Recruiting studies
- NCT06440616Recruiting
Spectral CT scans for lung cancer detection
This trial is testing a new way to look at CT scans (called spectral imaging) to see if it can better detect lung cancer in people who are suspected of having it. If you are being referred for lung cancer testing, this study may help doctors get clearer information from your scans.

Ziftomenib with chemo for pediatric AML
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, combined with two standard chemotherapies (venetoclax and gemtuzumab) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It looks for specific genetic changes in the leukemia cells.
Houston, TexasAges 3–21 - NCT06448026RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and cetuximab before surgery for mouth or throat cancer
This trial tests whether combining two targeted drugs (cemiplimab and cetuximab) before surgery can help people with recurrent mouth or throat cancer that has come back after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach makes surgery more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06448572RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EXL01 and nivolumab for immunotherapy-resistant lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational microbiome therapy (EXL01) combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer continued to grow after standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding EXL01 can help the immune system fight the cancer again.

Pocket colposcopy for women with positive HPV test
This study tests a new, smaller device called a pocket colposcope to look at the cervix (the opening of the womb) in women who have had a positive HPV test. The goal is to see if this simpler tool can help find cell changes that might lead to cancer, so you can get treatment sooner.
NairobiAges 25 years+ - NCT06348719Recruiting
Robot vs. standard laparoscopy for early endometrial cancer
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (robot-assisted vs. conventional laparoscopy) for removing the uterus in people with early-stage, low- to intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach offers the best value and outcomes.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04592003Recruiting

Robotic sentinel node biopsy for testicular cancer
This trial uses a robot and a special dye (ICG) to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer cells in men with testicular cancer. It aims to reduce unnecessary lymph node removal while still detecting spread.
DüsseldorfAges 18–99 - NCT06424626Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing new drug combos for advanced mucosal melanoma
This trial tests two experimental drugs, AK104 or AK112, combined with a targeted therapy called axitinib for people with metastatic mucosal melanoma (a rare type of skin cancer that has spread). The goal is to see if these combinations can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06439914RecruitingPhase 1
New PET scan to see immune response to lung cancer treatment
This study tests if a new type of PET scan can see changes in your immune system when you receive immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how well your treatment is working.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06436612RecruitingPhase 2
Study of radiation therapy for belly or pelvic sarcomas
This trial is testing a precise type of radiation therapy (called SBRT) for people with sarcoma in the belly or pelvic area. The goal is to see if this targeted radiation can help shrink or control the tumor before surgery, and it may be an option if you haven't had radiation to that area before.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06428721Recruiting
Can laser treatment prevent skin spots in older adults?
This study tests if a laser treatment on your forearms can prevent precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) from developing in older adults with fair skin. You would receive the laser on one arm and a sham treatment on the other, and your skin will be monitored.
Fairborn, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT06426511RecruitingPhase 2
Testing toripalimab after lung cancer surgery using ctDNA
This study tests whether a drug called toripalimab, given after lung cancer surgery, can help keep the cancer from coming back in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It uses a blood test (ctDNA) to look for leftover cancer cells and decide who might benefit most.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06432972Recruiting
Pre-surgery exercise and smoking cessation program for lung cancer
This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT06430788RecruitingPhase 2
Emapalumab for children with severe aplastic anemia
This trial tests whether a medication called emapalumab can help children with severe aplastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow stops making enough blood cells. It combines emapalumab with standard immune-suppressing therapy to try to improve blood cell counts.
New York, New YorkAges birth–25 years - NCT06434337Recruiting
HPV diagnostic test study
This study tests a new, quick diagnostic test for HPV (the virus that can cause cervical cancer). Researchers want to see if the test works well compared to regular tests. If you are due for an HPV test or a related procedure, this study may be a good fit.
Houston, TexasAges 21 years+ - NCT06427226RecruitingPhase 2
Testing dapagliflozin to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether a daily pill called dapagliflozin can help protect the heart from damage caused by doxorubicin chemotherapy in people being treated for early-stage breast cancer. If you are starting doxorubicin and have a healthy heart, this might lower your risk of heart problems later.
Alexandria, Bab SharqiAges 18–65 - NCT06423170RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab plus chemo for unresectable gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab with two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, known as GEMOX) for people with gallbladder cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if this treatment can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

This trial tests a combination of two drugs (sacituzumab and zimberelimab) for people with non-small cell lung cancer that was confined to the chest, was surgically removed, but not completely cleared by prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06439979Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12,865 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.
