Recruiting studies
- NCT05155033RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04633252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus docetaxel and abiraterone for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new targeted cancer drug (PDS01ADC) combined with standard treatments docetaxel and abiraterone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and whether it can control cancer better than current approaches.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT06324240RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine plus immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor combined with immunotherapy drugs (pembrolizumab or ipilimumab) for triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to help your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.

Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers, combined with the drug pembrolizumab, to help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before.

The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06903312RecruitingPhase 4
Removing the main kidney tumor during immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether removing or burning (ablating) the main kidney tumor helps people with advanced kidney cancer who are already doing well on immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if combining local treatment with ongoing immunotherapy can improve outcomes.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT03647358RecruitingPhase 1
Iodine scan planning for metastatic thyroid cancer treatment
This early-stage study tests how well a special iodine scan (using iodine-124) can help plan treatment with radioactive iodine (iodine-131) for thyroid cancer that has spread. It may help doctors decide the right way to measure and target radioiodine-avid (radioiodine-absorbing) metastases.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07630961RecruitingPhase 1
New PET Imaging Scans for Advanced Solid Tumors
This trial tests two new radioactive imaging scans (called PET scans) designed to better detect certain advanced cancers like pancreatic, lung, breast, colon, or soft-tissue tumors. The goal is to see if these scans help doctors find and track cancer more accurately than standard imaging.
Odense CAges 18 years+ - NCT07510334RecruitingPhase 2
VSV Virus Plus Immunotherapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial tests a combination of a special virus (VSV-IFNβ-NIS) with two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05285358RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol chemo plus standard drugs for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the drug paclitaxel directly into your belly as a mist, along with two standard chemo drugs given through your veins, for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the cancer in the belly.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05673928RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib and T-DM1 for HER2-positive brain-metastasis tumors
This Phase 2 study tests tucatinib plus T-DM1 (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) in people with HER2-positive metastatic solid tumors that have spread to the brain. It aims to shrink brain and body tumors and help control cancer that is progressing in the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06421298RecruitingPhase 2
Tafolecimab and sintilimab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of treatments, including an immune drug (sintilimab) and a cholesterol-lowering drug (tafolecimab), along with chemotherapy, for people with advanced lung cancer that no longer responds to standard immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06203600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nivolumab plus standard treatment for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations, with or without an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab, for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07748988RecruitingPhase 1
Casdatifan for advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding
This study tests a new pill called casdatifan for people with advanced kidney cancer that has not improved after standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and be safe to take.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–100 - NCT05255302RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter immune maintenance for stage IV lung cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether giving immune therapy maintenance for a shorter time helps people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are doing well after initial chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to keep the cancer controlled while possibly reducing treatment exposure and side effects.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–74 - NCT06015932Recruiting
Group stress management for cancer patients
This trial tests whether group therapy sessions can help cancer patients cope with stress. If you're feeling moderately distressed and have been treated for cancer recently, this program might help you manage those feelings.

Carotuximab plus hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called carotuximab given with a standard hormone therapy (apalutamide or enzalutamide) for men with prostate cancer that has stopped responding to current hormone treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can slow the cancer's growth and lower PSA levels.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276386RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for metastatic uveal melanoma
This trial tests a two-part treatment for uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver. First, you get a liver-directed chemotherapy (melphalan) through a special procedure called PHP, then you receive an immunotherapy drug (tebentafusp) that helps your immune system attack the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,864 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.
