Recruiting studies
- NCT07493668RecruitingPhase 2
Fostrox plus Lenvatinib for advanced liver cancer after immunotherapy

Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—two chemotherapy medications (carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel) plus an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab)—as a first-line treatment for advanced squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment and is safe for patients who haven't received prior systemic cancer treatment.

Supplement for fatigue in stage IV colon cancer
This study tests an oral supplement (Nuvastatic) to see if it helps reduce fatigue in people with stage IV colon cancer who are starting chemotherapy for the first time. If you are 18–65 and have fatigue that is affecting you, this trial might offer a way to feel better.
Srikakulam, Andhra PradeshAges 18–65 - NCT06883136Enrolling by invitation
Sintilimab plus chemo for elderly advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug sintilimab plus standard chemotherapy (platinum-based doublet) as the first treatment for older adults (60–80) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain gene mutations. The goal is to see if this approach works better than chemotherapy alone.
Jinan, ShandongAges 60–80 - NCT06755515Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Rulonilimab + Chemo for Advanced Cervical Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Rulonilimab combined with chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, as the first treatment for cervical cancer that has spread or come back. It’s for people whose tumors have a specific marker (PD-L1) and who haven’t had other treatments for advanced disease.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07748533RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat autoimmune hemolytic anemia
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (CAR T-cells) to stop them from attacking your red blood cells. It is for people with autoimmune hemolytic anemia or Evans syndrome who have not improved after at least 3 previous treatments.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07559760RecruitingPhase 2
New combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a new drug combination for colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and did not respond to or could not tolerate standard first-line chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new approach can help shrink the cancer and extend survival.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT06375564RecruitingPhase 1
A new radioactive drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-AB-3PRGD2) that targets a protein called integrin αvβ3 found on many solid tumors. It is for people whose cancer has not responded to or has come back after several standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first line therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 456 recruiting first line therapy 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 first line therapy 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 first line therapy 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.
