Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06566560Recruiting
Using unused cancer pills safely
This trial tests if unused oral cancer pills that were stored at room temperature can be safely given to other patients. If you take a room-temperature oral cancer pill, you may be able to help reduce medication waste.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT06567353Recruiting
Heat-based immunotherapy for breast cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a new treatment that uses heat to target liver tumors and boost the immune system. It is for women with breast cancer that has spread to the liver who cannot have or do not want surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06567743RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new virus therapy for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new virus-based medicine, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, given directly into the bladder for people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back, especially for those who have not had BCG treatment or whose cancer did not respond to BCG.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06567782RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy vs. chemotherapy alone for stage 3 colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab to standard chemotherapy (CAPEOX) is more effective than chemotherapy alone for people with a specific type of colon cancer (MMRp/MSS) that has not spread. It is given before surgery to shrink the tumor.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06569368RecruitingPhase 2
Metronidazole with rectal cancer treatment
This trial tests adding the antibiotic metronidazole to standard pre-surgery therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if changing the bacteria in your gut can make the cancer treatment work better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06569693Recruiting
Sleep study for people with GI cancer and their partners
This study tests whether couples (one with a GI cancer and their sleep partner) can improve their sleep together. It involves a sleep program to help both partners build healthier sleep habits.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06570486Recruiting

- 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.
