Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219212RecruitingPhase 1
New drug with chemo and radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests if adding an investigational drug called JNJ-90301900 to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy works better for people with certain advanced head and neck cancers (like mouth, throat, and voice box) that have not spread to other parts of the body.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–74 - NCT06630793Recruiting
Comparing types of radiation for anal cancer
This study compares standard radiation (IMRT) with a newer, more precise type (IMPT) both given alongside chemotherapy for anal cancer. It aims to see which is better at controlling cancer and reducing side effects.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT06718543RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation with AK112 for rectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether combining short-course radiation with an immune therapy drug (AK112) plus chemotherapy before surgery is better than radiation alone for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes without needing stronger treatments later.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 971 recruiting locally advanced 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 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 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.
