Santander, CantabriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06113016RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing frailty with fisetin and exercise in breast cancer survivors
This study tests whether adding a supplement called fisetin to an exercise program can help prevent frailty in women who have finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. If you are postmenopausal, have completed chemo within the last year, and can walk a certain distance, you may qualify.
Alhambra, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06322888Recruiting
Exercise study for women with dense breasts
This trial tests if resistance and aerobic exercise can help prevent breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue. You would join a supervised exercise program to see if it reduces your risk.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–59 - NCT04874038RecruitingPhase 3
Lidocaine infusions to prevent long-lasting pain after breast surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether receiving lidocaine through an IV during breast surgery can lower the chance of ongoing pain afterward. If it works, it may help some people avoid chronic, surgery-related pain in the chest wall, shoulder, or arm.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–100 - NCT07109817RecruitingPhase 2
Desloratadine to prevent nerve damage from taxane chemo in breast cancer
This trial tests if the allergy medicine desloratadine can prevent nerve damage (numbness, tingling, pain) caused by taxane chemotherapy in people with early-stage breast cancer. Taking desloratadine daily during chemo may help protect your nerves.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06417567Recruiting
Preventing nausea and vomiting after GI cancer surgery
This study tests whether the medication NEPA (Netupitant and Palonosetron) can prevent nausea and vomiting in people who have had surgery for liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic cancer. It may help those who want to avoid post-surgery sickness.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05834413Recruiting
Herbs plus chemo and immunotherapy to prevent lung cancer spread
This study looks at whether staged Chinese herbal medicine added to standard treatment can lower the risk of lung cancer coming back or spreading after surgery. It is for people with stage Ib to IIIb non-small cell lung cancer whose tests show no “driver gene” targets.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT04588402Recruiting
Tests whether HPV vaccination prevents cervical HPV infection in young women
This study looks at whether HPV vaccination lowers the chance of getting HPV in the cervix. It will collect cervical samples and ask questions to see how vaccination affects infection in women in Sikkim, India.
Gangtok, SikkimAges 18–22 - NCT05627674Enrolling by invitation
Help improve lung cancer screening and quitting support uptake
This study tests a “precision” approach to help people who are newly eligible for lung cancer screening actually get screened and start smoking-cessation treatment. If it works, it could make screening and quitting help easier to access and more engaging.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05464082RecruitingPhase 2
Collect tumor samples to guide early breast cancer recurrence care
This Phase 2 study tests a “precision” approach using tumor sample testing to help predict, prevent, and treat early metastatic recurrence in triple-negative or hormone-receptor–low, HER2-negative breast cancer. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to provide tumor tissue before (or in place of) standard chemotherapy, so researchers can learn which tumor features matter most.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07515027Recruiting
Acupuncture plus anti-nausea medication after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether combining acupuncture with a standard anti-nausea medication can better prevent nausea and vomiting after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. Many patients undergoing this surgery experience these side effects, especially when taking pain medication afterward.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07146672RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Super DC cell injection to prevent cancer recurrence after surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer prevention?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 291 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.
