.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07360743RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy alone for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests whether using immunotherapy drugs (pembrolizumab or cemiplimab) alone, without chemotherapy, can treat advanced lung cancer in people with high PD-L1 levels. It is for people who have not yet received any treatment for their advanced cancer.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07112937Recruiting
Effect of rectal cancer treatment on tumor cells in blood
This study looks at how different treatments for rectal cancer affect tumor cells that travel in your blood. It is an observational study, meaning you will not receive any new treatment, but your blood will be tested to help doctors learn more.
OstravaAges 18 years+ - NCT07059923Recruiting
Predicting immunotherapy response in lung cancer with AI and radiology
This study uses artificial intelligence and CT scan analysis to predict how well lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06434896Recruiting
Blood test to guide chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer
This trial is for people with stage II colon cancer who are not currently getting chemotherapy. It uses a blood test to look for tumor DNA, so doctors can decide if chemotherapy might help prevent the cancer from coming back.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05674357Recruiting
Training therapists to help people with cancer distress
This trial trains therapists in evidence-based treatments to reduce distress related to cancer and cancer care. You may be able to join if you’re being treated or followed at MGH Cancer Center and your distress level is high.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04109079Recruiting
Best surgery plan for breast cancer lymph nodes after chemotherapy
This study looks at the safest and most useful way to remove and check breast-cancer lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help you avoid unnecessary surgery while still getting accurate information about how well the treatment worked.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT07689851RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiotherapy plus an immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial studies a new immunotherapy drug (SHR-1701) combined with standard chemoradiotherapy for people with advanced stomach or esophagus cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding this immune treatment helps control the tumor better than standard treatments alone.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06050317RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab plus chemo and radiation for inoperable pancreatic cancer
This trial combines the immunotherapy drug sintilimab with chemotherapy and radiation for people with inoperable locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have not received prior systemic treatment. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT04278469Recruiting
Study for early breast cancer patients with low-risk genes
This trial studies early, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and looks at a group with “high clinical risk” but “low genetic (tumor) risk.” It may help researchers understand which patients may benefit most from treatment decisions guided by genetic tumor testing.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT02838836Recruiting
Checking for cancer DNA and tumor cells in bodily samples
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06802172Recruiting

Common questions
- 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.
