Recruiting studies
- NCT06543173Recruiting
Preventive heart ablation with defibrillator in high-risk patients
This study tests if doing a special heart procedure (catheter ablation) at the same time as implanting a defibrillator (ICD) can prevent dangerous heart rhythms better than the ICD alone. It is for people with a very weak heart pump due to blocked arteries who are getting a first-time ICD.
Copenhagen, Region HAges 18 years+ - NCT06524583RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk uterine leiomyosarcoma

AngersAges 18–75 - NCT06523868Recruiting
Multi-cancer early detection test for military veterans
This trial is testing a blood test that looks for early signs of multiple types of cancer. It is designed for current or former military members who are at least 45 years old and have used VA healthcare. If the test finds something, you would need to be willing to travel to Boston for follow-up.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45 years+ - NCT06499870RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs with radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether combining two hormone therapy drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, with radiation therapy can help treat very high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for men whose cancer has a high chance of coming back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant versus standard hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This trial compares a new medicine, elacestrant, to the usual hormone therapy for people with early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative, and who have a high chance of it coming back. The goal is to see if elacestrant works better at preventing the cancer from returning.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06494540Recruiting
TDC treatment for advanced non-squamous lung cancer
This study is looking at how well a new treatment called TDC (which includes durvalumab and chemotherapy) works for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer that has spread and has specific genetic features. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe in the real world, and it might be an option if you are starting this therapy anyway.
Bad HomburgAges 18–120 - NCT06476132RecruitingPhase 2
Belumosudil for lung transplant patients at risk of chronic rejection
This trial tests whether the drug Belumosudil can help prevent chronic lung rejection in people who recently had a lung transplant and showed signs of early rejection. It may improve long-term lung health.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06467799RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before and after surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests giving a liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC) plus an immunotherapy (PD-1) before surgery, followed by more immunotherapy after surgery, for people with a specific type of liver cancer that has a high chance of coming back. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the risk of recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06472128Recruiting

This study tests a digital application to help patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during their hospital stay. It may assist with tracking symptoms, education, or communication with care teams.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT06450171Recruiting
Multi-cancer early detection test for people at high risk
This study tests a blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening test in people with a high risk of cancer due to inherited gene changes or strong family history. The goal is to see if this test can find cancer early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06440850RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy for high-risk BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer
This trial tests two targeted drugs, vemurafenib and cobimetinib, for people with high-risk thyroid cancer that has a specific BRAF V600E mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery or other initial treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06410690Recruiting
AI tool to predict high-risk coronary plaques from heart scans
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to analyze heart CT scans (CCTA) and identify dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to a heart attack. It aims to see if AI can better predict high-risk plaques in people with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06398457RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Darzalex Before Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Graft Failure
This trial tests giving a drug called Darzalex Faspro before the usual desensitization and a stem cell transplant for people at high risk of graft failure due to donor-specific antibodies. The goal is to prevent the transplant from failing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06389786Recruiting
Using a new PET scan to find cancer spread before prostate surgery
This trial tests a special PET/MRI scan that may help doctors see if prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes before surgery. It could help guide treatment decisions for men with high-risk prostate cancer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 30–85 - NCT06365619RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for recurrent melanoma
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs, ipilimumab and nivolumab, given before surgery for people whose melanoma has come back after previous anti-PD1 treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and help prevent future recurrence.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06344819RecruitingPhase 2
Acupuncture for People at High Risk of Sepsis
This study tests whether acupuncture can help people at high risk for sepsis, a serious infection that can lead to organ failure. If you’re 18 or older, have had a sepsis order set put in within the last two days, and are not yet in the ICU, you may be able to join.

This Phase 1 study tests whether a second re-infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel (CAR-T) is safe in people with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that came back or did not respond after standard second-line CAR-T. It may help some patients by trying to improve disease control while carefully monitoring side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for clinical high risk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 551 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.
