Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03911388RecruitingPhase 1
HSV G207 for Children with Recurrent Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This trial is testing a virus called HSV G207, which is injected directly into the tumor, to treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor in the cerebellum that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–22 - NCT05111561RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a two-drug combo for RAS-mutant or triple negative breast cancer
This study tests a combination of two new drugs, ZEN003694 and binimetinib, for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain gene changes (like RAS mutations) or triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04475640Recruiting
Genetic testing study for cancer patients in different ethnic groups
This study looks at cancer-related inherited gene changes using blood samples. It may help patients and doctors understand cancer risk and guide treatment planning, especially across different ethnic communities.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT05188859RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sintilimab, anlotinib, and chemo for pleural mesothelioma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding three medicines—sintilimab, anlotinib, and standard platinum chemo—can control malignant pleural mesothelioma that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression, but you must meet specific health and prior-treatment requirements.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for malignancy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,585 recruiting malignancy 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 malignancy 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 malignancy 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.
