Recruiting studies
- NCT06076811Recruiting
Guiding colorectal cancer follow-up with a blood test
This trial uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA remaining after surgery. It aims to see if this test can help guide follow-up and treatment decisions for people with colorectal cancer.
Copenhagen, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05942066Recruiting
Study to standardize blood handling for liquid biopsy
This study checks the best, most consistent way to process whole blood so “liquid biopsy” testing results are reliable. You may help by providing blood samples, as long as you meet the health and consent requirements.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05935384Recruiting
Blood tests to track response to cancer therapy
This study follows how cancer responds to standard (usual) treatment by using blood samples and de-identified health data. It may help researchers understand whether “liquid biopsy” blood testing can reflect how well therapy is working.
Skokie, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05704530Recruiting
Liquid blood tests for early esophageal cancer
This trial studies how well “liquid biopsy” blood tests can work in people with newly diagnosed, operable esophageal cancer. It may help doctors monitor the cancer and guide treatment planning alongside standard care.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05601440RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for metastatic breast cancer that resisted CDK4/6 treatment
This Phase 2 study tests treatments guided by blood testing (“liquid biopsy”) in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after standard CDK4/6 medicine plus hormone therapy. It aims to find a better way to control cancer after the first treatment stops working.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT05346536Recruiting
Test blood test for a specific type of pancreatic cancer cell
This trial looks for pancreatic cancer markers in a blood sample (“liquid biopsy”), focusing on cells that show a certain protein (AXL). It may help doctors detect and better track advanced pancreatic cancer before or during first-line treatment.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05245136Recruiting
Blood test study for advanced cancer monitoring
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tumor DNA in patients with advanced cancer. It aims to see if this test can help doctors monitor the cancer and make better treatment decisions.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04742608Recruiting
Liquid blood tests to diagnose thyroid nodules or cancer
This study tests whether a blood “liquid biopsy” can help diagnose thyroid cancer or hard-to-tell thyroid nodules without needing extra procedures. It may help confirm what’s going on before or around planned thyroid surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04431024Recruiting
Testing imaging and biopsy options for people with BAP1 risk
This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT03869814Recruiting
Blood test to study cancer signals without invasive procedures
This study looks at a non-invasive blood test to detect cancer-related “signal patterns” and see how well they match different types of cancer. It may help researchers learn better ways to find or understand cancer using less invasive testing.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - NCT03702309Recruiting
Banking and testing blood samples to study cancer
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02586389Recruiting
Blood and tumor samples for a liquid biopsy test
This study collects blood and may also use existing tumor tissue to help develop a liquid biopsy blood test for people with solid (non-blood) cancers. You may qualify if you have a current cancer with tumor in the body and can provide blood samples at set visits.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT06249308Recruiting
Liquid biopsy test for early ovarian cancer detection
This study is testing a blood test to see if it can catch ovarian cancer early. You may be eligible if you have been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and haven't started treatment yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–75 - NCT06105177Recruiting
Using blood tests to guide lung cancer care
This trial uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to find tumor DNA in people suspected of having lung cancer. The goal is to learn if this test can help doctors make better treatment decisions without needing a tissue sample.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07749924Recruiting
Watchful waiting vs. bladder chemotherapy for intermediate-risk bladder cancer
This study compares two approaches for people with intermediate-risk bladder cancer whose urine shows no signs of cancer after surgery. One group will be watched closely (active surveillance), while the other will receive chemotherapy directly into the bladder (intravesical chemotherapy). The goal is to see if surveillance alone can prevent unnecessary treatment while keeping the cancer controlled.
DaqingAges 18 years+ - NCT07268833Recruiting
Finding new ALS biomarkers from nerve cells and blood
This study looks for new ways to detect and understand ALS by analyzing tiny nerve and blood markers. It may help find better treatments for ALS and related nerve diseases.
Monserrato, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06930807Recruiting
Blood test for monitoring lung cancer after surgery
This study tests whether a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) can help doctors monitor for cancer returning after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed with surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06416397Recruiting
Bile test for bile duct cancer diagnosis
This trial tests whether a sample of bile (a fluid produced by your liver) can help doctors diagnose bile duct cancer more accurately. If you have a narrowing in your bile duct and need a procedure to take a tissue sample, you may be able to participate.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT05585684Recruiting
Blood test to guide next cancer treatment choices
This study checks whether a blood test can find tumor genetic changes (called “plasma genomic profiling”) to help choose the best next treatment. It may help your care team decide therapy after your cancer progresses or seems likely to progress soon.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06853834Recruiting
Comparing two biopsy methods for suspected sarcoidosis
This trial compares two ways of taking a lung tissue sample (cryo biopsy vs forceps biopsy) in people who may have sarcoidosis. The goal is to see which method is better at diagnosing the condition.
Lucknow, Uttar PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT02530658Recruiting
Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liquid biopsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 118 recruiting liquid biopsy 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 liquid biopsy 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 liquid biopsy 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.
