Testing RSC-1255 in advanced cancers with RAS changes
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new drug, RSC-1255, in people with advanced or metastatic cancers that have RAS mutations. It’s mainly focused on whether the treatment can be given safely and at what dose, and to see if it may shrink tumors.

Combination treatment for HER2-positive cancers and resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, DS-8201a and olaparib, for people with cancers that have a protein called HER2, and for those with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04588922RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug SLS009 for high-risk leukemia in adults and teens
This early-phase study tests SLS009 (also called GFH009), a targeted medicine, to treat certain blood cancers—especially high-risk or difficult-to-treat AML. It’s designed to see how the drug works, how safe it is, and what dose may be best for you.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT04546945Recruiting
Test for CD56 in newly diagnosed blood cancers
This trial looks at a marker called CD56 in people who have been newly diagnosed with a blood cancer (a hematologic malignancy). The results may help doctors better understand the disease and guide future treatment choices.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT04547777RecruitingPhase 1
Early Phase brain tumor treatment with implanted device and injections
This Phase 1 study tests a new brain-tumor treatment in people with recurrent (coming back) high-grade glioma (brain cancer). The study uses injected medicine along with an implanted tumor device and aims to find whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04466059Recruiting
AI tool for leukemia diagnosis using blood or marrow samples
This study tests whether an AI (computer system) can help improve leukemia and related blood cancer diagnoses. You may be able to help if your doctor is already evaluating you for a possible blood disorder and your sample is high enough quality for testing.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for malignancy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,543 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.
