Huaier granules to help prevent colorectal cancer coming back
This study tests whether Huaier granules after surgery can lower the chance that colorectal cancer returns or spreads. It is for people who have recently had “radical” (complete) surgery for certain stages of colorectal cancer and are within about 2 months of that surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06251297Recruiting
Reflexology to prevent nerve damage from chemotherapy
This study tests if foot reflexology can help prevent nerve damage caused by a chemotherapy drug called oxaliplatin in people with colorectal cancer. If it works, it could reduce pain, tingling, or numbness in the hands and feet.
Toulouse, CHU de ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06784765Recruiting

Huaier vs capecitabine to prevent colon cancer return
This study compares two medicines to prevent colorectal cancer from coming back after surgery: a traditional Chinese medicine called Huaier and a standard chemotherapy pill called capecitabine. It is for people with stage 2 colon cancer that was completely removed.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04363164RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone then enzalutamide to stop prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving testosterone first, then enzalutamide (a prostate cancer hormone-blocking pill), can slow or prevent worsening metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for men whose cancer progressed despite ongoing hormone-suppression treatment.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06626178Recruiting
AI for preventing smoking-related diseases
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans and other health data to better identify people at risk for smoking-related diseases like lung cancer. Researchers hope to improve early detection and prevention.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06741072RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine to prevent EBV-related cancer in transplant patients
This trial tests a vaccine (OSU-2131) that may help prevent cancers caused by the Epstein-Barr virus in people waiting for an organ transplant. The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to fight the virus.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT05341141Recruiting
Cold therapy plus compression to prevent nerve damage from chemo
This trial tests whether using cold therapy (cryotherapy) together with compression can lower the chance of numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy. It may help people planning chemotherapy for breast cancer stay more comfortable and function better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–70 - NCT07778290Recruiting
Boswellia cream to prevent skin irritation from radiation
This trial tests a cream made from boswellia (a natural plant extract) to see if it can prevent skin irritation (radiation dermatitis) caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation, this cream might help protect your skin.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07545720RecruitingPhase 2
Pinoxin to prevent radiation skin damage
This study tests whether a protective agent called Pinoxin can prevent or reduce skin damage from radiation therapy. If you're getting radiation treatment for cancer, this trial may help protect your skin during therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05366153Recruiting
Plan to lower future heart attack risk after past cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a “risk-guided” care plan can help prevent coronary artery disease (the buildup that can lead to heart attacks) in people who had cancer treatment that can affect the heart. You may get closer heart risk monitoring and guidance to reduce risk factors, such as cholesterol—especially if you can safely take statins.
Hobart, TasmaniaAges 40–70 - NCT03394417Recruiting
StrataXRT skin gel to prevent rash during head and neck radiation
This trial tests whether a medicated skin gel (StrataXRT) can better prevent painful skin rash (“acute dermatitis”) in people with head and neck cancer who receive chemotherapy and radiation at the same time. If you’re eligible, you may get the study skin product and help doctors find a safer, more comfortable way to protect the skin during treatment.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT06892093Recruiting
Probiotics to prevent diarrhea from neratinib in breast cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer prevention?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 290 recruiting cancer prevention 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 prevention 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 prevention 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.
