Recruiting studies
- NCT07779109Recruiting
Shorter radiation course for endometrial cancer after surgery
This study tests a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy after surgery for endometrial cancer. It aims to see if it is safe and works as well as standard radiation, while possibly reducing treatment time.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 18–110 - NCT07775209Enrolling by invitationPhase 2

This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy given with chemotherapy for people with high-risk anal cancer. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective but causes fewer side effects and is more convenient.
Burlington, VermontAges 18 years+ - NCT07763197Recruiting
Sample collection for bladder cancer research
This study is collecting blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer to help develop better tests for tracking the disease. By participating, you might help improve future monitoring and treatment decisions.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07751159RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing radiation therapy methods for prostate cancer
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to find which approach is more effective and has fewer side effects.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT06559696RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation to internal mammary lymph nodes for high-risk breast cancer after chemo
This trial tests whether giving radiation to the internal mammary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes behind your breastbone) can help women with high-risk breast cancer after they have had chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people whose cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes despite chemotherapy.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07720284RecruitingPhase 3
Testing new drugs for high-risk bladder cancer after surgery
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (Dato-DXd plus rilvegostomig) against standard treatments for people with high-risk, muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has been surgically removed. The goal is to see if the new treatment reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.
Hot Springs, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07711314RecruitingPhase 2
Rezvilutamide after prostate removal for high-risk cancer
This trial tests if a daily pill called Rezvilutamide can prevent prostate cancer from returning in men who had their prostate removed and are at high risk of recurrence. It is for men who cannot or choose not to have radiation therapy.

Vaccine for men with high-risk prostate cancer after surgery
This trial tests a personalized vaccine (FK-PC101) given after prostate removal surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer. It aims to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back without the need for additional hormone therapy or radiation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT07690852Recruiting
Environmental exposures and breast cancer risk study
This study looks at how environmental exposures might affect breast cancer risk. It includes women at average risk, high risk, or those diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50, as well as healthcare providers.

SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533384RecruitingPhase 3
PARP inhibitor or chemo plus immunotherapy after surgery for high-risk TNBC
This trial tests whether adding a PARP inhibitor or capecitabine (chemo) to a PD-1 inhibitor (immunotherapy) after surgery helps prevent triple-negative breast cancer from coming back. It's for people with high-risk disease who have completed initial treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06520683RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for high-risk stage II colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor (PD-1 blocker) can help lower the risk of cancer returning after surgery. It is for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer (dMMR or MSI-H) that had certain high-risk features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07638410Recruiting
Getting fit before major cancer surgery
This trial tests whether special preparation exercises and wellness support before chemotherapy and major abdominal or pelvic surgery can help you recover better and stay stronger. You'll work with a team including exercise specialists and mental health counselors before your operation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07646145RecruitingPhase 2
Disitamab Vedotin Plus Mitomycin C for HER2-Positive Bladder Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two medications—disitamab vedotin (a targeted therapy) and mitomycin C (a chemotherapy)—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific protein called HER2. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back after surgery in people who cannot or will not receive BCG treatment.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07632118RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation and chemotherapy after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy (called the GX regimen) after pancreatic cancer surgery helps prevent cancer from returning in patients with high-risk features. The study aims to see if this combination treatment improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07622836Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus QL1706 for high-risk triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether adding a new immunotherapy drug called QL1706 to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help patients with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination prevents cancer from coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06587789Recruiting
Ribociclib plus hormone therapy for high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests adding ribociclib (a targeted pill) to standard hormone therapy for people with early but high-risk HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, after surgery.

This trial tests a combination of drugs (Surufatinib with carboplatin/paclitaxel) as first treatment for high-risk ovarian cancer, followed by a different combination (Surufatinib with olaparib) to keep the cancer from coming back. It aims to see if these targeted therapies work better than the standard approach.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high-risk cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 396 recruiting high-risk 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 high-risk 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 high-risk 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.
