Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04589624RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan to monitor response in head and neck cancers
This Phase 1 study tests an investigational MRI scan (hpMRI) to help doctors see how thyroid cancer and other head-and-neck cancers respond to treatment like radiation or other medicines. If you’re eligible, the scan may help track treatment effects more closely, though it’s still being studied for this purpose.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01137643Recruiting
Sharing blood and tissue samples for blood cancer research
This trial collects tissue, blood, and other body fluid samples from people with blood-related cancers. The goal is to help researchers study these diseases by building a source of samples for future testing.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06223542RecruitingPhase 1
TAK-243 for advanced cancers that haven't responded to other treatments
This trial tests a new drug called TAK-243 for people with advanced cancers (solid tumors or lymphomas) that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05519878Recruiting
Light plus job therapy for fatigue in genitourinary cancer
This trial tests whether light therapy and an occupational therapy fatigue program can reduce fatigue in people with certain urinary-system cancers who still have mild fatigue during treatment. It may help you feel more energized and manage day-to-day activity while cancer treatment is ongoing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06028022RecruitingPhase 2
Reishi mushroom for fatigue and joint/muscle pain in breast cancer
This trial tests whether a reishi mushroom extract can help reduce fatigue and joint or muscle pain in people with breast cancer who are taking aromatase inhibitors. If you have these symptoms, you may be able to join.
Albert Lea, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05058651RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced neuroendocrine cancer outside the lung
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (a rare and aggressive cancer) that started outside the lung. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05466565Recruiting
Peginterferon antiviral treatment after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies an antiviral medicine given after surgery for liver cancer to help prevent the cancer from coming back. It focuses on people who are hepatitis B–positive (HBsAg positive) and have complete remission on follow-up checks.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–65 - NCT05947695Recruiting
Nurse-led comfort and survivorship care for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether a specialized nurse-led care plan soon after diagnosis/treatment helps people living with advanced (metastatic) cancer. It focuses on patients expected to do better than average based on certain prognosis factors.
West Islip, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT03125343Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after rectal cancer treatment for select patients
This study looks at whether some people with rectal cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery after (chemo)radiation, instead closely monitoring their response. It may help some patients reduce treatment burden if the cancer fully responds.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06314906RecruitingPhase 3
Acupuncture plus anti-nausea drugs for breast cancer chemo side effects
This trial tests whether adding electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) to standard anti-nausea medicine can better prevent nausea and vomiting caused by strong chemotherapy. It is for people with early-stage breast cancer who are about to start a very strong chemotherapy regimen.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–75 - NCT06350825RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,539 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.
