Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT06448026RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and cetuximab before surgery for mouth or throat cancer
This trial tests whether combining two targeted drugs (cemiplimab and cetuximab) before surgery can help people with recurrent mouth or throat cancer that has come back after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach makes surgery more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06900595RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib with immunotherapy for advanced adrenal cancer
This trial tests adding the targeted drug cabozantinib to the immunotherapy cemiplimab for people with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It checks if the combination works better than cabozantinib alone.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12 years+ - NCT07185165RecruitingPhase 2
PET Scan for Prostate Cancer Recurrence After Focal Therapy
This study uses a special PET/CT scan (Flotufolastat F 18) to look for leftover or returning prostate cancer after you've had a targeted treatment called focal therapy. The goal is to see if the scan can help find cancer that might need further treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT03659448RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug that helps map colon and rectal cancer during surgery
This Phase 3 study tests SGM-101, a drug used during surgery to help doctors better outline primary, recurrent, and spread (metastatic) colorectal cancer. It may improve how completely tumors are identified and removed during an operation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07506239Recruiting
Laser therapy for low-grade brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a laser treatment called LITT for low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) that has come back or is growing despite prior treatment. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective in young people aged 2 to 25.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT05557578RecruitingPhase 2
New drug before surgery for resectable bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a “neoadjuvant” (before-surgery) treatment for resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver) that has higher risk of coming back. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before the operation, and to see if patients can safely undergo surgery afterward.

Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.

Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.

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.
