Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07393282RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two treatments for high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug called linvoseltamab against an existing treatment, daratumumab, for people with a high-risk form of smoldering multiple myeloma. The goal is to see which one works better to delay or prevent the disease from becoming active multiple myeloma.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07483970RecruitingPhase 1
JL19001 alone or with BCG for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called JL19001, given alone or with BCG (a standard bladder cancer treatment), for people with high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the bladder muscle. The goal is to see if it can help prevent the cancer from coming back or getting worse.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05865652Recruiting
7T brain scan study for teens at risk of psychosis
This trial tests how the brain’s cell membranes and energy use look in teens who are at high risk of developing psychosis. It compares them with healthy teens to better understand early brain changes that might help future care.
PoitiersAges 15–25 - NCT05877573Recruiting
Toripalimab with chemo-radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy drug) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery can improve outcomes for people with higher-risk, locally advanced rectal cancer. It is meant for cancers that are mismatch-repair “MSS/pMMR,” and it checks safety plus effectiveness as a first treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high risk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 923 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.
