This study tests whether a special imaging scan (functional imaging) can identify which esophageal cancers respond best to radiation. If you have stage II–IVA esophageal cancer and meet the health criteria, joining may help personalize your treatment.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT04938804Recruiting
One-time lung cancer screening with a low-dose chest CT
This study tests whether a one-time, low-dose chest CT scan can help find lung cancer early in certain people. You may be invited because of your age and location, and because you have not had recent related testing or symptoms.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–74 - NCT06194708Recruiting
Why some temporary stomas are never reversed after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at why some people who had a temporary stoma (a bag for waste) after rectal cancer surgery never get it reversed. It collects information from medical records to find patterns that might explain this.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT04459065RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging medicine to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special imaging drug (IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer tissue during planned lung surgery. Phase 1/2 looks mainly at safety and how well the imaging works to guide the operation.
Saskatoon, SaskatchewanAges 18–80 - NCT05140746Recruiting
Predicting how well chemotherapy works before stomach surgery
This study looks for ways to predict whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before surgery) will work well in people with locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan sooner based on your test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06196190Recruiting
Study on HPV after cone biopsy for cervical cancer
This study looks at women with early-stage cervical cancer (stage IB2) or a pre-cancer called AIS. The goal is to see if testing for HPV after a cone biopsy can help predict if the cancer will come back. Your HPV test results will be tracked over time.
HaifaAges 18–85 - NCT05245474RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery chemoradiation plus PD-1 for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies giving long-course radiation and chemotherapy before surgery, plus an immunotherapy medicine (PD-1) to help the tumor shrink more. It’s for people with stage II or III rectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07864207RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IDP-121 for small cell lung cancer that stopped responding to platinum
This trial tests a new drug, IDP-121, alone or with another chemo drug, for people with small cell lung cancer that came back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084416RecruitingPhase 1
Pill study for advanced ovarian cancer that resists chemo
This trial tests an experimental drug called sovilnesib (taken as a pill) for people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemo. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink or slow the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07871110RecruitingPhase 2
New pill combined with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new pill (TT00420) taken with standard hormone therapy for prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to initial hormone treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can help slow the cancer's growth and is safe.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06204484Recruiting
MRD-guided Chemo Timing for Early Colon Cancer
This trial is for people with early-stage colon cancer (stage II high-risk or stage III low-risk) that is not MSI-H. It uses a blood test (MRD) to see if you can safely delay or skip extra chemotherapy after surgery, based on whether the test finds any leftover cancer cells.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06203314Recruiting
Epstein-Barr virus and cancer risk study
This study looks at how Epstein-Barr virus (a common virus) may be linked to cancer risk. If you live in Zhongshan or Wuzhou City and are generally healthy, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 30–69 - NCT06198868Recruiting
MRD blood test to guide treatment in lung cancer
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA and CTC) to check for minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment for stage IIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if MRD can help predict whether the cancer will come back and guide decisions on extra treatment to prevent recurrence.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07866313RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy before surgery for low rectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy given before surgery for low rectal cancer. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients with a specific type of cancer that is microsatellite stable (MSS).

Detecting lung cancer in non-smokers through urine
This study uses a simple urine test to help detect lung cancer in people who have never smoked but have a lung spot (nodule) on their CT scan. It may lead to a new, non-invasive way to check for cancer without needing a biopsy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07854262Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for arm swelling after breast cancer
This study tests whether a treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which uses sound waves, can reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) that some people get after breast cancer treatment. It may help if you have had arm swelling for less than 4 years and have finished your cancer treatment.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06123494RecruitingPhase 3
A trial of SHR-A1811 for HER2-positive gastric cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12,833 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.
