Recruiting studies
- NCT05457049Recruiting
Skip extra treatment for early lung cancer after surgery if no cancer found
This study checks if people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer can safely skip chemotherapy or radiation after surgery when repeated blood tests show no sign of cancer left. You would only be watched with regular scans and blood tests to make sure the cancer doesn't come back.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05432856Recruiting
Track metabolic health habits during breast cancer treatment
This study follows how “metabolic health” patterns (like eating timing and daily activity) change over time during breast cancer care. It may help researchers learn which habit patterns are linked to better outcomes and comfort during chemotherapy.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05447923Recruiting
Colorectal screening study for Black and underserved Phoenix adults
This study aims to help improve colorectal cancer screening (checking the colon) in Black and underserved communities in Phoenix. It may help you find out which screening tests fit you and encourage regular screening.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 45 years+ - NCT05422690RecruitingPhase 2
Treating bile duct cancer with chemo plus Y-90 radiation
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) and an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) with targeted Y-90 radiation can shrink inoperable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tumors. It’s looking for better tumor shrinking and improved cancer control.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05414045Recruiting
Transplanting your own frozen testicle tissue for future fertility
This trial studies transplanting frozen testicular tissue back into the body to help restore fertility later. It is meant for people who preserved testicular tissue as children before cancer or a blood disorder treatment.
BrusselsAges 18–50 - NCT05454618Recruiting
Deciding to join a pediatric cancer treatment trial
This study looks at the decision-making process for parents (or legal guardians) when their child is newly diagnosed with cancer and might consider enrolling in a treatment trial. It may help improve how families are informed and supported when making these choices.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
BaselAges 4–22 - NCT05432297Recruiting
Exercise program for people getting treatment for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether a preventive, structured physical activity program can help people during and around curative treatment for head and neck cancers. It aims to see if exercise is safe and beneficial for strength, function, and well-being during radio(±chemo) therapy.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05440760Recruiting
Virtual reality during brachytherapy to improve patient care
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during a type of internal radiation treatment for certain gynecologic cancers can improve your experience and quality of care. You may wear a VR headset while receiving brachytherapy, and your comfort and ability to follow the treatment plan will be checked.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05436093Recruiting
PET scan using a tumor-targeting probe in solid tumors
This trial studies whether a special PET scan probe that targets CLDN18.2 can help show solid tumors in the body. If you have a solid tumor that can be measured on scan, you may be invited to have imaging with the probe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02660645Recruiting
Blue light bladder scan for suspected bladder cancer
This trial uses a special blue-light camera during a bladder procedure to help doctors better see non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help find cancer spots more clearly so they can be treated sooner.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05389423RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide plus chemotherapy for HIV-related lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether a combination of pomalidomide and a dose-adjusted chemotherapy plan (EPOCH), with or without rituximab, can treat certain aggressive B-cell lymphomas in people living with HIV. It aims to find a safe dosing approach and see how well the treatment works for specific lymphoma types or high risk of spread to the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05398783Recruiting
Study of how metabolism and body composition change over time
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT05371808Recruiting
Early vs delayed treatment for high-risk CLL: cost study
This study compares early treatment versus delaying treatment in newly diagnosed people with high-risk CLL/SLL who feel well. It mainly looks at the overall “costs and value” of each approach and asks patients to complete short health and quality-of-life questionnaires.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05386108RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test abemaciclib plus elacestrant for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether the combination of abemaciclib and elacestrant can slow or shrink ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is designed for people whose cancer has progressed despite prior hormone (endocrine) treatment.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05365035RecruitingPhase 2
Phase 2 trial for high-risk blood cancers with timed chemo
This study tests a mix of medicines (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and venetoclax) alternated with azacitidine and venetoclax to treat higher-risk CMML or MDS after prior treatment or when standard treatment may not work well. It may help by improving blood counts and controlling the disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05404230Recruiting
Preventing nerve damage from oxaliplatin in the hands and feet
This study looks at ways to prevent numbness or nerve pain in the hands and feet that can happen from oxaliplatin treatment. It includes people with colon or rectal cancer who will be getting standard chemotherapy with capecitabine plus oxaliplatin.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05391490RecruitingPhase 1
Testing donated immune cells for advanced CD19 blood cancers
This early-phase trial tests donated (allogeneic) immune cells engineered to recognize CD19, a target found on many B-cell cancers. It’s designed for people whose CD19+ cancer has come back or didn’t respond after several previous treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and control disease.
LondonAges 16–65 - NCT05370079Recruiting
Control group for people with specific serious illnesses
This trial includes a “control” group of people with certain diseases to compare outcomes against another group. If you qualify, you may receive the standard approach used in usual care rather than the experimental treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12,855 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.
