Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06580574RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy to save the stomach or colon from surgery
This trial tests whether using immune checkpoint inhibitors alone (like checkpoint blockade drugs) can help people with certain gastric or colon cancers avoid surgery. It's for patients whose tumors have a specific genetic feature called dMMR/MSI-H and haven't spread to other parts of the body.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06582615Recruiting
MIND diet for better brain health during breast cancer treatment
This study tests whether a special diet (called the MIND diet) can help with thinking and memory in women being treated for triple negative breast cancer. Participants will receive nutrition coaching and support to see if it improves brain function.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 40–65 - NCT06589388Recruiting
Using a blood test to predict rectal cancer treatment success
This trial is looking at whether a simple blood test (ctDNA monitoring) can help predict how well total neoadjuvant therapy (chemo and radiation before surgery) works for rectal cancer. It may help doctors tailor treatment to your specific needs.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–80 - NCT07690917Recruiting
New PET scanner study for people with cancer
This trial tests a new PET scanner that may help doctors see where cancer is in your body more clearly. It is for adults with lung, prostate, or head and neck cancer who are already scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06915909Recruiting
Robotic prostate surgery with low pressure gas for less pain
This trial tests whether using lower gas pressure during robotic prostate surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It aims to help men recover more comfortably.
Stevenage, HertfordshireAges 18–75 - NCT06607458RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-focused chemo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests giving high-dose melphalan directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by standard cancer therapy, for people whose colorectal cancer has spread mainly to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works better than standard treatment alone.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06609473Recruiting
Heart-healthy food program for childhood cancer survivors
This study tests a program that helps families get healthy food to lower heart risks in children who have finished cancer treatment. It is for survivors who have at least one heart risk factor and whose family has trouble getting enough food.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 18 years - NCT06609551RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo choice for elderly colon cancer patients
This trial tests whether using a ctDNA blood test can help choose the best chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery for people aged 70–80. It aims to make treatment more personalized and reduce side effects.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 70–80 - NCT06612281RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new screening tool for colorectal cancer in people with negative FIT results
This trial tests a new device called Gixam to see if it can help find colorectal cancer in people who recently had a normal FIT test (a stool test for blood). You may be able to join if you are between 45 and 85 years old and are already scheduled for a routine screening colonoscopy.
Portland, OregonAges 45–85 - NCT06616597RecruitingPhase 2
Targeting gut bacteria to help prostate cancer treatment work again
This trial tests whether adding metronidazole, an antibiotic, can make abiraterone work better in men with metastatic prostate cancer whose PSA is rising despite treatment. It aims to target gut bacteria that may be fueling resistance to the therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06635980RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before or after breast cancer surgery

Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636734RecruitingPhase 2
Lovastatin plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) works better than pembrolizumab alone for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy before and aren't already on a statin.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06640166RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests adding a new chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRI) to the combination of Encorafenib and Cetuximab for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has started growing again after initial treatment with Encorafenib and Cetuximab. The goal is to see if the new combination can help control the cancer longer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06644846Recruiting
Spaced radiation for gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a special type of radiation that is given in small, spaced-out beams to treat gynecologic cancers (like cervical or uterine cancer). It is for patients who cannot get standard internal radiation (brachytherapy) because of unusual anatomy, large tumors, a narrow vagina, or anesthesia risks.
Navi Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–70 - NCT06652607Recruiting
PSA response as a sign of treatment success in prostate cancer
This trial is for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is being treated with hormone therapy. It looks at whether a drop in PSA levels after six months can help predict how well the treatment is working.

Testing abemaciclib plus 5-FU for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a targeted drug called abemaciclib to the standard chemotherapy 5-FU can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS) that has stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.

- 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.
