BernAges Any age - NCT06770855Recruiting
Focused treatment for kidney cancer that has responded to immunotherapy
This trial tests whether giving focused treatment (surgery or radiation) to all remaining cancer spots after immunotherapy can improve outcomes in kidney cancer. It's for people whose cancer has responded well to at least 6 months of immunotherapy and has only a few remaining spots.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06768463Recruiting
Stomach cancer surgery after chemo for limited spread
This trial tests if surgery to remove the stomach and some tumors, after a few months of chemo, helps people whose stomach cancer has spread to only a few nearby spots (like the lining of the belly, liver, or lymph nodes) live longer compared to chemo alone.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi MinhAges 18–75 - NCT06753136Recruiting
Electrochemotherapy for internal organ tumors
This trial tests a treatment called electrochemotherapy for tumors in internal organs (like the liver or pancreas) when standard treatments are no longer possible. It uses a drug called bleomycin plus electric pulses to target cancer cells.
PadovaAges 18–99 - NCT06200831Recruiting
Same surgery or two surgeries for colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial compares having one surgery to remove both the colon tumor and liver tumors at the same time versus having two separate surgeries. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT03416959Recruiting
Register study for surgery patients with long-bone bone metastases
This trial collects and follows information about people who had surgery to treat cancer that spread to their long bones (like the femur or humerus) to prevent or fix a broken bone. It may help doctors better understand outcomes after these surgeries and improve future care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Any age - NCT06462963Recruiting
Single vs multiple radiation doses for cancer spread
This trial compares a single, strong dose of radiation to multiple smaller doses for treating cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see which approach causes fewer side effects.
AalstAges 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
Lymph node spread in stomach cancer surgery
This trial looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT06727032Enrolling by invitation
Ai detection of brain metastases on MRI
This trial tests an artificial intelligence tool that automatically spots cancer spread to the brain on MRI scans. It may help doctors find brain metastases faster and more accurately for people with cancer outside the brain.
AmsterdamAges 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 - NCT06716294Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation and stabilization for spine tumors
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat to destroy active spine tumors from cancer that has spread, followed by stabilizing the bone. It aims to see if the treatment works by using a special scan (PET-CT) to confirm the results.
Athens, AthensAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT04833335Recruiting
MRI scans to tell tumor spread from radiation injury
This trial studies how a special MRI can help doctors tell whether brain lesions after Gamma Knife treatment are growing tumors or radiation injury. It may help you avoid unnecessary treatment if the findings suggest radionecrosis instead of progression.
ParisAges 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 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.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - 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.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06671418Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Stenting vs drainage for blocked bile ducts from cancer
This study compares two ways to open blocked bile ducts near the liver due to cancer that cannot be removed. One method uses a stent placed through the skin (percutaneous stenting), and the other uses a tube placed through a scope (endoscopic drainage). The goal is to see which approach works better for relieving jaundice and improving quality of life.
RotterdamAges Any age - NCT06661122Recruiting
Darolutamide with ADT and docetaxel for low-volume metastatic prostate cancer
This study looks at how safe and effective the combination of darolutamide (a tablet), hormone therapy (ADT), and chemotherapy (docetaxel) is for Japanese men with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way (low volume). It observes people in regular medical care, not in a research setting.
Multiple LocationsAges 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 338 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.
