Low-dose radiation with chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk colon cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk colon cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07307560Recruiting
High-flow oxygen during sedation for sleep apnea patients having endoscopy
This study tests if high-flow nasal oxygen can prevent oxygen drops during sedated endoscopy in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people who are at higher risk of breathing problems during the procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07322263RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and docetaxel for bladder cancer that returned after BCG
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) given directly into the bladder to treat high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back or not responded to BCG therapy. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT07325721RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation with a focused boost for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy with an extra 'boost' to the most aggressive part of the tumor, combined with hormone therapy, for men with high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer that has not spread outside the pelvis.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07343349Recruiting
Adding a higher radiation dose to prostate tumors during standard radiotherapy
This trial tests whether giving an extra, focused dose of radiation to the visible tumor inside the prostate can improve results for men with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The total treatment is given in 12 or 20 sessions.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07549399RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high-risk cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 391 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.
