Recruiting studies
- NCT05502900RecruitingPhase 3

Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05505188Recruiting
Predicting long-term pain after head and neck radiotherapy
This study looks for ways to predict and improve pain you may have months after radiotherapy for first head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better anticipate pain and support patients during recovery.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05507411RecruitingPhase 2
Watch-and-wait after chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) to standard chemo-radiation can help some people with operable esophagus cancer avoid immediate surgery, using a “watch and wait” approach. If it works, it may reduce the need for early surgery for carefully selected patients.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05508347RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new antibody with chemo for locally advanced throat cancer
This study tests nituzumab (a targeted antibody) added to standard induction chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy. It aims to improve tumor control and safety for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer.

Genetic study in Indian children with newly diagnosed leukemia
This study looks at genetic (DNA) differences to understand acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Indian children and how treatments may fit better. You may be able to join if your child is newly diagnosed, meets the study’s treatment plan rules, and provides consent.
New DelhiAges 1–18 - NCT05512286Recruiting
Radiation experience after breast surgery with belly flap
This trial looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and how safe treatment is when radiotherapy is given after a mastectomy with a DIEP belly skin-flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand which experiences to expect and how to improve care.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05512481RecruitingPhase 2
Study combination treatment before surgery for high-risk acral melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines given before surgery for people with high-risk acral melanoma (a skin cancer type). It aims to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see how well the treatment works and is tolerated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05514275RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus endostatin and capecitabine for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding endostatin and capecitabine to standard radiation can improve outcomes for people with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer that has not responded well to chemotherapy. It may help those with stable or worsening disease after treatment before moving to radiation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT05516628RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant atezolizumab plus bevacizumab after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies whether adding atezolizumab and bevacizumab after complete liver cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It also uses “multi-omics” tests (special lab tests on your tissue/blood) to help predict who is more likely to respond or resist treatment.
SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT05517135Recruiting
Personalized treatment for EBV-positive nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a “choose the best treatment” approach for people with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) that is linked to EBV (a common virus). By matching treatment to your EBV and cancer features, the study aims to improve outcomes while tracking safety.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05518643Recruiting
Testing a stress-reducing recovery plan for pancreatic surgery patients
This trial tests how well a structured hospital recovery plan (called ERAS) works for people having pancreatic surgery. It looks at stress and recovery outcomes to see if patients may do better with this approach.
LarissaAges 18 years+ - NCT05519878Recruiting
Light plus job therapy for fatigue in genitourinary cancer
This trial tests whether light therapy and an occupational therapy fatigue program can reduce fatigue in people with certain urinary-system cancers who still have mild fatigue during treatment. It may help you feel more energized and manage day-to-day activity while cancer treatment is ongoing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05522881Recruiting
Study of genetic changes in oropharyngeal cancer tumors
This study collects information and tumor tissue to look for genetic changes in oropharyngeal cancer, especially in patients whose cancer has come back. The goal is to better understand the disease and may help future treatment planning.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20 years+ - NCT05522959Recruiting
Exercise rehab for breast cancer recovery
This trial tests an exercise-based rehabilitation program for people who have had early-stage breast cancer and are finishing or currently getting standard treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or targeted drugs. It may help improve heart and breathing fitness during recovery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05525338RecruitingPhase 4
Test standard vs adjusted alectinib dose using blood levels
This trial compares the usual dose of alectinib with a modified dose chosen by checking alectinib blood levels. It aims to see whether adjusting the dose based on blood testing can work as well (and possibly be better tolerated) for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Villejuif, Val-de-MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05525858Recruiting
Genomic testing–guided treatment for advanced solid tumors
This study uses your tumor’s genetic test results to help match you to the most suitable treatment when standard options have failed or don’t exist. It may help by targeting therapies based on specific gene changes found in your cancer.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT05526989RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab plus niraparib for advanced penile cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining dostarlimab (an immunotherapy) with niraparib (a cancer pill) can shrink advanced penile cancer and keep it from growing. It may help people whose cancer has progressed after limited prior treatments, and who have not had certain immune therapies before.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05528952RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for unresectable liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding a cancer vaccine (to help the immune system recognize your tumor) to two medicines—atezolizumab and bevacizumab—can better control unresectable or advanced liver cancer. It’s for people who haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) cancer treatment.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05528939Recruiting
Training attention skills for children after cancer
This trial tests a computer-based “attention-control training” program to see if it’s doable and helpful for children who finished treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or a brain tumor. It also looks at how acceptable the program is for both kids and caregivers.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 8–16 - NCT05529069RecruitingPhase 2
Testing pirtobrutinib plus venetoclax for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how well the combination of pirtobrutinib and venetoclax works for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It’s meant to help shrink the lymphoma and improve outcomes after prior therapies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05530759Recruiting
Testing blood and tumor samples for diagnostic cancer markers
This study looks at blood and tumor tissue to find signs (markers) that can help diagnose or better understand metastatic cancer. You may be able to join if you’re getting surgery or a biopsy to remove a tumor and there’s a safe way to collect samples.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05532696RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ABT-101 for advanced solid tumors and HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests ABT-101, a new experimental treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors. A second part specifically looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has HER2 mutations, to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT05534906Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13,110 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.
