Test medicine add-on to erlotinib for EGFR lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding OBI-833/OBI-821 to the standard targeted pill erlotinib works better for some people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors that already started responding to erlotinib.
Taipei, Beitou DistrictAges 20 years+ - NCT05475366Recruiting

Epcoritamab and rituximab for untreated follicular lymphoma
This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of epcoritamab plus rituximab can work as a first treatment for follicular lymphoma. It may help people whose lymphoma is causing symptoms or affecting organs, or who have bulky disease, by targeting the lymphoma cells.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05832827RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment combo for thymic cancer using pembrolizumab plus drugs
This Phase 2 study tests a first (initial) treatment combination of pembrolizumab with three other drugs (carboplatin, paclitaxel, and lenvatinib) for advanced or recurrent thymic carcinoma. It aims to shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer when standard chemotherapy has not yet been tried for your situation.
Chūō, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT05862259Recruiting
Immunotherapy as first treatment for advanced stage IV cancers
This study looks at whether immune checkpoint inhibitors given as the first treatment work well and are safe for people with advanced (stage IV) solid tumors. You might qualify if you can take study treatment reliably and your cancer type and health match the study rules.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05949541RecruitingPhase 2
Everolimus with first-line hormone therapy for specific breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding everolimus to standard first-line hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control a certain type of advanced breast cancer. It is designed for people whose tumor matches a specific “SNF1 subtype.”
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06046794Recruiting
Gemcitabine for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests gemcitabine chemotherapy in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who cannot take FOLFIRINOX. It aims to see how well gemcitabine works based on a specific tumor marker called GemCore.

Toripalimab plus cryoablation for lung cancer with limited progression
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has started to grow again in only a few spots after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer without switching to a completely new therapy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first-line treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 423 recruiting first-line treatment 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 treatment 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 treatment 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.
