Biopsies and FOLFIRINOX for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at different types (subtypes) of pancreatic tumors in people treated with FOLFIRINOX, a chemotherapy. It requires tumor biopsies before and after treatment to see how the tumor changes, which may help doctors better match treatments in the future.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT07066657RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MRG007 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MRG007 for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments. The drug targets a protein called CDH17 on cancer cells; you need a tumor sample to check for it.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05427487RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a medicine injected into tumors for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests IVX037, a medicine given directly into a solid tumor, to see if it is safe and may shrink tumors. It is for people with certain advanced colorectal, stomach/gastroesophageal, or ovarian cancers that have limited treatment options.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–85 - NCT06479239RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (EGFRBi armed PBMC) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer after you've already tried at least one type of chemotherapy and your disease is stable or better.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07202364RecruitingPhase 2
Study of YL202 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called YL202 for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, colon, or cervical cancer) who have already tried 1-2 standard treatments. It aims to see if YL202 can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06741085RecruitingPhase 2
Radiosurgery plus standard care for lung cancer spread to brain
This trial tests if adding stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) to standard drug therapy is safe and effective for people with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve control of brain metastases while continuing targeted therapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new oral drug called opevesostat against another standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by a first hormone therapy. It's for men who have not had chemotherapy for this stage and who have not used a PARP inhibitor or chose not to.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03608631RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exosome treatment for KRAS-mutated metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests an investigational treatment made from “exosomes” for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has a specific KRAS mutation (KRAS G12D). It aims to see if this treatment can control the cancer and is safe for patients whose cancer has grown or stayed the same after prior chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,883 recruiting metastatic cancer 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 metastatic cancer 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 metastatic cancer 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.
