- NCT03412877RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized immune-cell therapy for advanced metastatic cancers
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy made from your own immune cells, changed to recognize “neoantigens” on cancer cells. It’s designed for people with metastatic (advanced spread) solid cancers or certain other cancers who have tried standard treatments but cancer is still growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT06382948RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant and everolimus for ESR1-mutant advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two oral targeted therapy pills (elacestrant and everolimus) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It is for those whose cancer has an ESR1 mutation and has stopped responding to CDK4/6 inhibitors and hormone therapy.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06201234RecruitingPhase 2
Adding elacestrant to olaparib for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests if adding a new oral medicine (elacestrant) to a standard PARP inhibitor (olaparib) works better for people with advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if the combination can help control the cancer longer.
Stuttgart, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT00568490Recruiting
Finding blood markers that show low oxygen in tumors
This study looks for substances in blood that may reflect how “low-oxygen” a tumor is. If you have head and neck cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, it may help researchers understand tumor oxygen levels and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391956Recruiting
Palliative care for advanced heart failure or cancer
This study tests whether special supportive care (called tiered palliative care) can help people with advanced heart failure or certain advanced cancers feel better and have fewer hospital visits. If you live in Manhattan or Queens, speak English or Spanish, and meet the other requirements, you may be able to join.
Astoria, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06650332RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cadonilimab combo for first-line HER2-positive gastric cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment (cadonilimab plus chemotherapy) as the first therapy for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a certain amount of HER2 protein. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07409805RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for advanced colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a new vaccine (YMN-136) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and hasn't responded to at least three prior treatments. The goal is to see if the vaccine can help control the cancer.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06909604Recruiting
PET scan for HER2 breast cancer during treatment
This trial tests a new imaging test (a special PET scan) that can see HER2 proteins in breast cancer tumors. It is for people who are already getting treatment before surgery to see if the scan helps doctors understand how well the therapy is working.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06797531Recruiting
Ribociclib Real-World Study in Early Breast Cancer
This study observes people with early-stage hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who are taking ribociclib (Kisqali) with hormone therapy after surgery. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is in real life.
RiyadhAges 18–99 - NCT06244537Recruiting
MR-Linac radiation for advanced colon cancer
This trial tests a new radiation machine called MR-Linac for people with advanced colon cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06228209Recruiting
Palliative care for advanced heart failure or cancer
This study tests whether adding a palliative care specialist to your regular care team can improve your quality of life if you have advanced heart failure or advanced lung or certain gastrointestinal cancers. It is for people who have been in the hospital recently and live in Manhattan.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04985266RecruitingPhase 2
Watch blood DNA for early breast cancer return, then add palbociclib
This study checks for early signs that ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer may be coming back by testing your blood for cancer DNA. If signs are found, it tests whether adding palbociclib plus fulvestrant works better than standard hormone therapy alone to prevent recurrence.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06335667Recruiting
MRI vs. TURBT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study compares two ways to check if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer: an MRI scan (mpMRI) versus a standard surgery called TURBT (where a small tool removes a sample of the tumor). The goal is to see if the MRI can be as accurate as the surgery, so future patients might avoid an extra procedure.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06743308Recruiting
New questionnaire to improve understanding in advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new questionnaire to help people with advanced lung cancer better understand their illness. It is for patients who are being treated at MD Anderson and were recently diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07328347Recruiting
Improving dental care for head and neck cancer
This study looks at how to make dental care better for people with head and neck tumors. Dentists in Germany will also take part to share their views.
GöttingenAges 18 years+ - NCT07281833RecruitingPhase 3
Testing capivasertib with hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug called capivasertib combined with standard hormone therapy for people with advanced breast cancer that is HR-positive and HER2-negative. It is for those whose cancer has progressed on previous hormone therapy and who have a specific gene change (PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN).

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT05658731Recruiting
Radiation planning study to protect thinking in children
This study compares how radiation is planned to see whether it better protects thinking and memory in children and young adults. It may help future patients by learning which planning approach leads to better cognitive (thinking) outcomes.

7T MRI scan to find tiny brain metastases in small-cell lung cancer
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to detect very small brain metastases in people with small-cell lung cancer who choose not to get preventive brain radiation. The goal is to see if this advanced scan can find hidden spots in the brain that regular MRIs miss.

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.
