Study of a new drug for cancers expressing CD44v6
This trial tests a new radioactive drug called [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 for patients with certain advanced cancers (like thyroid, head and neck, lung, vulvar, or cervical cancer) that have a specific protein called CD44v6 on their surface. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard options have stopped working.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06640283RecruitingPhase 2
Circulating tumor DNA monitoring for cervical and anal cancer
This trial uses a blood test to track tumor DNA in patients with HPV-related cervical or anal cancer. It aims to see if this test can detect early signs of recurrence after radiation therapy, helping guide follow-up care.

Oxaliplatin side effects linked to HMGB1 blood levels
This study checks if a substance called HMGB1 in your blood is linked to nerve damage and liver side effects from the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. It is for people with a specific type of stomach or pancreas cancer that can be surgically removed.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06649565Recruiting
AI model to predict breast cancer treatment response
This trial uses an artificial intelligence model to predict how well breast cancer responds to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery). It aims to improve treatment planning by analyzing MRI scans taken before and after therapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06650423Recruiting
Staying on hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This study looks at how well patients take their hormone-lowering pills (aromatase inhibitors, with or without abemaciclib) for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to understand adherence patterns and help improve support for patients.
LjubljanaAges 18–99 - NCT06651242Recruiting
Support for young cancer patients and their parents
This trial tests a decision-support program for children and teens with cancer and their parents. It aims to help families communicate and make choices together during treatment.
Kaohsiung CityAges 7–20 - NCT06656728Recruiting
Simplifying cancer screening with a new tool
This trial tests a new screening tool that helps doctors find cancer. It involves completing medical exams and questionnaires. The study is for people who have not had cancer in the last 5 years.
Tel AvivAges 40 years+ - NCT06657131Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for prostate cancer recurrence
This trial looks at how well a special PET scan (called PSMA PET) can find prostate cancer that has come back after treatment. It uses a radioactive tracer to spot cancer cells. Your doctor may already have ordered this scan as part of your regular care.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06662110Recruiting
Blood test to predict chemo and immunotherapy response in stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a blood test (called immune proteomics) can predict how well chemotherapy and immunotherapy work in people with stomach cancer. If you qualify, you would receive standard chemo or chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery, and researchers will study your blood to see if it can guide future treatment.
Xuhui District, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06664151RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Flu vaccine injected into skin cancer before surgery
This study tests whether injecting the seasonal flu vaccine directly into a skin cancer tumor can help the immune system attack it. You would receive the injection before your scheduled surgery to remove the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06665178RecruitingPhase 2
Testing SG after T-DXd in ER+/HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests whether a different chemotherapy drug, called sacituzumab govitecan (SG), can help people with ER+/HER2-low metastatic breast cancer who have already been treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). It also looks at genetic markers in your tumor to predict who might benefit from SG.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06667154RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose nivolumab plus chemo for early lung cancer
This trial tests a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if this combination shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes with fewer side effects.
São José do Rio Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06667427Recruiting
Nerve transfer for facial paralysis in cancer patients
This study tests whether nerve transfer surgery can improve facial movement and quality of life in cancer patients with facial paralysis. Participants either receive the nerve transfer or are part of a control group that had past facial surgery without nerve repair.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06674252Recruiting
Herbal treatment for symptoms after lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether a modified herbal formula (Bufei Decoction) can help reduce symptoms like cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath in older adults after lung cancer surgery, and whether it improves survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT06675357RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer
This trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06677944RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before surgery for early-stage breast cancer
This trial tests giving radiation to the tumor area before surgery for women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. The idea is to see if giving radiation first can help protect healthy tissue while still being effective.
SeoulAges 45 years+ - NCT06678724Recruiting
Blood test study for head and neck cancer that has returned or spread
This trial is testing a new blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to better understand and predict the course of head and neck cancers that have come back or spread. If you join, researchers will use a special chip to look at your immune cells and tumor cells in your blood.
Zhubei, HsinChu CountyAges 20 years+ - NCT06684327RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three chemotherapy drugs for rare advanced cancers
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (albumin-paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) for people with certain rare cancers that have spread to other parts of the body (stage IV). It looks at how well the treatment works and if it is safe.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06698458Recruiting
DaRT radiation plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called DaRT (Alpha DaRT) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. The goal is to see if adding this radiation treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.

- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13,110 recruiting cancer 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 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 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.
