Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05825456Recruiting
Study of surgery for broken bones from metastatic cancer
This trial looks at outcomes after surgery to stabilize a broken bone caused by cancer that has spread (metastatic cancer). It may help by improving how doctors plan and measure results after specific types of bone stabilization surgery.
Ankara, altindagAges Any age - NCT05535413RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
UTD1 plus capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer brain mets
This trial tests whether adding a study drug called UTD1 to capecitabine can shrink or control breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It’s for people with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have brain metastases and meet specific safety and lab requirements.
ChangshaAges 18–70 - NCT05570825RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug SX-682 with pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests SX-682 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to treat metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to see how well the combination works and whether it can shrink or control the cancer in people whose tumors have enough PD-L1.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07478900Recruiting
Tattoo marking breast tumors before chemo
This trial tests a simple method: marking the tumor with a small tattoo before chemotherapy. The tattoo helps surgeons find the exact spot for lumpectomy after the tumor shrinks, so you can keep more of your breast.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–75 - NCT07333066RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemotherapy when first treatment response is limited
This trial tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to your current treatment (apalutamide) can help control prostate cancer that has spread and hasn't responded as well as hoped to apalutamide alone.
BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT06236269RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab Govitecan for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a drug called Sacituzumab Govitecan for people with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has stopped responding to a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It looks at whether the drug can slow down the cancer and requires you to have a tumor biopsy.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07129993RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of datopotamab deruxtecan with chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new drug combination for advanced bladder cancer that has grown despite previous treatment. It pairs a targeted therapy (datopotamab deruxtecan) with chemotherapy, and the goal is to see if it can slow down or stop the cancer better than standard chemo alone.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07772895RecruitingPhase 1

- 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.
