Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06151223Recruiting

Relugolix and enzalutamide for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, in men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread to distant parts of the body. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer before or alongside local therapies like surgery or radiation.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06151158Recruiting
Preventing suicide in high-risk youth after a crisis visit
This study tests a program to help teens and young adults who have had thoughts of suicide or made an attempt. The program provides extra support after they leave the hospital or treatment program to help keep them safe.

Ultrasound-guided clot-dissolving treatment for intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism
This trial tests a treatment that uses ultrasound to guide a thin tube (catheter) to deliver clot-busting medicine directly into the blood clot in your lung. It may be an option for people whose clot is serious but not yet causing shock, and who have symptoms that started within the last two weeks.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06122896RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Screening for pancreatic cancer in high-risk people
This trial uses MRI and endoscopic ultrasound to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who have a high risk due to their genes or family history. Finding it early may lead to better treatment options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06104592RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before CAR T-cell therapy for high-risk large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests if giving radiation to all visible tumor sites before standard CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma. You may be eligible if you have at least one large tumor (5 cm or bigger) that can be targeted with radiation.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02605421RecruitingPhase 2
High-risk neuroblastoma stem cell treatment after initial response
This Phase 2 study tests intensive treatment (high-dose “consolidation”) followed by rescue with your own stem cells for high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help patients keep the cancer from coming back after it has improved or stabilized from initial chemotherapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06085664RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy before prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (REGN5678) given before surgery to men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer before the prostate is removed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06100237RecruitingPhase 2
Teclistamab and daratumumab for high-risk smoldering myeloma
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (teclistamab and daratumumab) for people with high-risk smoldering myeloma to see if the combination can stop or delay progression to active multiple myeloma. It's a new approach for those whose smoldering myeloma has a higher chance of becoming active.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06093061RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—tislelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and capecitabine (a chemo pill taken daily)—as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can lower the chance of cancer coming back.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT04861103RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a blood thinner plan during pregnancy
This study looks at how people’s blood and clotting behave during pregnancy when taking a specific blood thinner called low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) three times a day. It may help doctors fine-tune how safely and effectively LMWH is used during pregnancy.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06056830RecruitingPhase 3
PET scan for high-risk prostate cancer before surgery
This trial uses a special PET scan to find prostate cancer cells before surgery. It may help doctors see where the cancer is located and if it has spread.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06079671RecruitingPhase 3
Volrustomig for high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests a new medicine called volrustomig for women with locally advanced cervical cancer that has not spread. It is given along with standard chemoradiation and aims to improve outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 15 years+ - NCT06057948RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine with beta-glucan for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests a vaccine combined with beta-glucan, a natural immune booster, to help keep high-risk neuroblastoma from coming back. It is for patients who have finished standard treatment and achieved complete remission.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT05078970Recruiting
Teen suicide intervention study for high-risk times
This study tests a suicide intervention approach for teens who are having suicidal thoughts or behaviors and are currently in an emergency or hospital setting. It may help you and your care team better support teens during the most risky period.
Columbus, OhioAges 11–17 - NCT06047977RecruitingPhase 1
Immune cell therapy for high-risk solid tumors in children and young adults
This trial uses a patient's own tumor-fighting immune cells (TILs) to treat high-risk solid tumors outside the brain in children and young adults. It has two parts: first, a tumor sample is collected during surgery, and then the immune cells are grown in a lab and given back to the patient to attack the cancer.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 1–21 - NCT06036446Recruiting
Late cerclage for preventing early birth in high-risk pregnancies
This trial tests if placing a stitch in the cervix (cerclage) between 24 and 27 weeks of pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women whose cervix is short. It may be an option for those who find out late in pregnancy that they are at risk.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT06044857RecruitingPhase 1
PSMA PET-guided radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for high-risk prostate cancer. Doctors will use a special PET scan (PSMA PET) to find the main tumor inside the prostate and give it a stronger dose of radiation, along with standard hormone therapy. This approach might improve outcomes for patients with aggressive disease.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT06037980RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether receiving chemotherapy (cisplatin, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk bile duct or gallbladder cancer. It compares this approach to going straight to surgery.
AnconaAges 18–75 - NCT06013423RecruitingPhase 2
Cord blood transplant with chemo and radiation for high-risk blood cancers
This trial tests a cord blood transplant after a reduced-intensity chemotherapy and radiation regimen for patients with high-risk blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, or MDS. The goal is to see if this approach can help destroy cancer cells and restore healthy blood cells.

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.
