This trial tests a personalized, very precise radiation treatment (called PULS-Pal) for head and neck cancer that cannot be cured with standard therapies. It aims to shrink tumors and help with symptoms while limiting side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03383575RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine plus enasidenib for IDH2-mutant MDS
This trial tests whether combining azacitidine with enasidenib helps people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has an IDH2 mutation. It’s designed for people who are either new to “hypomethylating” treatment or whose MDS returned/worsened after it.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT06152809RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy plus venetoclax for high-risk AML
This trial tests an experimental NK cell therapy (CIML NK cells) given together with venetoclax for people with AML that has high-risk features or is not fully cleared by current treatment. It aims to stop the leukemia from coming back.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06967610RecruitingPhase 2
Pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab for recurrent CLL/SLL
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab) given for a limited time to people whose CLL/SLL has come back after prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer and possibly allow a treatment-free period.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04047641RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Quizartinib with chemotherapy for new or returning leukemia
This trial tests a combination of anti-leukemia drugs (including quizartinib) together with chemotherapy for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare mixed-type leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help by trying to better control cancer in people whose disease is newly diagnosed or has returned/not responded to prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06620302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding DT2216 to chemo for relapsed solid tumors and FLC
This trial is testing whether adding a new drug, DT2216, to standard chemotherapy can help treat solid tumors (not starting in the brain) or fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) that have come back or not responded to treatment. It's for children, teens, and young adults (ages 1 to 39).

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.
