Recruiting studies
- NCT05977036Recruiting
Biomarker test to guide early treatment for HR+ HER2- breast cancer
This study uses a lab “biomarker” test to help doctors choose the best first treatment for people with HR+ (hormone-receptor positive), HER2-negative metastatic or unresectable breast cancer. The goal is to see if this biomarker-guided approach can improve which therapy you start with.

PET/MRI scan for certain breast cancer types
This trial is studying if a special PET/MRI scan using a tracer called 18F FES can help doctors decide the best treatment for people with Luminal A or hormone-receptor-positive lobular breast cancer. The scan looks at estrogen receptors to see if your cancer might respond to hormone therapy.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05984589Recruiting

Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06001658RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before and after surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) and an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) given before and after surgery for people with bile duct or gallbladder cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06007924RecruitingPhase 2
Study of avutometinib and defactinib for thyroid cancer
This trial tests two oral drugs (avutometinib and defactinib) for people with certain types of advanced thyroid cancer that have specific genetic changes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06007794Recruiting
Muscle health study for post-cancer patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure thigh muscle mass and compares it to a whole-body scan. It aims to understand muscle changes after cancer treatment.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–74 - NCT06008392Recruiting
Mayo Clinic cancer genetics research study
This study collects blood, saliva, tumor tissue, or hair samples to look for inherited and tumor-related gene changes that may explain your cancer, guide prevention, or help find better treatments. You can join if you are a Mayo Clinic patient with cancer and your doctor has ordered genetic testing.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06016569Recruiting
Breath test for early lung cancer in high-risk smokers
This study tests a new breath test to find early signs of lung cancer in people at high risk. It looks for cancer biomarkers in the air you breathe out. If you are a heavy smoker between 55 and 74, this trial may help detect lung cancer earlier.
BrnoAges 55–74 - NCT06017557Recruiting
Predicting surgery results for advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at results from surgery to remove as much advanced ovarian cancer as possible after chemotherapy. Participating hospitals are in Italy and Canada.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06018896RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C for late-stage pancreatic cancer quality of life
This trial is testing if high-dose vitamin C can improve quality of life for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has continued to grow after two previous treatments. It aims to see if vitamin C can help patients feel better and possibly slow the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06018935Recruiting
A study to improve total management of ovarian cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13,110 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.
