Combination treatment for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, TACE (a procedure to block blood flow to tumors), and lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) for people with liver cancer that has not responded to initial treatment. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06686771RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation for limited growth in advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether giving high-precision radiation to a few spots that are growing during immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if treating these limited areas of resistance can extend the time the cancer stays under control.

Testing blood DNA after 6 months of Waldenström treatment
This study looks at a blood test called circulating tumor DNA, measured after 6 months of treatment, to see how well it predicts outcomes in people with Waldenström macroglobulinemia. It may help doctors better judge who is responding and who may need treatment adjustments earlier.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first-line treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 412 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.
