Recruiting studies
- NCT07178340RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests a treatment given before and after surgery for a rare type of stomach cancer called hepatoid adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve outcomes for patients whose tumors are HER2-negative and have not spread too far.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT00992303Recruiting
Collecting tissue samples during radiation for people with cancer
This study collects tissue samples from people with cancer while they are getting radiation therapy. It also includes healthy participants, to help researchers compare samples and better understand cancer and treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05849155Recruiting
Talking study for teens with inherited cancer risk
This study looks at how parents and children communicate after learning about an inherited (genetic) cancer risk. It may help researchers find better ways to support families in these conversations.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 10–24 - NCT07656116RecruitingPhase 1
Oncolytic virus therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a virus-based treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments. The virus is designed to infect and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.
Langfang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06217783Recruiting
Comparing IV catheter lengths for hard-to-find veins in cancer patients
This trial compares two different lengths of IV catheters placed with ultrasound help for cancer patients in the emergency room who have hard-to-find veins. The goal is to see which catheter length works best and lasts longer during a hospital stay.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06472037RecruitingPhase 2
AG chemo plus immunotherapy and short radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (AG) plus an immunotherapy (cadonilimab) and a short course of radiation for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink or control the tumor.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06529549Recruiting
Organoid drug test for advanced prostate cancer
This trial uses a lab test on a tiny sample of your tumor (called an organoid) to find which drug might work best for your advanced prostate cancer. It's for men whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and got worse after first treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06204614Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Drug screening for bladder cancer before surgery
This trial tests a tiny device placed into bladder tumors before surgery to see which drugs might work best for each patient, helping guide future treatment choices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT06482086RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor models to guide drug choice for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in a lab (as organoids) can help doctors pick the best drugs for advanced thyroid cancer that is hard to remove surgically. It's for people with different thyroid cancer types who have tumors growing outside the thyroid or into nearby areas.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06204315RecruitingPhase 2
Spine radiosurgery for spinal cord compression
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06489197RecruitingPhase 2
AK112 plus chemo for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (AK112) combined with chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced esophageal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and controls the disease longer than chemotherapy alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07139067RecruitingPhase 1
YK1101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called YK1101 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. It targets a specific protein (MAGE-A4) on cancer cells and requires a matching genetic type called HLA-A*11:01.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06429891Recruiting
Nuclear probe for early gastric cancer detection
This trial uses a special radioactive probe to find gastric cancer cells during imaging. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and catch the disease earlier.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07169825RecruitingPhase 4
Pluvicto for prostate cancer with kidney or marrow issues
This trial studies how well a radioactive drug called Pluvicto works in men with prostate cancer who also have kidney or bone marrow problems. You'll get the treatment and have several scans to see how the drug affects your body.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT06145763Recruiting
Quit smoking with a digital program for American Indian and Alaska Native adults
This study tests two smartphone apps to help American Indian and Alaska Native adults quit smoking. You will be randomly assigned to one of the apps and complete short surveys to see which works better.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT01620372Recruiting
Study of heart and health after solid childhood cancers
This study follows people in France who had a solid (not leukemia) childhood cancer before age 19 between 1942 and 1999. It helps researchers understand long-term effects after cancer and how to better support survivors.
AmiensAges Up to 18 years - NCT06356012RecruitingPhase 4
Imiquimod for high-risk HPV cervical lesions
This trial tests if imiquimod cream can help clear high-grade cervical lesions caused by high-risk HPV. It may be an option for people who want to avoid surgery.
BarretosAges 25–45 - NCT06377527Recruiting
Tracking mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma cases
This study is creating a registry to collect information from patients with a rare type of gynecologic cancer called mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) and related types. By joining, you help doctors learn more about this cancer to improve future care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04905056RecruitingPhase 2
Ablation treatment for lung ground-glass nodules that don’t go away
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a procedure called “ablation” is safe and effective for certain lung cancers that appear as ground-glass spots on CT scans and do not improve after 3 months. It may help people who cannot fully have surgery for their condition.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06369610RecruitingPhase 2
Less hormone therapy with radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether some men with high-risk prostate cancer can safely receive less hormone therapy when combined with radiation. It aims to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06879145RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of SHR-A2102 and Adebrelimab for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, SHR-A2102 and Adebrelimab, for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT01728545Recruiting
Storing umbilical cord blood for future transplantation
This study collects and stores umbilical cord blood at birth so it can be used later for transplant. It also involves blood and cord blood testing to check for infections and key matching features.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01900821Recruiting

Reston, VirginiaAges 2–99 - NCT06120387Recruiting
Radiation after kidney-sparing surgery for high-risk ureteral cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery that removes only part of the ureter or the entire kidney and ureter helps prevent cancer from coming back in patients who have high-risk features like aggressive cell type or deep tumor invasion.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- 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.
