BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06804395Recruiting
Community cancer screening registry study
This study creates a registry to better understand and improve cancer screening for people at higher risk. By joining, you help researchers learn how to prevent and manage cancer in your community.
Totowa, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06824688Recruiting
Comparing robotic surgery types for rectal cancer
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for rectal cancer: using one small incision (single-port) versus several small incisions (multi-port). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes while preserving the sphincter (the muscle that controls bowel movements).
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06752811RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new paclitaxel formula for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new form of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (called polymeric micellar paclitaxel) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). It's for those who haven't had any prior treatment for their metastatic cancer, and aims to see if this drug can help control the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06765707Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring symptoms to improve medication use in breast cancer
This trial tests if tracking how you feel and reporting your symptoms can help women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer take their hormone-blocking medication more consistently. It may be a good fit if you have been prescribed aromatase inhibitors or similar therapy and have had trouble taking it as directed.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06825715Recruiting
Precision oncology support for lung and prostate cancer
This study tests a program to help veterans with lung or prostate cancer get personalized cancer treatments. The goal is to see if extra support for doctors and patients leads to better use of precision medicine.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT06716073Recruiting
Endoscopic vs standard breast-conserving surgery after chemo
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery for women who have already had chemotherapy before their operation. It aims to see if using a tiny camera (endoscope) leads to equally good long-term results as standard breast-conserving surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06789679RecruitingPhase 2
Adding S-1 to standard chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a third drug (S-1, a chemotherapy pill) to the standard two-drug IV chemo (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer. It's for those who haven't had treatment yet for their advanced cancer.

Genes linked to rare liver disease and cancer risk
This study looks at whether certain family-related genes make people more likely to develop liver or bile duct cancers without a clear cause. If you had surgery or a transplant for one of these cancers and have had unexplained high liver enzymes or itching, this trial may help find genetic clues.
Bologna, BolognaAges 1 year+ - NCT06791161Enrolling by invitation
Adjuvant therapy study for BRCA1/2 positive breast cancer

- 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.
