Selinexor for higher-risk smoldering myeloma
This trial studies selinexor, a medicine taken by mouth, to slow or treat intermediate- or high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma before it becomes symptomatic. It may help some people reduce disease progression, based on how well the treatment controls the abnormal plasma cells.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04903899RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium-DOTATATE for relapsed or hard-to-treat neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 2 trial tests a targeted radioactive medicine called 177Lutetium-DOTATATE in children with high-risk neuroblastoma that has returned or did not respond to treatment. It’s designed for tumors that show strong uptake on special scans, which may help the medicine find and treat cancer cells.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 1.5 years+ - NCT07417397RecruitingPhase 3
TACE after surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a liver-directed treatment called TACE (transarterial chemoembolization) after surgery can help prevent liver cancer from coming back in people with high-risk features.
NanningAges 18–70 - NCT07416344Enrolling by invitation
Heart CT screening for high-risk rural patients
This trial uses a heart CT scan to find people in rural China who are at high risk for heart disease but haven't had a heart attack or stroke yet. The goal is to see if this screening can help guide treatment and prevent future heart problems.
Daqing, HeilongjiangAges 40–75 - NCT07418125Recruiting
Study of tumor cell clusters in high-risk early breast cancer
This trial looks at whether clusters of tumor cells in the blood can give more information about high-risk early breast cancer. It is for people with certain types of breast cancer who are about to start treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy).
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT05557578RecruitingPhase 2
New drug before surgery for resectable bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a “neoadjuvant” (before-surgery) treatment for resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver) that has higher risk of coming back. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before the operation, and to see if patients can safely undergo surgery afterward.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05920863RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, immunotherapy, plus liver artery treatment before surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving lenvatinib and immunotherapy along with TACE (a liver artery treatment) before surgery can lower the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma coming back after surgery. It targets people with certain higher-risk early-stage liver tumors (CNLC IB/IIA).
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06802952Recruiting
Personalized magnetic brain stimulation for early psychosis risk

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.
