- NCT06623578Recruiting
Robotic vs. open surgery for thyroid cancer that has spread
This study compares a robotic surgery method using small incisions under the armpit with standard open surgery for papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes on one side of the neck. It aims to see which approach is better for removing cancer and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06630624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IP-001 with ablation for colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests whether adding the drug IP-001 to tumor ablation (microwave or irreversible electroporation) helps control colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to find the best dose and see how the immune system responds.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06646341Recruiting
Can scan findings predict colorectal cancer spread?
This study looks at whether signs of blood vessel involvement (called EMVI) seen on scans can predict if colorectal cancer spreads to other organs. You might join if you already had surgery to remove the cancer from the colon or rectum and any distant tumors, and your before-surgery scans are available for review.
Basingstoke, HampshireAges 16–100 - NCT06647342RecruitingPhase 4
Testing lower bleomycin dose in electrochemotherapy
This trial tests if a lower dose of the drug bleomycin works as well in electrochemotherapy for skin or under-the-skin tumors. The goal is to reduce side effects while still treating cancer effectively.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT06649058RecruitingPhase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT06685887RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, Immunotherapy, and Heated Belly Chemo for Stomach Cancer Spread
This trial tests combining standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy (tirelizumab) with heated chemotherapy given directly into the belly. It aims to treat stomach cancer that has spread to the abdominal lining, and may help shrink or control the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06688071Recruiting
FAPI PET/CT scan for people with cancer
This trial studies a special PET/CT scan called FAPI PET/CT to see how well it can detect or track cancerous tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer without extra procedures.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06690736Recruiting
CXCR4 PET/CT imaging for related conditions
This trial uses a special imaging scan (CXCR4 PET/CT) to help diagnose or evaluate certain diseases linked to a protein called CXCR4. It may offer more detailed information than standard scans.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06690957Recruiting
SSTR PET scan for people with certain tumors
This study uses a special type of PET scan (called SSTR PET/CT) to look at tumors that may have a specific receptor. The scan helps doctors see where these tumors are and how active they are.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06690970Recruiting
PSMA PET/CT scan for people with or suspected to have cancer
This study is looking at how well a special type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA PET/CT) can see cancer in people who have or may have certain tumors. It may help doctors better understand and track the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06700057Recruiting
Study of lutetium treatment for prostate cancer
This study looks at patients treated with a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 for a type of prostate cancer that has spread, stopped responding to hormone therapy, and has been treated with chemotherapy. It checks how the treatment affects the body and the tumor using images.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06119581RecruitingPhase 3
Oloromosib with Immunotherapy as First Treatment for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (olomorasib) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and possibly chemotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation and has not been treated before.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224724Recruiting
Exosome liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer spread
This study uses a blood test to detect if colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver has also spread to other parts of the body. It may help doctors better understand how the cancer is moving and guide treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06788002RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation and chemoimmunotherapy for NPC with liver spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to the liver. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–70 - NCT07304271RecruitingPhase 3
Paclitaxel in the belly plus chemo vs chemo alone for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests whether adding chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal paclitaxel) to standard intravenous chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastasis).
VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07243015Recruiting
Detecting cancer spread risk with blood markers
This trial uses simple blood tests to find tiny bits of cancer that might remain after surgery for stomach cancer. It could help doctors predict if the cancer will come back or spread.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227415RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other cancer treatments, for adults with advanced kidney cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06712745RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized lung cancer radiation therapy study
This trial tests a new approach to radiation therapy for central lung cancers, giving high doses in very short bursts to see if it's safe and effective. It may be an option for people whose tumors are not too large and are in a specific central location.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06725173Recruiting
Retinoblastoma genetics and tumor spread study
This study looks at gene changes in retinoblastoma to understand why some tumors spread outside the eye. It may help find better ways to predict and treat the disease.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Any age - NCT06728878Recruiting
Lymph node spread after total stomach removal for stomach cancer
This study looks at where cancer spreads in the short stomach area after total stomach removal surgery. It aims to understand lymph node and tumor deposits better to help guide future treatment decisions.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06736847Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 342 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.
