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+ - NCT06257693RecruitingPhase 1
Prostate cancer implant trial before prostate removal surgery

IGFBP-2 vaccine to prevent ovarian cancer return
This trial tests a vaccine that targets a protein called IGFBP-2 to prevent ovarian cancer from coming back. It is for people whose CA-125 blood test shows the cancer might be returning, but who don't yet have tumors visible on scans.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,618 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.
