BolognaAges 14 years+ - NCT06240689RecruitingPhase 2
Immune maintenance therapy after chemoradiotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immune checkpoint inhibitor (a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer) as maintenance therapy after chemoradiotherapy improves outcomes for people with locally advanced head and neck cancer. It specifically looks at a marker in your blood (CD8Tex cells) to see if you might benefit.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05797831RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Maintenance treatment for TP53-wildtype endometrial cancer
This trial tests navtemadlin as a maintenance (ongoing) treatment to help prevent endometrial cancer from coming back after chemotherapy works. It is mainly for people whose cancer has certain genetic features (TP53 “wildtype”) and who had a strong response to first-line taxane–platinum chemo.
Vallejo, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06475209RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus apatinib for SCLC maintenance
This study tests a new maintenance therapy (adebrelimab plus apatinib) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have already responded to initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to help keep the cancer from coming back longer.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT07783022Recruiting
Real-world study of niraparib for ovarian cancer after initial treatment
This study looks at how well niraparib works as maintenance therapy for women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have already responded to initial chemotherapy. It aims to gather real-world data on the treatment's effectiveness and safety.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07705243RecruitingPhase 3
Maintenance therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (becotatug vedotin and an anti-PD1 immunotherapy) as maintenance treatment after initial chemotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread or returned. It's for people whose disease has not progressed after standard first-line treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07677878RecruitingPhase 1
Blinatumomab and low-dose DLI after transplant for B-ALL
This trial tests adding a drug called blinatumomab plus a low-dose donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) as maintenance therapy after stem cell transplant for people with high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It aims to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for maintenance therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 117 recruiting maintenance therapy 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 maintenance therapy 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 maintenance therapy 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.
