Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06166329Recruiting
Chair lift test for pulmonary embolism prognosis
This study checks if a simple chair lift test can help predict recovery in patients with a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) who are not critically ill. It aims to find out if this test can help doctors decide on the best follow-up care.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT00291096Recruiting
Clinic program for women at high risk of breast cancer
This trial enrolls women who are at higher-than-usual risk of developing breast cancer to help guide prevention and monitoring. You may be asked to get a recent mammogram, have blood tests, and follow medication/supplement changes.
Kansas City, KansasAges 30–65 - NCT05384535Recruiting
Test a special MRI to screen high-risk prostate cancer
This study checks whether a detailed MRI method can help find prostate cancer earlier in people considered high risk. You may be asked to get an MRI and help the team see if it works well as a screening test.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 40–55 - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06520683RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for high-risk stage II colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor (PD-1 blocker) can help lower the risk of cancer returning after surgery. It is for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer (dMMR or MSI-H) that had certain high-risk features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07343349Recruiting
Adding a higher radiation dose to prostate tumors during standard radiotherapy
This trial tests whether giving an extra, focused dose of radiation to the visible tumor inside the prostate can improve results for men with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The total treatment is given in 12 or 20 sessions.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07120087Recruiting
Online program to lower breast cancer risk for high-risk women
This trial tests an online program that teaches women at high risk of breast cancer how to lower their risk. If you were part of the MyPeBS study and found to have high risk, this program might help you take steps to protect your health.
LyonAges 40–74 - NCT07857200Recruiting

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.
