Testing tovorafenib plus rituximab for hairy cell leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination (tovorafenib and rituximab) for people with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) whose cancer has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600E. It looks at safety and how well the drugs work, both for people who have had treatment before and for those who have not.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06570447RecruitingPhase 2
Glofitamab and chidamide for relapsed or refractory DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, glofitamab and chidamide, for people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help when other options have stopped working.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05592886Recruiting
Oral probiotic-and-prebiotic drink to prevent colon polyps returning
This study tests whether an oral synbiotic (a probiotic plus a prebiotic) can reduce the chance that advanced colon growths come back after they were removed. It also looks at changes in stool-related bacterial “gene markers” that may signal lower risk over time.
Hohhot, Inner MongoliaAges 18–90 - NCT06090903Recruiting
MRI Study to Understand Glioblastoma Biology Before Surgery
This study uses MRI scans to learn more about the biology of glioblastoma before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the tumor behaves and improve future treatments.

Engineered immune cells for relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma in youth
This early-phase trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) for children and young adults whose rhabdomyosarcoma has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these specially engineered cells can find and attack the cancer.

Zotiraciclib for recurrent brain tumors with IDH mutations
This early-phase study tests zotiraciclib in people with recurring diffuse gliomas (brain tumors) that have an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. It may help slow the tumor or shrink it by targeting a specific change in tumor biology.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 15 years+ - NCT06487481RecruitingPhase 1

Testing venetoclax and gilteritinib with ASTX727 for FLT3 leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (ASTX727, venetoclax, and gilteritinib) for adults with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for people whose disease has come back, is not responding, or (for some) is newly diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07405086RecruitingPhase 4
Morning vs. afternoon immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial compares giving immunotherapy in the morning versus the afternoon to see if timing affects how well it works. It is for people with certain types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have not had this treatment before.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04991870RecruitingPhase 1
Early-stage immune cell therapy for recurrent grade 4 brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a gene-edited immune cell treatment given into the brain to treat recurrent (returning) grade 4 glioblastoma or related tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can slow tumor growth.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT06223542RecruitingPhase 1
TAK-243 for advanced cancers that haven't responded to other treatments
This trial tests a new drug called TAK-243 for people with advanced cancers (solid tumors or lymphomas) that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03214562RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for acute leukemia
This trial studies how well venetoclax combined with chemotherapy treats newly diagnosed or returning (relapsed) or hard-to-treat (refractory) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s mainly for people who can’t use standard AML therapy well, or whose disease came back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04774393RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study for AML after it returns or resists treatment
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (decitabine/cedazuridine, venetoclax, and ivosidenib or enasidenib) in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or hasn’t responded. It may help control the leukemia by targeting cancer cells and specific genetic changes in the leukemia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05979064Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer recurrence?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 691 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.
