Durvalumab with chemo before and after bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of durvalumab (an immunotherapy) with standard chemotherapy before and after bladder removal surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if adding durvalumab helps improve outcomes while keeping side effects manageable.
ChermsideAges 18 years+ - NCT06964737RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR T-cells that target a protein called GARP on your tumor cells. It is for people whose high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) has come back after previous treatment.

This trial tests a new approach for people with a single large brain tumor that has spread from another cancer. You would receive a short, focused dose of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) in small, separate treatments, followed by surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.

Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07018037Recruiting
TTV levels during first immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This study looks at whether a virus called TTV (torque teno virus) in the blood can help predict how well immunotherapy works for advanced kidney cancer. If you have clear cell renal cell carcinoma that has spread and are about to start your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07023432RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan vs. watchful waiting for slow-growing kidney cancer
This trial compares two approaches for people with slow-growing, metastatic clear cell kidney cancer: taking a daily pill (belzutifan) or monitoring the cancer closely without treatment. The goal is to see if starting treatment early can help control the cancer longer than waiting.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,561 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.
