RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06866964RecruitingPhase 2
Aspirin to prevent blood clots in advanced germ cell cancer chemotherapy
This trial tests if daily aspirin can prevent dangerous blood clots in people receiving chemotherapy for advanced testicular or germ cell cancer. It is for those at high risk of clots and aims to improve safety during treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT06867705RecruitingPhase 3

Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06869122Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung cancer in surgery candidates
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to destroy lung tumors. It is for people who are already candidates for surgery but may want a less invasive option.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06870799Recruiting
Face mask vs. camera-guided radiation for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for head and neck cancer: with a custom face mask or with a new camera-guided system (no mask). The goal is to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for patients.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06872333RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant from a matched sibling for blood disorders
This trial tests whether a stem cell transplant from a fully matched sibling donor can help people with serious blood disorders like sickle cell disease or thalassemia. It aims to replace the faulty blood system with a healthy one from the donor.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 55 years - NCT06872515Recruiting
Exercise before esophageal cancer surgery
This trial tests if doing supervised exercise before esophageal cancer surgery (called prehabilitation) helps people recover better. You would follow a personalized exercise plan for at least 2 weeks before your scheduled surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06873815RecruitingPhase 2
Using a dye to help see cancer during vulvectomy for Paget's disease
This trial tests whether a fluorescent dye called fluorescein sodium can help surgeons see the edges of extramammary Paget's disease more clearly during vulvectomy, so they can remove all the cancer while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06874283Recruiting
Eye problems from cancer treatment registry
This study collects information and eye health data from people who have had cancer treatment, including stem cell transplants. It helps doctors understand how cancer therapies affect the eyes over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06877637Recruiting
Tracking bile duct and liver cancer during treatment
This study tracks how bile duct and liver cancers change during treatment, to help doctors find the best therapies for patients. It is for people who are newly diagnosed or starting a new treatment.
KristianstadAges 18 years+ - NCT06877884Recruiting
Cancer care data collection registry
This trial gathers information from your routine cancer care to help researchers learn more about real-world treatments and outcomes. No extra tests or procedures are required.
Monterey, CaliforniaAges 18–120 - NCT06878222RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an immunotherapy combo before surgery for cervical cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) with standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel and cisplatin) before surgery can help shrink cervical cancer. It is for people with certain stages of cervical cancer who are candidates for surgery, including those who want to preserve their fertility.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06878534Recruiting
Thyroid cancer genetic study for patients with follicular origin
This study looks at the genes and mutations in thyroid cancers that start in follicular cells. It aims to understand how these changes relate to how aggressive the cancer is.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06879730Recruiting
Studying surgery types for early-stage ovarian cancer
This study looks back at different surgical methods (open or minimally invasive) used for early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. It aims to compare outcomes and help doctors choose the best approach.
Varese, VareseAges Any age - NCT06880029RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of chemo and immunotherapy for breast cancer
This trial is testing whether the time of day you receive chemotherapy and pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) affects how well they work against triple-negative breast cancer. It's for people who will get these treatments before surgery.
Vila Nova de Gaia, RegiãoAges 18–75 - NCT06883097Recruiting
Quitting smoking with HIV: A smoking cessation trial
This study tests whether nicotine replacement therapy (like patches or gum) can help people living with HIV quit smoking. You'll be part of a program that supports your quit attempt while you receive care for HIV.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06883214Recruiting
MiRNA signatures in glioma diagnosis
This study looks at three specific molecules in glioma tumors to understand their role and potentially improve diagnosis. It may help people with glioma by providing more targeted information about their condition.
Rome, RomeAges Any age - NCT06883409Recruiting
Laparoscopic surgery for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo
This trial tests if laparoscopic surgery after 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy can help people with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. It's for those whose tumors have shrunk enough after chemo and who are healthy enough for surgery.
México, TlalpanAges 18–80 - NCT06885697RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells targeting mesothelin for solid tumors
This study tests a new treatment called CAR T cells that target a protein called mesothelin found on certain cancer cells. The CAR T cells are made from your own immune cells and may help shrink tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06889623Recruiting
Chemotherapy right after surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy immediately after surgery can help people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06889883Recruiting
Blood test for early colorectal cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early. You may be able to join if you are about to have a colonoscopy or surgery for a suspected tumor.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18 years+ - NCT06891183Recruiting
Heat therapy for lung tumors
This trial uses heat, delivered through a needle, to destroy small lung tumors. It might be an option for people who cannot have surgery due to other health problems.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13,068 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.
