Chemotherapy through liver artery for colorectal cancer that spread to liver
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to shrink the tumors and make the liver healthy enough for surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07751536Recruiting
Proton radiation and intrathecal chemo for lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a combination of proton radiation to the brain and spine plus chemotherapy given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the lining of the brain and has continued to grow despite taking a third-generation TKI medicine like osimertinib.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06597526Recruiting
PET/CT scanning to guide treatment for stomach cancer with abdominal spread
This trial uses two types of PET/CT scans (FDG and FAPI) to see how well chemotherapy or other treatments work before surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to find the best way to measure treatment response and help guide your care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07686016Recruiting
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial studies the use of radiation to the prostate and to all visible spots where cancer has spread, in men who have up to 10 small areas of spread when first diagnosed. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07655583RecruitingPhase 1
Skipping radiation after brain surgery
This study is for people with melanoma or lung cancer that has spread to the brain and who have had surgery to remove the brain tumor. It looks at whether it is safe to skip the usual radiation treatment after surgery, while taking a targeted drug therapy that is known to be effective in the brain.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 336 recruiting metastasis 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 metastasis 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 metastasis 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.
