Recruiting studies
- NCT04055220Recruiting
Regorafenib to keep bone cancer from coming back
This trial studies whether regorafenib given after first treatment helps patients with bone sarcoma stay in remission longer. It focuses on safety and whether the medicine can prevent the cancer from growing or returning.
BesançonAges 12 years+ - NCT03703271RecruitingPhase 3
Uterine scraping as first treatment for low-risk GTN
This trial tests whether using a hysteroscope (a tiny camera) to gently scrape the uterus again, instead of starting chemotherapy right away, can effectively treat a low-risk, pregnancy-related tumor that returns after a molar pregnancy. It's for Chinese women whose disease is still in an early, low-risk stage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 12–60 - NCT03356054RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug for CD30-positive lymphoma after first treatment fails
This early-phase study tests a lymphoma treatment in adults whose diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is “CD30-positive” and who didn’t respond well to first-line chemotherapy (like R-CHOP) or had an early relapse. It aims to see if the treatment can shrink the lymphoma and is safe enough to move forward.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07562152RecruitingPhase 3
Atebimetinib Plus Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel for New Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—atebimetinib (a new targeted therapy), gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel (two standard chemotherapy drugs)—as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas. The goal is to see if adding atebimetinib helps patients live longer and feel better.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276100RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant to help liver cancer that worsened on first treatment
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy stool bacteria into your gut can help your own immune system fight liver cancer that has stopped responding to the standard first combination treatment (atezolizumab + bevacizumab). It is for patients whose liver cancer has started growing quickly despite that treatment.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT06994377Recruiting
Emotional distress study for newly treated metastatic breast cancer
This trial studies emotional distress in people with metastatic breast cancer who have not yet received treatment for their advanced disease. It explores how different standard first-line therapies affect emotional well-being.
AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT04428554RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation to control bladder cancer spread after no growth
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) to a few remaining metastatic spots can stop bladder cancer from progressing after initial chemotherapy or immunotherapy has worked. It may help patients who still have up to three remaining distant lesions but are not getting worse.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT06367088RecruitingPhase 2
Combination drug therapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (cadonilimab) plus chemotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or spread. It aims to see if the combination works better than standard treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07770113RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced stomach cancer after first-line therapy
This study tests a new combination of drugs (apatinib, nab-paclitaxel, and possibly adebrelimab) for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has progressed after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06838910RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and anlotinib for thymus cancer after first treatment
This study tests a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and anlotinib) as a second treatment option for people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma whose cancer has worsened after first-line therapy. It aims to see if this combination can control the tumor and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 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 - NCT05603104RecruitingPhase 3
Medication intensification after first treatment failure in mood and psychosis
This Phase 3 study tests a stronger medication approach after your first current treatment hasn’t worked well enough. It targets people with schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, or bipolar depression who still have significant symptoms and life impact.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for first-line?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 397 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.
