JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT03740256RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted oncolytic virus plus custom immune cells for solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan that combines a virus designed to attack cancer with your own custom immune cells that target HER2. It aims to shrink advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (and make future options safer/more effective).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05058651RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced neuroendocrine cancer outside the lung
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (a rare and aggressive cancer) that started outside the lung. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04158843Recruiting
Local surgery vs comfort treatment for limited breast cancer spread
This trial compares a more direct local treatment (targeting a small, limited spot) versus a comfort-focused palliative approach for breast cancer that has spread only to one side of the upper arm bone or breastbone area. It aims to see which approach works better while keeping side effects manageable.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04481932RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab with chemo for HER2-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding trastuzumab (a targeted antibody) given with chemo and extra drugs can better treat certain HER2-positive, locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancers. It may help by improving cancer control in people who have not had prior anti-cancer treatment for their breast cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04646759RecruitingPhase 3
Fulvestrant or capecitabine plus pyrotinib for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests adding pyrotinib to standard hormone-based treatments (fulvestrant or capecitabine) to slow or control metastatic breast cancer. It’s for tumors that are hormone-receptor positive and HER2 positive, where standard options have been used before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04019678Recruiting
Breast cancer study after chemotherapy with small underarm node spread
This study looks at whether it’s safe and effective to avoid removing many underarm lymph nodes in some people who, after chemotherapy, still seem to have only tiny (“micro”) cancer deposits in the sentinel lymph node. It may help reduce treatment side effects while keeping cancer control.
Rozzano, MIAges 18–75 - NCT04908566RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before and after gastric surgery
This trial studies whether adding a PD-1 immune therapy to chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus junction cancer. It aims to better control the cancer before and reduce the chance it comes back after surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04192253RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin and paclitaxel before surgery for vulvar cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) before surgery for certain cases of squamous cell vulvar cancer. It may help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05851014RecruitingPhase 3
GB491 plus letrozole for HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether GB491 used together with letrozole works better for hormone receptor–positive and HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. You may be eligible if you have not had certain prior cancer treatments and your health tests are within safe limits.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05795335Recruiting
Testing CDK4/6 medicines for advanced hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies how CDK4/6 medicines fit into treatment for people with advanced hormone receptor–positive breast cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It may help doctors understand the best way to use these medicines for disease that has returned or spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04020575RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells made from your blood for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests CAR T cells made from your own immune cells to target advanced breast cancer. The cells are designed to recognize a specific cancer marker (called MUC1*), with the goal of shrinking tumors or keeping them under control.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06120387Recruiting
Radiation after kidney-sparing surgery for high-risk ureteral cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy after surgery that removes only part of the ureter or the entire kidney and ureter helps prevent cancer from coming back in patients who have high-risk features like aggressive cell type or deep tumor invasion.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06218810RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced MSS, RAS-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three medicines for people with a certain type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if adding an immunotherapy drug (Cadonilimab) to standard chemotherapy and a targeted therapy (Bevacizumab) can help shrink tumors and delay disease progression.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07863999RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy before surgery for stage II-III lung cancer
This trial compares two different drug combinations given before surgery for stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Both combinations include chemotherapy, and one also includes a newer type of immunotherapy. The goal is to see which approach shrinks tumors more effectively before surgery.

Testing adebrelimab, dalpiciclib, and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with a targeted pill (dalpiciclib) and standard hormone therapy for women with advanced hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. It may help patients who have not yet had certain prior treatments, aiming to slow the cancer's growth.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05228431RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatment plan for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at a modified “sandwich” treatment sequence for people with locally advanced rectal cancer—aiming to control the cancer before and after surgery. It may help you if you’re eligible and can follow the study’s treatment and safety requirements.

- How do I know if I qualify for a locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer 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 locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer 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.
