Study for leftover cancer DNA in HER2-positive early breast cancer
This study looks for tiny traces of cancer after treatment by testing blood for “ctDNA,” which is leftover cancer DNA. It includes people with HER2-positive early breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery to see if this blood test can detect signs of remaining disease.

Targeted drug combo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer after resistance
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (osimertinib and dalpiciclib) for people with advanced lung cancer whose tumors have a specific EGFR mutation and a change in the CDK4/6 pathway, and whose cancer has stopped responding to a third-generation EGFR targeted therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06387017Recruiting
Can blood tests improve lung cancer screening in smokers with artery disease?
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help find lung cancer early in people who have smoked for a long time and also have artery disease. The goal is to see if adding these tests to current screening methods can better identify those at highest risk.
MarseilleAges 45–80 - NCT06387056RecruitingPhase 2
Gene-guided hormone therapy before prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving a combination of hormone treatments before surgery can improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer that has spread locally or to a few bone spots. It uses genetic testing to match participants with the most effective treatment.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06389409Recruiting
Quality of life after testicular cancer surgery
This study looks at how testicular cancer and its treatments affect your quality of life and daily function. Researchers want to learn more about the long-term outcomes of surgery so they can better support patients like you.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05699655RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New pre-surgery treatment for advanced stomach cancer with immunotherapy
This trial tests a new combination (tislelizumab plus apatinib and chemotherapy) before surgery for certain advanced stomach cancers, compared with the standard chemotherapy plus S1. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes before and around surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06391892RecruitingPhase 3
Liquid biopsy guided treatment for early pancreatic cancer
This trial uses a liquid biopsy (a simple blood test that looks for cancer DNA) to decide whether you should have chemotherapy before surgery or go straight to surgery. It is for people with pancreatic cancer that has not spread beyond the pancreas.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 18–99 - NCT06395844RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NK cell therapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new therapy that uses your own natural killer (NK) cells, modified to better fight cancer and injected directly into your abdomen. It's for people with advanced ovarian cancer who cannot have surgery or whose tumor cannot be fully removed.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT05539677Recruiting
Research biobank and patient registry for aggressive solid tumors
This study builds a biobank and patient registry using tumor samples and blood. It helps researchers better understand aggressive cancers and may improve future treatments by testing immune (defense) responses.
Saint PetersburgAges 1 year+ - NCT06251947RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Efbemalenograstim alfa for ovarian or cervical cancer chemotherapy
This trial tests a medication (Efbemalenograstim alfa) that helps boost your white blood cell counts during chemotherapy for ovarian or cervical cancer. It aims to reduce the risk of serious infections (febrile neutropenia) while you receive standard treatment with paclitaxel plus carboplatin or cisplatin, with or without bevacizumab.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–70 - NCT06403735RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QLC1101 for advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests a new drug, QLC1101, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. It may be an option if you have tried other treatments or cannot take them.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05730608Recruiting
PET/CT scan test for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies how an FDG PET/CT scan (a special imaging test that looks for active cancer activity) can be used in people with high-risk primary or recurring breast cancer. It may help doctors better identify areas of concern and guide future care.
DrammenAges 18 years+ - NCT06109454Recruiting
Huaier granules after lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether Huaier granules can help prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with stage II–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who have recently had their tumor completely removed and have not had other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06417567Recruiting
Preventing nausea and vomiting after GI cancer surgery
This study tests whether the medication NEPA (Netupitant and Palonosetron) can prevent nausea and vomiting in people who have had surgery for liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic cancer. It may help those who want to avoid post-surgery sickness.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT04444869RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation with chemotherapy for low-risk HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether a less intense (lower-dose) radiation plan, combined with chemotherapy, can control HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer with fewer side effects. It targets people considered “low-risk” based on tumor size and lymph node involvement.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05954078RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery
This trial checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA methylation) can help decide the best chemotherapy after surgery for people at higher risk of colon cancer coming back. It may help spare some patients unnecessary treatment while aiming to improve outcomes for those likely to relapse.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07851857RecruitingPhase 3

Checking coronary calcium to study late heart blood vessel changes
This study looks at coronary calcium (a signal seen on heart scans) to help measure early or late heart blood-vessel problems in people who had cancer treatment as children or young adults. The goal is to better understand who may be at higher risk years later, especially after radiation or certain chemotherapy.

- 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.
