Recruiting studies
- NCT00898313Recruiting
Study looks for cancer clues in people at high risk for lung cancer
This study enrolls adults who are being checked for possible lung cancer because of concerning symptoms or a high-risk situation. It aims to find molecular (cell/DNA-related) predictors that may help doctors better recognize lung cancer earlier.

Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.

Testing spinal fluid in EGFR-mutant lung cancer with brain covering spread
This trial looks at spinal fluid (also called CSF) in adults with EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has spread to the lining around the brain/spinal cord. The goal is to better understand the disease and what the spinal fluid tests may show to guide care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07446322RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug plus standard chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if adding the experimental drug pelareorep to standard chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) and bevacizumab can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has a RAS mutation and is not caused by high microsatellite instability. You may be able to join if you've already tried one type of chemotherapy and it stopped working or you couldn't tolerate it.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07388524RecruitingPhase 3
Testing atezolizumab after surgery for early stage lung cancer
This trial tests if the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab can prevent early stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people whose tumors have high levels of a protein called PD-L1 (50% or more) and do not have certain gene changes (EGFR or ALK).
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217704RecruitingPhase 3
New PET scan to find stomach or esophageal cancer spread
This trial tests a new PET scan drug (18F-FAPI) to see if it can better detect where stomach or esophageal cancer has spread. It may help doctors plan the right treatment for you.
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06223568RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without vaccine for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial compares standard chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy combined with an investigational vaccine (PRGN-2009) before surgery for newly diagnosed HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine improves outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07878988RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LTZ-232 for advanced colorectal and other solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called LTZ-232 in people with advanced colorectal cancer or other solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05296577RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, anlotinib and vinorelbine, for people with advanced breast cancer that is HER2-negative. It aims to see if this combination can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07877376Recruiting
How thinking problems affect pain in breast cancer survivors
This study looks at whether mild memory or thinking issues after breast cancer treatment are linked to ongoing pain. If you join, you will help doctors understand this connection, which may lead to better pain care.
Boulogne-Billancourt, IDEAges 35–65 - NCT07683754RecruitingPhase 3
T-DXd with hormone therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted drug combination for HER2-positive, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread. It aims to shrink tumors and control the disease for as long as possible, with a planned switch to maintenance therapy after initial response.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07466498RecruitingPhase 2
Estrogen patch for men with metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests whether an estrogen patch can improve quality of life for men with prostate cancer that has spread. It may be an option if you haven't started certain hormone treatments yet.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07426952Recruiting
Weight management support for breast cancer survivors
This study tests a weight management program for breast cancer survivors who live in rural areas. The program aims to help you manage weight and improve symptoms.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06340568RecruitingPhase 3
Study of an experimental drug vs. chemo for recurring uterine cancer
This trial is testing an experimental therapy against standard chemotherapy for people with endometrial cancer that has come back. The study looks for a certain protein (HER2) on cancer cells to decide which treatment group you may be in.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07288034RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy biomarkers for advanced lung cancer
This study looks at blood and tissue biomarkers to predict how well immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It also helps decide the best second treatment if the first one stops working.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06663748RecruitingPhase 2
ARX788 for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies a new drug called ARX788 for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 45–75 - NCT04305834RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib plus hormone pills for metastatic breast cancer in older adults
This Phase 2 study tests whether abemaciclib combined with standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control metastatic breast cancer in people age 70 and older. It may help if your cancer has already grown despite prior hormone therapy and/or other cancer medicines.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT06917092RecruitingPhase 2

- 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.
