Recruiting studies
- NCT06756334RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing Two PET/CT Scans for Prostate Cancer
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT06787014Recruiting
Surgery vs. no surgery for small intestinal NET with spread
This study looks at whether removing the main tumor in the small intestine (along with standard treatment) helps people with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors that have spread and cannot be cured. It compares this approach to treatment without surgery.
BernAges Any age - NCT06793332RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab and Trodelvy for breast cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests two drugs (Ivonescimab and a Trop2 ADC) for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to see if this combination can shrink brain tumors and help patients live longer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06840418Recruiting
New imaging to find cancer spread in cervical cancer surgery
This study tests a new imaging technique (NIRFI with ICG dye) to help surgeons see if cervical cancer has spread to lymph nodes during your hysterectomy surgery. It may help guide more precise removal of affected nodes.

Koto-ku, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT06876753Recruiting
Advanced liver cancer: TACE with immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis
This trial is for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has spread outside the liver.

21-gene testing for older breast cancer patients with lymph node spread
This trial looks at using a 21-gene test to guide treatment decisions for women aged 65 or older who have breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this test can help avoid unnecessary chemotherapy in this group.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65 years+ - NCT06901817RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pemetrexed plus nivolumab for lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, pemetrexed and nivolumab, given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell) that has spread to the lining of the brain and has not responded to other treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06912087RecruitingPhase 1
Finding the right dose of a new combo for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new three-drug combination for advanced head and neck cancer that cannot be cured by local treatments. It aims to find the best dose of a targeted therapy called Zanzalintinib when given with two standard immunotherapy and targeted drugs.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06929013Recruiting
Blood marker study for colorectal cancer spread to belly
This study looks at how certain blood markers (nucleosome and CTCF) clear from the body in people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. It also includes people with other conditions to compare. The goal is to learn more about these markers to help guide treatment.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT06933199Recruiting
Focused radiation before brain tumor surgery
This study tests giving a single, precise dose of radiation to a brain metastasis just before surgery, to see if it helps control the tumor better without extra side effects. It’s for people who are already planning surgery for a medium-to-large brain tumor that started from another cancer.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06934018Recruiting
Surgical margin width for liver-only colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests whether a wider surgical margin (at least 7mm) during liver surgery improves survival and reduces cancer return in patients whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but not elsewhere. It aims to remove all visible liver tumors with a safe margin.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06935305Recruiting
Testing a faster method to find cancer in sentinel lymph nodes
This trial compares a fast lab test (OSNA) with standard microscope checks to see which better finds cancer in the first lymph node (sentinel node) during surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It aims to improve accuracy and speed while avoiding unnecessary lymph node removal.
Rome, ItalyAges Any age - NCT06945978Recruiting
Testing a blood test to predict treatment response in advanced pancreatic cancer
This study looks at a special blood test (miRNA panel) to see if it can help predict how well treatment works for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. If you are starting FOLFIRINOX for the first time, you may be able to join.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06957691RecruitingPhase 2
Fezolinetant for hot flashes in men on hormone therapy
This study tests whether a medication called fezolinetant can reduce hot flashes in men with prostate cancer caused by hormone therapy (ADT). If you have frequent, bothersome hot flashes, this treatment may help.

This trial tests a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 to see if it can help men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to the bones in a specific pattern (superscan). It's for patients who have already tried hormone therapy and have PSMA-positive tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07001592RecruitingPhase 1

This trial tests a modified virus injected directly into tumors to treat metastatic gastrointestinal and peritoneal cancers. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–69 - NCT07025785Recruiting
Testing for tumor DNA in blood after early-stage breast cancer surgery
This study looks for tiny bits of tumor DNA in your blood after surgery to see if it can help guide future treatment. It's for people who had surgery first (not chemotherapy before surgery) and have not seen the cancer spread.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07030569Recruiting
Predicting treatment response in metastatic breast cancer

GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07040657Recruiting
Comparing injection techniques for cervical lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer

Histotripsy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding histotripsy—a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that destroys liver tumors—to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may be an option if your cancer is mainly in the liver and you are starting or have recently had chemotherapy.

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.
