Recruiting studies
- NCT07372261Enrolling by invitation
Predicting breast cancer spread risk
This study tests a method to predict if early-stage breast cancer might spread to other parts of the body. It uses leftover tumor tissue to help doctors plan your treatment.

Freezing liver tumors with immunotherapy and a pill drug
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) plus sintilimab (an immune system medicine) and regorafenib (a pill) can shrink colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for people whose cancer has come back or progressed after at least two prior chemotherapy treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07353294Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Propranolol plus immunotherapy and chemo before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests adding a blood pressure medication (propranolol) to a combination of immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy before surgery for bladder cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this can help shrink the tumor before it is removed.

Can ultrasound help predict lymph node spread in early thyroid cancer?
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound before surgery to see if it can predict whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes in patients with early-stage papillary thyroid cancer. The goal is to improve treatment planning without unnecessary surgery.
Guangdong, GuangzhouAges Any age - NCT07355348Recruiting

This study is testing a program to provide step-by-step cognitive support for adults whose cancer has spread to the brain. It aims to help people think more clearly and manage any memory or attention problems.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07328243Recruiting
New treatment for thyroid cancer that spread to neck lymph nodes
This study tests a minimally invasive treatment called irreversible electroporation for thyroid cancer that has come back or spread to lymph nodes in the neck. It may be an option for people who can't have another surgery or for whom radioactive iodine therapy hasn't worked.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07314073RecruitingPhase 2
A PET scan to find hidden spread in slow-growing breast cancer
This trial is testing a special PET scan (18F-FES PET/CT) to see if it can find distant cancer spread in women with a slow-growing, estrogen receptor-positive, stage III breast cancer. The goal is to find out whether this imaging test can detect hidden metastases better than standard scans.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07310537Recruiting
Liquid biopsy trial for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This study tests whether a simple blood sample from your finger can detect tumor DNA as well as a standard blood draw. It is designed for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and hasn't responded to treatment.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 21 years+ - NCT06567353Recruiting
Heat-based immunotherapy for breast cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a new treatment that uses heat to target liver tumors and boost the immune system. It is for women with breast cancer that has spread to the liver who cannot have or do not want surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07300449RecruitingPhase 2
Predicting chemo response in children with hepatoblastoma
This trial tests a new way to see if chemotherapy will work for children with hepatoblastoma, a type of liver cancer. It uses a blood test (ctDNA 5hmc) to help predict treatment success and monitor if the cancer comes back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 18 years - NCT07304934Recruiting
New blood test model to check lymph node status in breast cancer
This study uses a blood test and imaging to predict whether breast cancer has spread to underarm lymph nodes, helping guide surgery. It may reduce unnecessary lymph node removal.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 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. It tests whether combining a TACE procedure with immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis drugs can improve outcomes. You must not have had prior systemic therapy and must have received TACE in a specific time window around starting these drugs.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07291180Recruiting
Personalized heated chemo for advanced appendix or colon cancer
This study tests a personalized way to deliver heated chemotherapy directly into the belly during surgery for advanced appendix or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if tailoring the chemo drugs to your tumor can improve outcomes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–81 - NCT07294638Recruiting
New imaging method to find cancer spread in early gastric cancer
This trial tests a new dye that helps surgeons see if early gastric cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It might help guide the extent of surgery needed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07290309Recruiting
Remote exercise program for cancer survivors
This study tests a remote guided exercise program for cancer survivors to see if it helps with recovery and well-being. It is designed for people who have finished their main cancer treatments and are not already exercising a lot.
Fort Collins, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07284836RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo directly to liver for breast cancer

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.

Testing a new drug for lung cancer that has spread to the brain or spinal fluid
This trial tests a new drug called BioTTT001 for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the fluid around the brain or the lining of the brain (leptomeninges). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help control the cancer.

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.
