Testing markers to predict lung inflammation after lung cancer treatment
This study looks for early “predictive markers” to tell who is most likely to develop lung inflammation after standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner and tailor care, using additional monitoring during treatment.

Atorvastatin to help prevent cisplatin-related hearing loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine called atorvastatin can protect hearing in people with head and neck cancer receiving cisplatin plus radiation. If it works, it may reduce the chance or severity of treatment-related hearing damage.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–100 - NCT04914663Recruiting
Exercise program during breast cancer chemotherapy
This study tests whether supervised exercise during chemotherapy is safe and helpful for people with early-stage breast cancer. It may support physical function and well-being while you are receiving cancer treatment.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT04919629RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatments for recurrent ovarian cancer with fluid buildup
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding two medicines—APL-2 plus pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus bevacizumab—works better than bevacizumab alone for recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It also focuses on people who have symptoms from cancer-related fluid (ascites or pleural effusion).
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04920149RecruitingPhase 2
Mesalamine to help prevent colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This trial tests whether mesalamine, a medicine used for bowel inflammation, can help prevent colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome who do not currently have cancer. It may help by lowering the chance that new pre-cancer growths form over time.

Testing benefits and side effects of hormone therapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at the potential harms and benefits of hormone (endocrine) therapy in people age 70 and older with early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer. It may help doctors choose which hormone treatment approach is safest and most helpful for older patients.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 70 years+ - NCT04921527RecruitingPhase 3
Chiauranib with weekly paclitaxel for tough ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether chiauranib combined with weekly paclitaxel can shrink recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that did not respond to platinum chemotherapy. It is designed for people who have limited treatment options after platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory disease.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–70 - NCT04925856Recruiting
Monitoring the immune system during breast cancer drug treatment
This study looks at how your immune system changes while you receive standard breast cancer treatments. The researchers measure immune-related signals during your treatment to better understand what may be happening in triple-negative or certain hormone-receptor breast cancers.
BesançonAges 18–85 - NCT04927416RecruitingPhase 2
Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan in metastatic thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a specific special scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can help doctors better see where thyroid cancer has spread. It focuses on certain types of thyroid cancer and compares how well the scan images metastases.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–98 - NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04929769Recruiting
Surgery trial for early cervical cancer using radical hysterectomy
This trial studies whether a radical hysterectomy—performed either through laparoscopy or an open abdominal operation—works best for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help improve cancer control and guide how doctors choose the best surgical approach for your stage.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 21–70 - NCT04933266Recruiting
Nerve block plan for breast surgery
This trial studies a type of pain-control injection (a nerve block) to help with anesthesia during breast cancer surgery. It may help improve comfort and reduce pain around the operation.
Sheung Shui, New TerritoriesAges 18–80 - NCT07117630RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug combo for advanced breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a new drug combination for women with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has worsened after standard treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors and hormone therapy. It aims to see if the combination can help when other options have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07699328RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VRN110755 for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new oral targeted therapy (VRN110755) for people with EGFR-mutant lung cancer. It is for those whose cancer has advanced or spread, and who either have not been treated yet or who stopped responding to previous EGFR pills.
Bedford Park, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06976944RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab, Paclitaxel, and Bevacizumab for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, the chemotherapy paclitaxel, and possibly the targeted drug bevacizumab for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has returned after treatment. It aims to see if adding bevacizumab improves outcomes for patients whose tumors are PD-L1 positive.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18 years+ - NCT07699705Recruiting
Proton Beam Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
This study tests a very short course (ultrahypofractionated) of proton beam radiation for localized prostate cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and effective with fewer treatment visits.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06703476RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery techniques study for bladder cancer
This trial compares two different surgical approaches during bladder removal surgery: using a stent or not, and using a drug called alvimopan or not. Alvimopan helps the bowels work normally after surgery.

- 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.
