Recruiting studies in Wisconsin
- NCT06064097RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo for young people with nasopharyngeal cancer

Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 21 years - NCT06073431Recruiting
Study on weight loss types in advanced cancer
This study looks at different types of weight loss (cachexia) in people with advanced lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. Researchers want to find patterns to better understand and treat it. You can join even if you haven't lost weight yet.
Eau Claire, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05112601RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus or minus ipilimumab for dMMR endometrial cancer
This Phase 2 study tests the medicines nivolumab (with or without ipilimumab) in people with recurrent endometrial cancer that has “dMMR” (a specific tumor DNA repair defect). It aims to see whether this immune-based treatment can shrink tumors or help them stop growing.
Ashland, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04575935RecruitingPhase 3
Minimally invasive surgery after chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.

Study of ficlatuzumab plus cetuximab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, ficlatuzumab and cetuximab, for people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer that is HPV-negative and has not responded to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06029270RecruitingPhase 2
Adding relatlimab to standard immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called relatlimab to the usual immunotherapy (nivolumab) helps people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread. You will get standard chemotherapy plus nivolumab first, then if it works, you may be randomly assigned to get nivolumab alone or with relatlimab.

Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Minocqua, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Antigo, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting osimertinib with or without bevacizumab helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. Your EGFR mutation test result and past treatments are key to whether you can join.
Appleton, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3

The goal is to see if adding Avastin helps shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Ashland, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07061977RecruitingPhase 3

What taking part in a carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there carcinoma clinical trials in Wisconsin?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 131 recruiting carcinoma studies with a site in Wisconsin, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a carcinoma study in Wisconsin?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Wisconsin to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Wisconsin, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New carcinoma studies open in Wisconsin regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
