ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT07554898RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose Radiation Plus Orelabrutinib for Early-stage MALT Lymphoma
This trial tests combining very low-dose radiation therapy with a targeted drug called orelabrutinib (a type of cancer-fighting protein inhibitor) as a first treatment for early-stage MALT lymphoma, a slow-growing blood cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer with fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07570849RecruitingPhase 2
Chidamide with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—chidamide (a new type of cancer drug), chemotherapy, and immunotherapy—for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a cancer of the bile ducts inside the liver). The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer when used as a first treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07587840RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T Cell Therapy After Initial Treatment for Follicular Lymphoma
This study tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR-T cells (designed cells that fight lymphoma) given after you've received standard chemotherapy for follicular lymphoma.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first-line?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 404 recruiting first-line 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 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 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.
