Recruiting studies
- NCT06829147Recruiting
AI to diagnose lymph node spread in nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a computer model can accurately detect if cancer has spread to lymph nodes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It uses MRI and PET/CT scans taken before treatment to see if the AI can replace or supplement current methods.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07392567Recruiting
AI predicts liver spread in colorectal cancer
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict if colon or rectal cancer will spread to the liver. You will have a CT scan before surgery, and the AI will analyze the scan to see if it can forecast future liver metastasis.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05098847RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors plus anti-cancer drugs for spread cancer
This trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) liver metastases works better when combined with immunotherapy (sintilimab) and a targeted pill (lenvatinib). It’s for people whose cancer has spread to the liver and has not responded to earlier treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07348965Recruiting
High-dose furmonertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer that spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a new way to give a targeted therapy (furmonertinib) to people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain. It uses a higher, pulsing dose to try to get more medicine into the brain fluid and stop the cancer there.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07349043RecruitingPhase 1
Spray chemotherapy for colon cancer spread in the belly
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy by spraying it into the belly during a minimally invasive surgery. It is for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread inside the belly (peritoneal metastasis) but not to other organs.
Hangzhou, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–75 - NCT06643000Recruiting
High-dose furmonertinib combo for EGFR lung cancer with brain lining spread
This trial tests a strong dose of furmonertinib (a targeted pill) combined with two other drugs, bevacizumab and pemetrexed, for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord. It aims to see if this combination can better control the cancer and improve symptoms.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07272928Recruiting
Comparing surgery order for liver spread from colon cancer
This trial looks at whether removing the colon tumor or the liver tumors first affects recovery in patients having both removed at the same time. It helps doctors decide the best surgical approach.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 18 years+ - NCT07263425RecruitingPhase 2
Study of thiotepa and trastuzumab for breast cancer that spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord
This trial tests a combination of two drugs given through a special port in the head to treat HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the layer covering the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05746754Recruiting
Proton radiation for cancer spread into the covering of the brain
This trial tests proton radiation to treat cancer that has spread into the thin lining around the brain and/or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It may help control disease in that area while aiming to better protect surrounding healthy tissue.
Aarhus, AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06718972Recruiting
Lung cancer with brain lining spread: real-world treatment study
This study looks at how people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord are treated in real-world clinics in China. If you have received treatment for this spread since 2018, you may be able to help doctors learn what works best.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07173868Recruiting
PET scans for advanced breast cancer treatment planning
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (FDG PET-CT) can better track how well treatment is working for people with advanced breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the best therapy and monitor response over time.
Seoul, Gannam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07152782RecruitingPhase 2
T-DXd with or without neratinib for HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases
This trial tests whether adding neratinib to T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) works better than T-DXd alone for women with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is for those who have not had these specific drugs before.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07154563Recruiting
Quick test for breast cancer spread to lymph nodes using a new probe
This trial uses a special probe that lights up cancer cells to quickly check if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide how much surgery is needed.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07150208RecruitingPhase 2
T-DXd with or without Avastin for HER2-low breast cancer that spread to the brain
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (T-DXd and bevacizumab) for people with HER2-low breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to see if adding bevacizumab helps the main drug work better against brain metastases.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07107633RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging test for cancer spread in the abdomen
This trial tests a special imaging injection to see if it can better detect cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen in people with stomach or bowel cancer. If you are scheduled for surgery to remove or explore the cancer, this scan might help your doctor plan the best treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06809517RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new antibody plus chemotherapy for leptomeningeal metastasis
This trial tests a combination treatment for cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It uses an antibody given directly into the spinal fluid along with a chemotherapy drug, with the goal of targeting the cancer more effectively.
Huizhou, GuangdongAges 21–75 - NCT06988852RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy combination given directly into the liver's blood supply (called HAIC) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery yet. The goal is to shrink the liver tumors enough so they can be surgically removed.

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.
