It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06698146Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06703944Enrolling by invitation
Predicting neuroblastoma spread risk
This trial uses a risk model to help detect if neuroblastoma has spread to the bone or bone marrow in newly diagnosed patients. It aims to improve how doctors identify metastasis without needing extra special tests.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06690528RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery vs. palliative care for pancreatic cancer with limited liver spread
This trial compares surgery to remove the primary tumor and up to 3 liver spots against standard palliative care for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread only to the liver (up to 3 spots). It is for those whose cancer has not grown after initial chemotherapy and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Padova, ItalyAges 18–75 - NCT06675136RecruitingPhase 1
Nab-paclitaxel PIPAC with paclitaxel and ramucirumab for stomach cancer spread to belly lining
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the belly for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastases). It also combines two standard chemotherapy drugs. The goal is to see if this approach can help people whose cancer progressed after first treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06663306RecruitingPhase 1
Intrathecal pemetrexed and bevacizumab for lung cancer brain spread
This trial tests a treatment given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (intrathecal injection) using two drugs—pemetrexed and bevacizumab—for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to that area (leptomeningeal metastases). It may be an option if your current treatment is no longer working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06651658Recruiting
A trial of pleura embolisation during lung ablation
This study looks at a new procedure called pleural embolisation that may reduce air leaks after lung ablation. It tests whether using this technique during ablation is safe and effective for people with lung lesions.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT06638502RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing HRX215 for liver recovery after surgery
This trial tests a drug called HRX215 to see if it is safe and helps the liver recover after surgery to remove colon cancer tumors that have spread to the liver. It is for people who are having either a minor or major liver resection and have a low risk of liver failure.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06643884RecruitingPhase 2
Study of eye treatment for cancer that has spread to the eye

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 449 recruiting metastases 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 metastases 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 metastases 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.
