Recruiting studies
- NCT06469944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of drug combinations for stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial tests new combinations of drugs alongside standard chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach or esophagus cancer that has not been treated yet. It aims to see if these combinations can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer better than current options.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07761351RecruitingPhase 4
Robotic-assisted vs CT-guided lung biopsy comparison
This study compares two ways to biopsy small lung nodules: a robot-assisted scope through the airways or a needle guided by CT scan. If you have a small lung nodule (2 cm or less) that needs testing, participation may help determine which approach is better.

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07754409Recruiting
Quality of life during lung cancer treatment with immunotherapy
This study looks at how patients with advanced lung cancer feel during their treatment, which combines chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug. The goal is to understand and improve quality of life during therapy.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05851924RecruitingPhase 2
Nalirifox plus radiation for nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial studies Nalirifox (chemotherapy) given together with radiation therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink the cancer and improve local control, especially when surgery is not an option right now.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05862285RecruitingPhase 3
Rollover trial for people already on Roche study treatment
This is a “rollover” study for people who were already taking a Roche (or Genentech) cancer study medicine. It checks whether continuing the same study treatment (when commercial options aren’t available) can keep helping you.
CharleroiAges Any age - NCT07253194Recruiting
Can electroacupuncture help with bladder problems after cervical cancer surgery?
This study is testing whether a gentle type of acupuncture called electroacupuncture can help women who have trouble emptying their bladder after cervical cancer surgery. It is a non-drug treatment that may restore normal urination.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07040683Recruiting

This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT07321652RecruitingPhase 3
Sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib for untreated CLL or SLL
This trial tests whether adding a new drug, sonrotoclax, to the standard treatment zanubrutinib works better for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment before. It's for patients aged 65 and older who need therapy due to symptoms or blood cell issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT06581432RecruitingPhase 2
Zongertinib for advanced cancers with HER2 changes
This trial tests an experimental drug (zongertinib) for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain changes in the HER2 gene. It's for those who have already tried at least one standard treatment and need more options.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04749108RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tailored treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer after FOLFIRINOX
This trial studies a more customized treatment plan for people with locally advanced rectal (bowel) cancer after they receive FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. It aims to reduce tumor spread risk and improve outcomes by tailoring the next steps based on scan details and your health status.
Marseille, Bouches Du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT06577441RecruitingPhase 2
Adding enasidenib to usual care for higher-risk MDS with IDH2 mutation
This trial tests whether adding enasidenib (a targeted pill) to the standard chemotherapy (cedazuridine-decitabine) works better than the chemotherapy alone for people with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose cells have a specific change in the IDH2 gene.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07437950RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing treatment lengths for venetoclax in older adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia
This study tests whether a shorter or longer course of the drug venetoclax works better for older adults with a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not healthy enough for intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to find the best treatment duration to control the cancer while reducing side effects.
Bloomington, IllinoisAges 60 years+ - NCT07766226Recruiting
Online support group for head and neck cancer patients
This study tests whether an online support group can help people with head and neck cancer feel better during and after their radiation treatment. You would participate in a shared online community and complete questionnaires about your well-being.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06663137RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new treatment for high-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called NDV01 KIT for people with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't gotten better after BCG therapy. It's for those who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13,118 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.
