FOG-001 for advanced solid tumors with certain gene changes
This trial tests a new drug, FOG-001, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in the WNT pathway genes. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.

Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06102057RecruitingPhase 2
PET-guided small volume chemoradiation with immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (durvalumab) for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if giving a smaller, more focused radiation dose can be just as effective with fewer side effects.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT06771193Recruiting
Study of cervical cancer treatment patterns in Italy
This study looks at the types of treatments and disease characteristics in people with cervical cancer that is locally advanced (cannot be removed by surgery) or has come back or spread. It may help doctors understand how different treatments are used in Italy.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06129864RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Volrustomig for advanced head and neck cancer after chemoradiation
This trial tests a new drug called volrustomig (MEDI5752) for people with advanced head and neck cancer that was not removed by surgery and has been treated with chemoradiation. The goal is to see if the drug can help prevent the cancer from coming back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 977 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.
