Study of CFT8919 for advanced NSCLC with EGFR L858R mutation
This trial tests a new drug, CFT8919, for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR L858R mutation) that has stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06830265Recruiting
Comparing a new biopsy needle to the standard one for prostate cancer
This study tests a new, specially designed biopsy needle system against the standard needle system used for prostate biopsies. The researchers will compare how well each system collects tissue samples from men who have suspicious MRI findings, to see if the new needle might give better results.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06406465RecruitingPhase 2
Belinostat trial for neuroendocrine cancer based on genetics
This trial tests a drug called belinostat, possibly combined with other drugs, based on your genetic makeup. It aims to find the right dose for people with a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine cancer that started outside the lungs.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06303193RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a kinase inhibitor drug for MDS and MDS/MPN in adults and teens

- 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.
