Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06344208Recruiting
Predicting side effects in older adults with head and neck cancer
This trial studies how to predict side effects (toxicity) in older adults (70+) with advanced head and neck cancer. It tests standard treatments like radiation, chemoradiation, or radiation with cetuximab and aims to help doctors tailor care to reduce harm.
Milan, MilanAges 70–99 - NCT06052332Recruiting
Comparing two pre-surgery treatments for older adults with rectal cancer
This study compares two approaches to treating rectal cancer in people age 70 and older who have not yet had surgery.

Antwerp, AntwerpenAges 70 years+ - NCT05889546Recruiting
Rapid autopsy protocol for small cell lung cancer patients
This study looks at a planned, faster way to collect information from patients’ bodies after death who have small cell lung cancer. The goal is to better understand the disease and potentially improve future care, with consent from the patient or their authorized representative.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05255003RecruitingPhase 4

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,534 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.
