Ivonescimab for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab as the first treatment for people with advanced (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have high levels of PD-L1 (a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system). The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.

New Drug Combination for Advanced Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-B01D1 combined with an immune therapy (tislelizumab) and sometimes chemotherapy against standard chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this new combination works better and is safer than current treatment.

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.
