Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07717307Recruiting
Comparing two neck surgeries for oral cancer spread
This trial tests whether a smaller neck surgery works as well as a larger one for people with oral cancer that has spread to one lymph node. The goal is to see if less extensive surgery can reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Kolhāpur, MaharashtraAges 21–75 - NCT05285358RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol chemo plus standard drugs for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the drug paclitaxel directly into your belly as a mist, along with two standard chemo drugs given through your veins, for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the cancer in the belly.

Memphis, TennesseeAges 5–20 - NCT03730922Recruiting
Delayed vs immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy and radiation
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy followed by radiation: a reconstruction done later (delayed) versus one done sooner (delayed-immediate). The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for recovery after treatment.

Everett, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06903468Recruiting
New cavity marking technique for breast cancer surgery and radiation
This trial tests a new way to mark the area where breast cancer is removed during lumpectomy with oncoplastic reconstruction. The goal is to make follow-up radiation more precise and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06762405RecruitingPhase 3
Testing dostarlimab with short radiation for MSI rectal cancer

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.
