Recruiting studies
- NCT07553780Recruiting

This study uses a simple blood test to detect cancer DNA after surgery for early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to help doctors decide whether chemotherapy is truly needed based on the blood test results, rather than giving it to everyone.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07580196Recruiting
Comparing lymph node removal approaches in aggressive prostate cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery in men with high-risk disease on one side of the prostate. The goal is to determine whether removing lymph nodes from both sides or just one side provides better outcomes.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07591428Recruiting

Safety Study of XH001 Injection for High-Risk Recurrent Solid Tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new injection called XH001 as an additional treatment after surgery for patients with high-risk cancers that have come back. The goal is to check if it's safe and whether it helps prevent the cancer from returning again.
BeijingAges 18–70 - 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.

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.

Personalized vaccine for high-risk endometrial cancer
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique proteins to help your immune system fight high-risk or advanced endometrial cancer. It is given along with your regular cancer treatments.
Thessaloniki, ThessalonikiAges Any age - NCT07508982RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a new drug called APG1252 combined with azacitidine (AZA) for people with high-risk AML or certain related blood cancers. The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07748325RecruitingPhase 2
Checking if immunotherapy after surgery helps prevent lung cancer return
This trial is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who have already had immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, followed by complete removal of the tumor. It tests whether continuing immunotherapy after surgery (adjuvant treatment) can lower the risk of cancer coming back compared to just watching and waiting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT03280511RecruitingPhase 2
After surgery chemo sprayed into the abdomen for high-risk colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether spraying chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small procedure) after colon cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It is meant for people with high-risk tumor features but who have had surgery and have no proven relapse yet.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05037279RecruitingPhase 3
Testing BCG treatment for bladder cancer after full tumor removal
This trial studies a BCG-based bladder instillation in people with newly diagnosed, intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have had their tumor fully removed. The goal is to see whether this treatment is safer and works better to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06822010RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and Mitomycin for High-Risk Upper Tract Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, gemcitabine and mitomycin, given directly into the kidney or ureter through a thin tube. It is for people with a high-risk but non-invasive form of upper urinary tract cancer that has not spread into deeper tissues.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–99 - NCT06923345RecruitingPhase 2
Modified long-course radiation and chemo with immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan involving radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07513376RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant vaccine plus immunotherapy for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a personalized cancer vaccine (Intismeran) with or without an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with early-stage, high-risk non-small cell lung cancer.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06957626Recruiting
Predicting polyp return after removal
This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
BeijingAges 40–75 - NCT06204315RecruitingPhase 2
Spine radiosurgery for spinal cord compression
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04812366RecruitingPhase 2

Darolutamide plus standard hormone therapy for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies how safe darolutamide is and how well it works when added to standard hormone therapy for men with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone treatment. It may help slow prostate cancer growth and reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rises in real-world care.

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.
