Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05045066RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin D treatment study for Black men with prostate cancer
This early-phase study looks at how vitamin D replacement affects the immune system in Black/African American men with prostate cancer. It’s testing whether bringing vitamin D levels into a healthier range changes immune signals that may matter for cancer health.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997068RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib—for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or spread. It is designed for patients in the rural Midwest who have already had or chosen not to have standard first treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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+ - NCT07221474RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a personalized vaccine plus chemo for lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental personalized cancer vaccine (V940) combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine helps the immune system fight the cancer better.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422143RecruitingPhase 3
Keytruda with or without Sac-TMT for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests the combination of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with or without a new drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT), as initial treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if adding Sac-TMT after initial treatment helps keep cancer under control longer.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05473156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07316686RecruitingPhase 1
Study of docetaxel and lutetium-PSMA for first-line treatment of metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (docetaxel) and a targeted radiation therapy (lutetium-PSMA) as a first treatment for men whose prostate cancer has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.

Nivolumab and immune cells in advanced lung cancer
This trial looks at the level of a specific type of immune cell (large granular lymphocytes) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It aims to see if these cells affect how well the drug nivolumab works. This could help doctors understand which patients benefit most from treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,866 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.
