- NCT07155954Recruiting
Super-Resolution Ultrasound to Tell Benign from Malignant Lymph Nodes
This study uses a special high-detail ultrasound technique to better tell if lymph nodes are harmless (benign) or cancerous (malignant). It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies or surgeries in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT07146295Recruiting
ICG dye to find sentinel nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT07150715RecruitingPhase 2
Radioactive drug plus precise radiation for recurrent prostate cancer
This trial tests a powerful radioactive drug (either alpha or beta) combined with precise radiation to treat prostate cancer that has come back in a few spots outside the prostate. It may help men whose cancer is still hormone-sensitive and has not spread widely.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06090994RecruitingPhase 4
Huaier vs capecitabine to prevent colon cancer return

Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07139990RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized radiotherapy for lung, brain, sarcoma, or head and neck cancers
This trial tests whether giving personalized radiotherapy alongside standard treatments can better control several types of cancer: small cell lung cancer, brain metastases, soft tissue sarcoma, and head and neck cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps patients live longer without their cancer growing or coming back.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06540443RecruitingPhase 1
Enhanced MRI for staging head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new imaging agent (MPB-2043) that may help doctors see cancer spread to lymph nodes more clearly during an MRI scan. It is for people with head and neck cancer who are planning to have lymph node surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07128355RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Combined immunotherapy and radiation for colorectal cancer

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07112599Recruiting
AI predicts lymph node spread in high-risk prostate cancer
This study uses artificial intelligence to examine MRI and other health data to better predict if high-risk prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Researchers hope this will help guide treatment decisions.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 50 years+ - NCT07098806RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of radioactive nanoparticles for cancer in the spinal fluid
This trial tests a radioactive nanoparticle drug given directly into the fluid around the brain and spine to treat cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastases). It aims to see if this targeted treatment is safe and might help shrink or control the cancer.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06165419RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose radiation for spine metastases from solid tumors
This trial tests a new way of giving high-dose radiation to solid tumors that have spread to the spine. It is for people whose spine is stable, have not had prior treatment to that area, and have only minor weakness (if any).
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07092202RecruitingPhase 4
Firmonertinib and spinal injection for EGFR lung cancer with spread to brain lining
This trial tests combining a targeted pill (firmonertinib) with medication injected into the fluid around the spine for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain. It may offer a new option if you have already tried other EGFR drugs and are still having progression.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06972628RecruitingPhase 2
177Lu-PSMA-617 for advanced prostate cancer with bone spread
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+ - NCT06358222Recruiting
Lung cancer trial testing blood test and PET scan for spread
This trial studies if a blood test that looks for tumor DNA combined with a PET-CT scan can better predict if lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07056010Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for advanced stomach cancer after chemoimmunotherapy
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the main blood vessels (para-aortic area). The surgery is done after a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.

Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07044362Recruiting
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.

This trial tests two different injection methods in the cervix to help map lymph nodes for endometrial cancer. The goal is to find which technique works better for staging, using a dye that helps surgeons see the lymph nodes during surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - 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

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.
