Recruiting studies
- NCT05547529RecruitingPhase 3

This trial looks at a treatment that uses MRI and ultrasound to guide a laser to destroy prostate cancer. It may help men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who do not have spread beyond the prostate.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT04690439Recruiting
Light therapy to treat breast cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04370496Recruiting
Testing minimally invasive endoscopic stapler surgery for early cervix cancer
This trial tests how safe a specific minimally invasive surgery tool (an endoscopic stapler) is for people with early-stage cervical cancer. If you qualify, you would get surgery to remove the cervix area using a minimally invasive approach and the study will track safety outcomes.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05937958Recruiting
MR-guided linac boost for gynecologic cancers when brachytherapy isn’t possible
This study tests a targeted radiation “boost” delivered using an MRI-guided machine for certain gynecologic cancers when the usual treatment (brachytherapy) can’t be done. It may help improve control of the cancer while still aiming for cure.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06082180RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive neck lymph node removal in low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It compares two surgical approaches: one that removes just the thyroid gland, and another that also removes some lymph nodes in the center of the neck as a preventive measure. The goal is to see if removing these lymph nodes helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05494060RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemo plus immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an anti-cancer immune treatment and another targeted drug to standard chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of cancer coming back. It is for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows leftover cancer-related DNA after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT03432806Recruiting
Looking at tissue samples to guide colon cancer treatment
This study collects tissue, blood, and imaging samples from people having surgery for colon cancer or related liver tumors, to learn more about the disease and potentially improve future treatments.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04444869RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation with chemotherapy for low-risk HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether a less intense (lower-dose) radiation plan, combined with chemotherapy, can control HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer with fewer side effects. It targets people considered “low-risk” based on tumor size and lymph node involvement.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03815890RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery nivolumab for certain types of breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving nivolumab before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment) can improve outcomes for people with certain resectable breast cancers. It focuses on tumor types linked to immune activity (like triple-negative and specific lab markers).
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03192501Recruiting
Using prior scans to guide cancer treatment choices
This trial tests whether using existing “PACS” scan images to guide individualized cancer treatment (compared with standard care) can improve outcomes for people with advanced or metastatic cancer. It may help doctors make more precise treatment decisions using your past imaging.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06466902Recruiting
Using photos to check lymph node removal in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests if taking photos during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery can help doctors check that all the right lymph nodes were removed. If you're having a laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy for stomach cancer, this study might be for you.
Cremona, CRAges 18 years+ - NCT07815665RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ivonescimab plus enfortumab vedotin for advanced bladder cancer
This study compares two drug combinations for advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. The drugs aim to help the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07796880RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug with hormone therapy before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug called culmerciclib when given with hormone therapy before breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients with hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07780240Recruiting
Understanding arm band pain after breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how common axillary web syndrome (a rope-like band in the armpit after breast cancer surgery) is, who gets it, and how it affects arm function. It aims to help doctors better predict and manage this condition.
Istanbul, BAGCILARAges 18–80 - NCT06140589Recruiting
Cadonilimab for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab for women with cervical cancer that has returned, spread, or is advanced. The goal is to see if it works well, how safe it is, and if it costs less than standard treatments.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07748598Recruiting
Brain scan monitoring for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study is testing regular MRI brain scans to find any brain metastases early in people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. It aims to see if early detection can help guide treatment and improve outcomes.
LiverpoolAges 16 years+ - NCT07717307Recruiting
Comparing two neck surgeries for oral cancer spread
This trial tests whether a smaller neck surgery works as well as a larger one for people with oral cancer that has spread to one lymph node. The goal is to see if less extensive surgery can reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Kolhāpur, MaharashtraAges 21–75 - NCT07702708Recruiting
AI predicts chemotherapy response in HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial uses AI to analyze your pre-treatment MRI and predict how well your tumor will respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who need chemo before their operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07698899RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for childhood brain and CNS cancers
This trial tests a radioactive drug (177Lu-DTPA-Omburtamab) given directly into the fluid around the brain for children and teens with certain brain cancers or cancers that have spread to the central nervous system. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for tumors that have come back or not responded to other therapies.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 3–22 - NCT06649474Recruiting
Oxaliplatin side effects linked to HMGB1 blood levels
This study checks if a substance called HMGB1 in your blood is linked to nerve damage and liver side effects from the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. It is for people with a specific type of stomach or pancreas cancer that can be surgically removed.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07689851RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiotherapy plus an immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial studies a new immunotherapy drug (SHR-1701) combined with standard chemoradiotherapy for people with advanced stomach or esophagus cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding this immune treatment helps control the tumor better than standard treatments alone.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04103372Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,511 recruiting colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) 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 colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) 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 colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) 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.
