Recruiting studies
- NCT02885753RecruitingPhase 3
Liver-only metastatic colon cancer trial using targeted chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests different ways to deliver chemotherapy for colon cancer that has spread only to the liver (with limited possible tiny lung spots). It looks at whether the treatment plan improves outcomes compared with another chemotherapy approach, using oxaliplatin and LV5FU2 (with or without irinotecan) plus an added targeted medicine.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07757165RecruitingPhase 2

Shanghai, shangaiShanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07480928RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy called CAR-NK cells that target two proteins (MSLN and MUC1) often found on pancreatic cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed, and who have already tried at least one standard treatment.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07471776RecruitingPhase 2
Predicting ADC treatment response with PET scans in advanced breast cancer
This study uses special PET scans to see if a type of targeted therapy called an anti-TROP2 ADC will work well for your advanced breast cancer. The therapy is already part of your standard care; the scans help doctors understand how your tumor responds.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05796973RecruitingPhase 3
Exercise and atorvastatin for metastatic cancer outcomes
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, along with the cholesterol medicine atorvastatin, can improve outcomes in people with metastatic prostate, breast, ovarian, or kidney cancer. It may help by reducing inflammation and supporting physical function during cancer treatment.

- 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.
