Relugolix and enzalutamide for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, in men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread to distant parts of the body. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer before or alongside local therapies like surgery or radiation.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06141031RecruitingPhase 1
TTI-101 plus radiation for borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug (TTI-101) combined with targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with pancreatic cancer that is not removable by surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors that are borderline resectable or locally advanced.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06187597RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab after chemoradiation for older esophageal cancer
This study tests whether adding a drug called toripalimab after standard chemoradiation can help older adults with esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment can keep the cancer from coming back after initial therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 70–85 - NCT06202105Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs open total gastrectomy for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
Bien Hoa, Dong NaiAges 18–80 - NCT06204094RecruitingPhase 2
Preserving the anus with chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for patients with middle or low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the anus, preserving bowel function.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06204991RecruitingPhase 1
T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma
This trial tests a new treatment called ADP-TILIL7 for people with advanced melanoma. It uses your own immune cells (T-cells) that are taken from a tumor, multiplied in a lab, and then given back to you to fight the cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works better than standard options.

Immunotherapy maintenance after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether continuing immunotherapy can help keep cancer from coming back in people with head and neck cancer who had a good response to chemo-immunotherapy before surgery. You would have already had surgery, and now the study tests a maintenance treatment to strengthen your immune system's fight against any remaining cancer cells.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 980 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.
