New imaging scan for high-risk prostate cancer staging
This trial tests a special type of scan (99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT) to see how well it can detect the spread of high-risk prostate cancer. It may help doctors better understand the stage of the disease before deciding on treatment.
Turku, Southwest FinlandAges 18 years+ - NCT02925234RecruitingPhase 2
Basket trial of reused cancer drugs matched to tumor markers
This trial tests cancer drugs that are already approved for other cancers, chosen based on specific changes found in your tumor. It may help people whose cancer is growing despite standard treatment (or who no longer have standard options).
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT06007261Recruiting
Testing a new microscope for lung cancer diagnosis
This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06222255Recruiting
Transanal irrigation for sleep issues after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests if a special irrigation technique can improve sleep problems caused by low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) after rectal cancer surgery. It may help people who have ongoing bowel symptoms that disrupt sleep.
Seoul, Jongro-guAges 19–80 - NCT06169072RecruitingPhase 2
Finding lymph nodes with a tiny dose of magnetic tracer in breast cancer
This trial is testing whether a very small amount of a magnetic tracer called Magtrace can help find lymph nodes that need to be checked for cancer spread during breast cancer surgery.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06229522Recruiting
Organoids to personalize ovarian cancer treatment
This study uses lab-grown tumor models (organoids) from your tissue or fluid sample to find the best treatment for your ovarian cancer.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT07865117Recruiting
Personalised nutrition app for teenagers with cancer
This study is developing a smartphone app that gives personal nutrition advice to teenagers going through cancer treatment. The goal is to help them eat better and feel better.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 12–18 - NCT05060783Recruiting
Liquid blood test to help detect kidney cancer
This study tests whether a “liquid biopsy” blood test can help detect kidney cancer when a CT scan looks suspicious but does not show cancer. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures or catch cancer patterns earlier, but it will depend on the type of kidney tumor and your situation.
RoskildeAges 18 years+ - NCT03857373Recruiting
Study testing a computer tool to detect kidney cancer after surgery
This trial is for people with renal (kidney) cancer who have already had surgery. The study is testing whether a computer method can use medical information from you to improve kidney-cancer detection.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT06220617Recruiting
Early detection of colorectal cancer using blood tests
This study is looking for people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma to help find better ways to detect the disease early using advanced lab tests on blood samples.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06232122Recruiting
New PET scans to detect ovarian cancer recurrence
This study uses two types of PET/CT scans (68Ga-FAPI-46 and 18F-FDG) to look for any returning ovarian cancer. The goal is to find recurrence early so you and your doctor can plan the next steps.
Taoyuan CityAges 30–80 - NCT05695638Recruiting
Genetic tumor testing to find treatments for advanced cancer
This study looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help match you to targeted treatments when standard options are no longer working. You may be offered options based on results, with the goal of helping people with incurable, worsening cancer.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05483166Recruiting
Parent coaching to support memory and behavior after childhood cancer
This pilot study tests a program that works with parents to support a child’s thinking, memory, and behavior after childhood cancer treatment. It may help by teaching parents strategies to support school and day-to-day functioning.
AarhusAges 10–17 - NCT05159193RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and antibodies for HER2 breast cancer
This phase 3 trial compares two pre-surgery treatment plans for people with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to see which plan works better to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05952947RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for HPV18-positive solid tumors with a specific immune marker
This Phase 1 trial tests HRYZ-T101 injection for people whose solid cancer is HPV18-positive and who have the HLA-DRB1*0901 immune marker. It is meant for people whose cancer has returned or spread and who have few or no effective treatment options.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06242067RecruitingPhase 2
Second-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread or come back after initial chemotherapy. It is for those who have already received standard first-line therapy and are now looking for a second treatment option.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT02839863Recruiting
Breast cancer care follow-up at UMC Utrecht with surveys
This study follows people with breast cancer who receive radiation at UMC Utrecht. It uses routinely collected medical data and questionnaires to better understand outcomes over the long term.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT03494946Recruiting
Liver transplant vs chemotherapy for colon cancer liver spread
This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05759546RecruitingPhase 2
Test a PARP and CDK4/6 medicine plus hormone therapy
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining a PARP inhibitor with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and hormone (endocrine) therapy can help people with advanced HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It’s for certain patients who have not yet had chemotherapy or targeted therapy for metastatic disease.

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.
