Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06597240Recruiting
Home monitoring during chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This study tests whether monitoring your health at home during chemoradiation for esophageal cancer can improve care and outcomes. You'll measure things like temperature and symptoms, and share them with your care team.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06574347RecruitingPhase 2
Two targeted drugs for EGFR-mutated, MET-high lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (vebreltinib and PLB1004) as the first treatment for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has both an EGFR mutation and high MET protein. It may offer a new option for those who haven't had treatment yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06572514RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lower radiation after chemo-immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests if giving less radiation than usual is safe and effective for certain head and neck cancers after initial treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06574620Recruiting
Studying tumor DNA and proteins in pancreatic cancer
This study is looking at genetic material and proteins from pancreatic tumors to understand how the cancer responds to treatment.

- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 970 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.
