Gene testing to predict lung cancer treatment response and monitor recurrence
This trial uses advanced gene sequencing technology on blood and tumor tissue samples from people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this testing can help doctors better predict which treatments will work and detect if the cancer comes back early.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06279364RecruitingPhase 3
Testing SKB264 vs standard chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SKB264 against standard chemotherapy options for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have not yet received chemotherapy for their advanced disease. The goal is to see if SKB264 works better than the usual treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07167433Recruiting
Observational study of ovarian cancer from 2021 onward
This study looks at the real-world experiences of patients with ovarian cancer, whether newly diagnosed or with persistent or recurrent disease. It aims to learn more about the disease and its treatment over time.
Barretos/SPAges 18 years+ - NCT05432518RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Pilot study for surgery and new medicine in recurrent glioblastoma
This early study looks at a treatment plan (including resection/surgery and an added medicine) for glioblastoma that has come back after standard therapy. The goal is to see how well it controls tumor growth and whether it is tolerable.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06732323RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ESG401 for triple-negative breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a new drug, ESG401, for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or spread and cannot be removed by surgery. It compares ESG401 to standard chemotherapy options to see which works better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05424029Recruiting
Test blood and lung fluid markers to predict lung cancer return
This study looks at tiny particles from the body (including from lung samples) to see if they can predict whether non-small cell lung cancer comes back after surgery. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk of recurrence sooner, so follow-up plans can be better tailored.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04919629RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatments for recurrent ovarian cancer with fluid buildup
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding two medicines—APL-2 plus pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus bevacizumab—works better than bevacizumab alone for recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It also focuses on people who have symptoms from cancer-related fluid (ascites or pleural effusion).
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07000084RecruitingPhase 3
Testing gemcitabine with BCG for returning bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine to the usual BCG therapy can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back again. If you have had BCG before and your cancer returned, this study might offer a more effective treatment option.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04151940Recruiting
PET/CT scan changes during chemo with immune therapy
This study looks at how PET/CT scan results change while you receive chemo plus an immune therapy (a PD-1/PD-L1 medicine) for stage IV lung cancer. The goal is to better understand what the scans mean during treatment, which may help guide care in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06677190RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan for Recurrent Clear Cell Gynecologic Cancer
This study tests a daily pill called belzutifan for people with a rare type of gynecologic cancer (clear cell carcinoma) that has come back or not gone away after standard treatments. The drug works by targeting a protein that helps tumors grow when oxygen levels are low.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07156227RecruitingPhase 1
Testing camonsertib with radiation for returning head and neck cancer
This study tests whether adding the drug camonsertib to radiation therapy can help people whose head and neck cancer has come back in a spot that was already treated with radiation. Camonsertib is an experimental drug that may help radiation work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05945875RecruitingPhase 1
Dual scans to find head and neck cancer spread
This early-stage study tests two different imaging (scanning) methods to better detect head and neck cancer. Your results from the scans may help doctors see where disease is before standard surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05901545RecruitingPhase 1
Test an iodine-labeled drug to map neck lymph nodes
This Phase 1 study tests a labelling of panitumumab with iodine (111In) to see how well it can identify lymph nodes in head and neck cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve lymph node staging (which can help guide treatment), with the main focus on safety and early performance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT04900558Recruiting
Study outcomes after robotic bladder removal surgery
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
Florence, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT06682728RecruitingPhase 2
Treating high-risk bladder cancer after surgery
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (sacituzumab govitecan and nivolumab) given after surgery to prevent the return of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has a high chance of coming back despite surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03758976Recruiting
Study of scans in advanced breast cancer recurrence
This study looks at people with advanced breast cancer to better understand recurrence by using information from recent scans. It may help researchers improve how advanced disease is assessed and followed over time.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT04375384RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab after immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether giving cetuximab after prior immunotherapy can help people with head and neck squamous cell cancer shrink tumors or slow their growth. You may be eligible if you’ve already had a PD-1–based immunotherapy treatment, and you meet health and safety requirements.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05726370RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus chemotherapy before curative surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable, recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer. It also studies how these treatments affect the tumor and immune response using required tissue and blood samples.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer recurrence?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 680 recruiting cancer recurrence 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 recurrence 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 recurrence 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.
