Early bladder cancer study using new drugs and BCG
This trial tests whether a new bladder cancer drug (SHR-1501) works alone or combined with BCG, and compares options with another drug (SHR-1316), in people with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help reduce cancer coming back and improve control of the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07064681Recruiting
AK104 plus TACE for resectable liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (AK104) to a standard liver cancer treatment (TACE) helps prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with early-stage liver cancer that can be surgically removed and who have a high risk of recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05422066RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor with standard chemo for high-risk lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies selinexor added to standard R-CHOP chemotherapy in people with a high-risk type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is “germinal center B-cell” (GC). It aims to improve disease control in people who need stronger treatment at the start.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04278469Recruiting
Study for early breast cancer patients with low-risk genes
This trial studies early, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and looks at a group with “high clinical risk” but “low genetic (tumor) risk.” It may help researchers understand which patients may benefit most from treatment decisions guided by genetic tumor testing.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT07257055RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for aggressive mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a two-step treatment for people with a fast-growing form of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). First, you take a daily pill (BTKi) plus an infusion (rituximab), then a newer targeted therapy (glofitamab) to try to make the response last. The goal is to shrink the cancer and keep it away.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07475026RecruitingPhase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and lenvatinib) given before surgery can lower the risk of liver cancer coming back in people with early-stage but high-risk disease.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07748325RecruitingPhase 2
Checking if immunotherapy after surgery helps prevent lung cancer return
This trial is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who have already had immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, followed by complete removal of the tumor. It tests whether continuing immunotherapy after surgery (adjuvant treatment) can lower the risk of cancer coming back compared to just watching and waiting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07226544RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab before surgery for high-risk kidney cancer
This trial tests giving the drug ivonescimab before surgery for patients with high-risk clear cell kidney cancer. The goal is to see if it can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06449313RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery for stage 3 disease
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink stage 3 lung cancer and improve outcomes. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and possibly lower the chance of it coming back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for clinical high risk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 567 recruiting clinical high risk 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 clinical high risk 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 clinical high risk 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.
