RoskildeAges Any age - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03521830RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and other immunotherapy for advanced basal cell skin cancer
This study tests how well the immunotherapy medicine nivolumab works—either by itself or combined with other immune-boosting drugs—for people with advanced basal cell carcinoma that can’t be removed by surgery or has spread. It’s also looking at what to do if the cancer grows again after an earlier immunotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03592472RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pazopanib with or without abexinostat for kidney cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies how well pazopanib works, and whether adding abexinostat can improve outcomes, for advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. You may qualify if you have clear cell renal cell carcinoma and have not already had certain targeted kidney-cancer medicines.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03785743Recruiting
Compare keyhole vs open surgery for pancreatic cancer

Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT03894917Recruiting
Study blood and imaging features in older adults with liver cancer
This study looks at what liver cancer is like in newly diagnosed people who are older and whose cancer cannot be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better understand disease behavior and how treatments may work and affect the body.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03895359RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus targeted radiation versus chemo alone for liver cancer
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer that can’t be removed with surgery: chemo through the liver (TACE) alone versus TACE plus a precise radiation treatment (SBRT). It may help people whose cancer stays in the liver but can’t be operated on, by testing whether adding focused radiation improves outcomes.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03897543RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ABX196 plus nivolumab for advanced liver cancer
This trial studies whether ABX196 combined with nivolumab can slow or treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) when it can’t be fully cured with surgery or local procedures. It’s early-phase, so the goal is to find the best way to treat and whether it shows signs of benefit.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03907826RecruitingPhase 3
PD-1 therapy plus chemoradiation for recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether adding a PD-1 antibody (an immunotherapy) to standard chemoradiation can better control recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer that can’t be removed with surgery. If you qualify, you’d receive the study treatment and be closely monitored for side effects and cancer response.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03909282Recruiting
Surgery now versus radiation then delayed surgery for DCIS
This trial compares two approaches for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): having surgery first versus getting radiation first and then having surgery later. It aims to see which plan controls DCIS better while affecting treatment timing and outcomes.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03948100Recruiting
Yoga coaching for lung or esophageal cancer during radiation
This study tests whether a guided yoga program helps people with lung or esophageal cancer improve strength, daily functioning, and quality of life while they receive radiation therapy. It also involves a family caregiver, to support the patient during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03964753RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before surgery for middle-lower esophageal cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by treating cancer earlier while it’s still in one region.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT03977571Recruiting
Surgery plus cancer drugs for kidney cancer that spread
This trial studies whether removing the kidney tumor with “deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy” (surgery at a later time) works best for people whose metastatic kidney cancer is already present. It compares a standard treatment approach using either immunotherapy (nivolumab/ipilimumab) or a targeted pill plus immunotherapy (TKI/IO), with planned surgery afterward.
Aarhus, Central Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07178301RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation to the neck is safe and effective for people with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. It may reduce side effects while still treating the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03374267Recruiting
Urologic cancer registry study

- Are there clinical trials for carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,160 recruiting carcinoma 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 carcinoma 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 carcinoma 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.
