Comparing two ways to give ondansetron for chemo nausea in kids
This trial compares two forms of ondansetron (a nausea medicine) — a dissolving film you put in the mouth versus a needle injection — to see which works better in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in children with solid tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06702566Recruiting
Study of Ferritin in Immune-Related Side Effects
This study looks at how a blood marker called ferritin relates to side effects from immunotherapy or other cancer treatments. It may help doctors predict and manage those side effects better.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06745076RecruitingPhase 2
Using a blood test to safely lower chemo for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors safely reduce chemotherapy for people with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. If you have stage 3 or 4 Hodgkin lymphoma that hasn't been treated yet and are healthy enough for strong chemo, this study may be an option for you.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06742424RecruitingPhase 2
PD-L1 antibody + bevacizumab + liver chemo for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining a PD-L1 antibody (an immunotherapy) with bevacizumab (a drug that slows blood vessel growth to tumors) and a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread outside the liver. It is designed for patients who have not previously received these specific treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07537348RecruitingPhase 2
Leucine-restricted diet with chemotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This study tests whether a special diet low in leucine (an amino acid) combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy can safely treat advanced stomach cancer that has spread. Researchers want to see if this dietary approach helps the treatment work better and reduces side effects.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT06738160RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for bone metastases from advanced lung cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug (narlumosbart) and targeted radiation to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bones. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,994 recruiting chemotherapy 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 chemotherapy 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 chemotherapy 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.
