Recruiting studies
- NCT01205815Recruiting

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06377566RecruitingPhase 2
BV-AVD for bulky Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (brentuximab vedotin, AVD chemotherapy) for people with newly diagnosed, bulky Hodgkin lymphoma that hasn't spread far. It aims to see if this treatment works well for larger tumors.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06376565Recruiting
Improving colonoscopy follow-up for high-risk polyps
This study aims to understand why some people return for a follow-up colonoscopy after having high-risk colon polyps and to find ways to improve the process. It involves interviews and testing new approaches to ensure patients get the right follow-up care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06363435Recruiting
AI study of tumor burden on PSMA PET-CT scans
This trial tests an AI tool that measures tumor burden on PSMA PET-CT scans. If you are having this scan for prostate cancer, it could help doctors get more detailed information from your images.
LundAges 20–120 - NCT06367556Recruiting
Emotion and stress support for caregivers of children with cancer
This trial offers a program called EASE (Emotion and Symptom-Focused Engagement) to help family caregivers of children with cancer manage their emotions and stress. It aims to see if providing support to caregivers improves their well-being.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06377059Recruiting
Early detection of complications during immunotherapy
This trial uses special equipment to watch for early side effects in people getting CAR T-cell therapy or bispecific antibodies for blood cancers, like lymphoma. It aims to catch problems early so they can be treated faster.
Copenhagen OAges 18 years+ - NCT06364917RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two immunotherapy options for PD-L1 negative lung cancer
This trial tests whether using two immunotherapy drugs together works better than a single drug for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have the PD-L1 protein. The study aims to find a more effective treatment for this specific type of lung cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT06368947Recruiting
Therapeutic play for pain and emotion in children with leukemia
This study uses therapeutic play to help children with leukemia who are getting chemotherapy better manage pain and emotions. It aims to see if playing helps them feel more in control and less distressed during treatment.
Erzurum, ErzurumAges 10–18 - NCT06376669RecruitingPhase 2
Proton beam radiation for kidney cancer
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic body proton therapy for people with kidney cancer who cannot have surgery or other local treatments. It aims to see if this focused radiation can control the tumor with fewer side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06377852RecruitingPhase 3
CDK4/6 inhibitor dosing study for older adults with metastatic breast cancer
This study tests two targeted therapy drugs, palbociclib and ribociclib, combined with hormone therapy for people aged 60 or older with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to see how well this treatment works and to gather information that may help improve dosing for older adults.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - NCT06365788RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs—bicalutamide and abemaciclib—for people with a specific type of advanced triple-negative breast cancer that grows in response to androgen hormones (AR-positive). The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06369155RecruitingPhase 2
Azenosertib for recurrent uterine serous cancer

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.
