The goal is to make the cancer surgically removable or to control it for as long as possible.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05253651RecruitingPhase 3
Tucatinib plus trastuzumab with chemo for HER2+ metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding tucatinib and trastuzumab to standard chemotherapy works better than standard treatment alone for people with HER2-positive metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It aims to improve how long people live and how well tumors respond as first treatment for advanced disease.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02896335RecruitingPhase 2
Palbociclib and pembrolizumab for brain metastases
This study tests two drugs, palbociclib and pembrolizumab, for people whose solid tumors (like breast cancer or melanoma) have spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the growth of brain tumors that are progressing despite prior treatment.

- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,084 recruiting locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors 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 locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors 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 (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors 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.
