Recruiting studies
- NCT05130606Recruiting

Study of inherited genetic risk in lung and related cancers
This study looks for inherited (family-passed) genetic changes that may raise the risk of lung cancer and related thoracic cancers. It may help people and families understand their genetic risk by collecting health information and sometimes specimens from patients and relatives.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02886247Recruiting
Personal or family history of pancreatic tumors registry study
This study is building a registry (a secure list) of people who have had pancreatic tumors or have close family members who have had them. Your information can help researchers learn more and plan future studies for pancreatic cancer.

Family whole-genome testing for children with newly diagnosed cancer
This study offers whole-genome testing (a way to read a person’s DNA) to families after a child is newly diagnosed with cancer. It aims to find inherited changes that may explain why cancer happened and guide future care or monitoring.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges Up to 21 years - NCT06892275Recruiting
Helping high-risk women decide about breast MRI
This study tests a decision aid to help women at high risk for breast cancer decide whether to get a screening MRI. It is designed for Black and Latina women who have had a normal mammogram in the past year.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–74 - NCT07039552Recruiting
Ovarian cancer risk check for family members
This study looks at family members of people with ovarian cancer to build a better tool for predicting their risk. If you have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04891029Recruiting
Early detection testing for uterine or ovarian cancer risk
This study looks for early signs of uterine (endometrial) or ovarian cancer, especially in people with inherited risk. It may help doctors catch problems earlier, when treatment can be more effective.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–75 - NCT04494945Recruiting
Help for people with inherited cancer risk genes
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03922893Recruiting
Finding inherited cancer gene markers in at-risk families
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT05740111Enrolling by invitation
Watching early for pancreatic cancer in people at high risk
This study tests a personalized “watch and check” plan to help find pancreatic cancer as early as possible in people with a strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help doctors tailor how often you’re monitored based on your risk.
OsloAges 30–80 - NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT06926816Recruiting
Genetic testing for cancer risk in young women
This study offers free genetic testing to women ages 25-39 who receive gynecologic care at certain NYU Langone Health clinics. The goal is to find inherited gene changes that may increase risk for ovarian and related cancers, so you can take steps to reduce your risk.
New York, New YorkAges 25–39 - NCT06989814Recruiting
Liquid biopsy test for Lynch syndrome cancer patients
This trial tests a simple blood test to measure tumor DNA in people with Lynch syndrome who have been newly diagnosed with cancer but haven't started treatment yet. It aims to see if this test can help monitor the cancer.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06726642Recruiting
Blood test study for people with inherited cancer risk
This study looks for DNA fragments in blood of people with certain inherited cancer syndromes. It may help find cancer earlier or guide better monitoring. You would give blood samples every 4 months (if in the experimental group).
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Up to 90 years - NCT05724992Recruiting
Study genetic testing in families at pancreatic cancer risk
This program invites people whose families are followed in a pancreatic cancer registry to do a saliva swab genetic test. It helps researchers learn how to identify genetic risk in families and may guide future care.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT05649072Recruiting
Mobile mammogram screening study for women with family cancer risk
This study looks at how well mobile mammogram units and video/phone genetics counseling (“telegenetics”) can help women who may have inherited cancer risk. If you’re scheduled for a mammogram through the Project VALET mobile units, this may be an easy option to learn about and address your risk.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05664867Recruiting
Program study for hereditary breast or colon cancer counseling in clinics
This study helps clinics roll out cancer genetic counseling services for people who may have inherited cancer risk. If you may need genetic testing for hereditary breast or colon cancer, you can be interviewed about your experience with these services.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 25 years+ - NCT04541654Recruiting
Study of families with TP53 gene changes in Li-Fraumeni syndrome
This study is looking at how people in families with certain TP53 gene changes (including Li-Fraumeni syndrome) develop health problems over time. It may help doctors better understand risk and improve care for affected families.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05551416Recruiting
Study to detect and prevent early stomach cancer
This study looks for early warning changes in the stomach and aims to improve early detection and prevention. Depending on your situation, you may be grouped as having stomach symptoms, early lesions that might be removed, already-diagnosed stomach cancer, or a comparison group without stomach problems.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT05694559Recruiting
Genetic risk screening and counseling for Black adults
This study connects Black adults to genetic counseling and genetic testing to learn whether they may have an inherited cancer risk. It uses a simple risk screening tool, including visits by phone or video, to guide next steps.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04531696Recruiting
Post-death breast tissue donation study for cancer research
This trial invites adults with certain breast cancer conditions to donate tissue after death. Researchers hope the donated samples will help better understand cancer and improve future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hereditary cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting hereditary cancer 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 hereditary cancer 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 hereditary cancer 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.
