- NCT07505472RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Short radiation plus chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a new approach for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has high-risk features. It combines short-course radiation with chemotherapy (CapeOX) and the immunotherapy drug toripalimab, with or without another drug called surufatinib, before surgery. The goal is to see if adding these drugs helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

Colorectal Cancer Screening for Ages 40-49 with Family History
This trial helps people aged 40-49 who have a parent, sibling, or child with colorectal cancer decide on the best way to get screened. It aims to find the most effective screening method for those at higher risk.
TaipeiAges 40–49 - NCT06664021RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and S-1 for recurrent high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and S-1) for people whose bile duct cancer has come back after surgery and had high-risk features. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05796739Recruiting
Stress testing once or only when needed for high calcium risk
This study compares two approaches to stress testing in people who feel fine but have high coronary artery calcium on a scan. It may help determine whether testing routinely is better than doing it only if symptoms or concerns arise.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06349889RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab with chemo and radiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests adding the immunotherapy drug adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with a high-risk type of nasopharyngeal cancer (stage IVA). The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT07480785Recruiting
Nerve stimulation plus 3 anti-nausea drugs for surgery nausea
This trial tests whether combining a gentle electrical nerve stimulation technique (called TEAS) with three standard anti-nausea medicines can better prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery in women at high risk. If you qualify, you would receive the stimulation plus the medicines, or the medicines alone, to see which works best.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06607276RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant adebrelimab and capecitabine for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial is for people with bile duct cancer who have had surgery to remove all visible cancer but are at high risk of it coming back. It tests whether adding two medications — adebrelimab (an immunotherapy) and capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill) — after surgery can help prevent the cancer from returning.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07475403RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy guided by urine DNA for high risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy approach for people with a very high risk type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The treatment is guided by a special urine test that looks for tumor DNA, and it may help if surgery cannot remove all the cancer or you choose not to have your bladder removed.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07475026RecruitingPhase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and lenvatinib) given before surgery can lower the risk of liver cancer coming back in people with early-stage but high-risk disease.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07474103Recruiting
Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug before surgery for people with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
WuhanAges 18–75 - NCT05601726RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS
This early study tests a new medicine (ABD-3001) to see if it’s safe and tolerable, how the body handles it, and whether it shows early signs of helping people with relapsed or hard-to-treat AML or high-risk MDS. It may be an option if standard treatments have already failed and you can’t receive a stem cell transplant.
Marseille, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07463287Recruiting
Fatty liver and colorectal polyp risk study
This study looks at whether certain gene activity in people with fatty liver disease can predict the risk of developing colorectal polyps. It may help doctors find high-risk patients earlier.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07468474Recruiting
Finding Type 1 Diabetes Risk and Offering Education
This study is designed to help identify and monitor people at high risk for type 1 diabetes. It involves education and regular check-ups to better understand and manage the condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 4 years+ - NCT05410730RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early bladder cancer study using new drugs and BCG
This trial tests whether a new bladder cancer drug (SHR-1501) works alone or combined with BCG, and compares options with another drug (SHR-1316), in people with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help reduce cancer coming back and improve control of the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07455903RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy before surgery for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether giving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) before surgery can improve outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. You will receive a special PSMA PET/CT scan to see how the cancer responds.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07461415Recruiting
Telehealth coaching for high blood pressure
This trial tests whether support from community health workers through phone calls or in-person visits can help people with very high blood pressure manage their condition and avoid complications. It may be a good fit if you had a very high blood pressure reading in the emergency room and are otherwise stable.
Karachi, SindhAges 18 years+ - NCT07460362RecruitingPhase 2
Glofitamab and lenalidomide for high-risk mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, glofitamab and lenalidomide, for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It's for those with high-risk features, like a fast-growing lymphoma or resistance to previous therapies.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high risk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 922 recruiting high risk 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 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 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.
