Testing a lab-made red blood cell treatment for advanced cancers
This early trial studies whether an engineered (lab-made) red blood cell treatment is safe and tolerable, and whether it may show early anti-cancer activity. It may help people with advanced cancers whose disease has not responded well to standard options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05984576Recruiting
Chemo and radiation for recurrent rectal cancer after prior pelvic radiation
This study looks at combining total neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiation) for rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis after earlier radiation.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06111417Recruiting
Rapid BRCA1/2 test for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
This study tests a new ultra-rapid genetic test for BRCA1/2 mutations in people recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It aims to see if the faster result helps doctors and patients make treatment decisions sooner.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06145074RecruitingPhase 2
Testing propranolol before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if taking propranolol (a blood pressure medication) before surgery helps treat pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works well.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06193083Recruiting
Deprescribing views of patients with advanced cancer
This study asks patients with advanced cancer about their thoughts on stopping medications that may no longer be needed or could be harmful. It aims to understand patient perspectives to improve care.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT06194734RecruitingPhase 3
KC1036 vs. chemo for advanced esophageal cancer
This study compares a new drug, KC1036, to standard chemotherapy options for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer that has progressed after immunotherapy and at least one chemo. It aims to see if KC1036 works better or has fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06266312Recruiting
Lifestyle program before breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether a program of healthy eating, exercise, and stress management before breast cancer surgery is practical and helpful for patients who will receive chemotherapy first. It aims to see if a lifestyle plan can improve your well-being during treatment.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03942328RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell vaccine plus checkpoint treatment after liver radiation
This trial tests a combination of a personalized immune cell treatment (made from your own cells) and a pneumococcal vaccine along with an “immune checkpoint” drug after high-dose radiation for certain unresectable liver cancers. The goal is to help your immune system better attack the cancer and to see how safe and effective this approach is.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06341270Recruiting
Electric acupressure for pain after liver surgery
This trial tests if a gentle electric stimulation on the skin (TEAS) can reduce pain and speed up recovery after liver surgery. The treatment is non-invasive and may be an alternative to pain medicines.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06353997RecruitingPhase 2
New immunotherapy combination before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (INBRX-106 and pembrolizumab) given before surgery for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06406244Recruiting
TEAS for chronic pain after liver surgery
This trial tests whether a gentle, needle-free electrical stimulation on certain points on the body (called TEAS) can help reduce chronic pain after liver surgery and improve long-term survival. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a liver removal and want to explore non-drug pain relief.
ChengduAges 18–80 - NCT06440616Recruiting
Spectral CT scans for lung cancer detection
This trial is testing a new way to look at CT scans (called spectral imaging) to see if it can better detect lung cancer in people who are suspected of having it. If you are being referred for lung cancer testing, this study may help doctors get clearer information from your scans.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges Any age - NCT06478225Recruiting
Cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer

Radiation plus immunotherapy for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with two types of immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors and an injectable drug called IMSA101) can help control metastatic kidney cancer that is only growing in a few spots. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and keep them from growing further.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06680778Recruiting
Using a smartwatch to monitor vital signs in stomach or esophageal cancer patients

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.
