Laser surgery or surgery plus second radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial is testing whether a second, precise dose of radiation to the brain, after a tumor has been removed or treated with a laser, can help people with recurrent brain metastases. It's for patients whose brain tumors have come back after prior radiation therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07044557Recruiting
Avoiding dexamethasone in brain metastasis surgery
This trial tests whether skipping the steroid dexamethasone around brain tumor surgery is safe and effective for patients with brain metastases. If you have a new brain tumor and a mass elsewhere in your body, you may be able to join.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06992973Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for large brain metastases
This trial tests a new approach for people with a single large brain tumor that has spread from another cancer. You would receive a short, focused dose of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) in small, separate treatments, followed by surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07028268RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for bone metastases from solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-2017 for people with solid tumors that have spread to the bones. The study aims to see if the drug can help manage pain and other effects of bone metastases.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07021534RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK and CAR-T cells for cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a new treatment that uses special immune cells (CAR-NK and CAR-T cells) given directly into the liver artery, then through a vein, to fight advanced solid tumors that have spread to the liver. It is for people who have already tried standard treatments and need new options.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06987370Recruiting

Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT05775146RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation to liver metastases after colon cancer treatment
This trial studies giving targeted high-dose radiation (SBRT) to liver metastases from colorectal cancer after initial treatment, with the goal of improving long-term control or cure. It may help people who have a limited number of liver spots that doctors think can be treated safely and effectively.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06887088RecruitingPhase 2
Study of encorafenib, binimetinib, cemiplimab, and fianlimab for melanoma with brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of targeted drugs (encorafenib and binimetinib) followed by immunotherapy (cemiplimab and fianlimab) for people with advanced melanoma that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and help control the disease.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT06848842RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab and chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed right away. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumors enough to allow surgery or other treatments.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06822543RecruitingPhase 2
A new treatment for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in the brain and elsewhere.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT06805396RecruitingPhase 2
Adding palliative care support during radiation for bone cancer pain
This study tests whether adding a palliative care team early while you receive radiation for bone metastases can improve your quality of life and reduce symptoms.
AmersfoortAges Any age - NCT06794086RecruitingPhase 3
SBRT and immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial combines targeted radiation (SBRT) with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be removed by surgery. It aims to help shrink or control tumors in patients whose cancer has a normal DNA repair system (pMMR/MSS).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06787183RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation with chemoimmunotherapy for rectal cancer that has spread to the liver
This trial tests whether combining short-course radiation with a chemotherapy regimen (CAPOX) and an immunotherapy drug (QL1706) can help treat rectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is designed for patients who have not had any prior cancer treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 450 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.
