Safety of second CAR-T re-infusion for hard-to-treat lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether a second re-infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel (CAR-T) is safe in people with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that came back or did not respond after standard second-line CAR-T. It may help some patients by trying to improve disease control while carefully monitoring side effects.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06335420Recruiting
Can carrot juice prevent colon polyps from coming back?
This study tests whether drinking carrot juice every day can lower the chance that large colon polyps or early colon cancers will come back. Researchers want to see if the nutrients in carrot juice help protect the lining of the colon.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06330441Recruiting

AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT06295497Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for non-smokers with a family history
This study tests an artificial intelligence device to screen for lung cancer in people who have never smoked but have a close family member with lung cancer. If you are between 50 and 75 and fit for possible surgery, you may be able to join.
Hong KongAges 50–75 - NCT05116072RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Islet cell transplant plus surgery for high fistula risk
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding an islet (insulin-producing cell) transplant at the time of pancreatic-region surgery is safe and helps prevent a serious surgical complication called a postoperative fistula. It is for people whose surgery is considered high risk for developing that complication.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06287944RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted radiation and chemo before donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new approach: giving a targeted radioactive antibody (attached to a drug that finds CD38 on cancer cells) along with low-dose chemotherapy and targeted radiation to the bone marrow before a donor stem cell transplant. The goal is to prepare the body for the transplant while killing remaining cancer cells more precisely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06282588RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Advanced imaging-guided treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (PSMA PET/CT) and a genetic test (Decipher) to decide the best treatment for high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread outside the pelvis. You'll receive standard radiation and hormone therapy, possibly with an extra drug (darolutamide).
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06257394RecruitingPhase 2
Treating high-risk childhood leukemia in Korea
This trial tests a new treatment plan for children with very high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It aims to improve outcomes for patients whose leukemia has specific genetic markers or has not responded well to initial treatment.
DaeguAges 1–19 - NCT06268405Recruiting
PET scan and blood test for high-risk breast screening
This study tests a new PET scan machine for the breast (positron emission mammography) along with a blood test called a liquid biopsy for women who need a biopsy after a high-risk breast screening. It may help find cancer more accurately and less invasively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06246149RecruitingPhase 3
Tebentafusp after treatment for high-risk eye melanoma

BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06225193Recruiting
Liver test study for early fatty liver detection
This study looks at a blood test called ELF to see if it can find early signs of fatty liver disease in people who are at higher risk. The goal is to help catch the problem sooner so it can be treated.

Monitoring high-risk smoldering myeloma over time
This trial watches people with a high-risk form of smoldering myeloma (an early, inactive stage of bone marrow cancer) to learn more about how it changes. It may help doctors know who needs treatment later.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06228599Recruiting
Targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer with high risk of return
This trial tests if personalized medicines, chosen based on the genetic profile of your tumor, can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people who have had their pancreatic tumor removed but have features that suggest a higher chance of recurrence.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06210490RecruitingPhase 2
Antibody-drug combo with radiation for HER2+ UTUC after surgery
This trial tests a combination of an antibody-drug conjugate (Disitamab Vedotin) plus radiation therapy after surgery to prevent upper tract urothelial cancer from coming back. It is for patients with HER2-positive tumors and high-risk features who cannot receive cisplatin chemo.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06207799RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before and after transplant for high-risk myeloma
This trial tests a two-step approach for people with newly diagnosed, high-risk multiple myeloma who are eligible for a stem cell transplant. You'll get a drug called elranatamab before transplant to 'purge' the cancer, and then after transplant, you'll get maintenance therapy guided by how well your cancer is controlled. The goal is to see if this reduces the chance of the cancer coming back.

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.
