Robot surgery plus heated chemo for limited spread stomach cancer
This study tests a “robot-assisted” surgery to remove stomach cancer in the belly lining (peritoneum) along with heated chemotherapy placed inside the abdomen. It’s for people whose cancer has spread only in the peritoneum, aiming to control disease when there’s a good chance of removing it all.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT04375384RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab after immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether giving cetuximab after prior immunotherapy can help people with head and neck squamous cell cancer shrink tumors or slow their growth. You may be eligible if you’ve already had a PD-1–based immunotherapy treatment, and you meet health and safety requirements.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT01891318RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study radiosurgery plus surgery for brain metastases
This trial tests giving focused radiation (radiosurgery) before surgery for certain resectable brain metastases. It may help shrink or control tumors in the brain before they are surgically removed.

Study two targeted drugs for solid tumors with DNA repair changes
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective two anti-cancer drugs (peposertib and tuvusertib) are for advanced solid tumors. It focuses on cancers with specific DNA repair and cell-growth gene changes, aiming to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard treatments have stopped working.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05026983RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drugs for melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 trial tests two targeted medicines (binimetinib and encorafenib) for melanoma that has spread to the brain. It focuses on people whose tumor has a specific BRAF V600 mutation and who have brain metastases that are progressing or need treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06321939Recruiting
Tracking EBV DNA in Blood for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial studies whether tracking levels of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in your blood can help guide treatment for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. You would get standard radiation and maybe chemotherapy, with extra blood tests to see how the virus levels change.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07398599Recruiting
Double-dose targeted therapy plus chemo for lung cancer spread to brain lining
This trial tests a stronger dose of an EGFR-targeted drug combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy into the spinal fluid for patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and is no longer responding to standard treatment.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–99 - NCT06846996Recruiting
Study of trastuzumab deruxtecan for advanced stomach cancer
This study looks at how well the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) works and how safe it is in people with advanced HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer in China. It may be an option if you have already had other treatments.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06796543Recruiting
Radiation for young patients with sarcoma that has spread
This trial tests whether targeted radiation can help children and young adults with sarcoma that has spread to a few spots in the body. It's for those who are newly diagnosed (Stratum A) or whose sarcoma has come back or worsened (Stratum B).
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 39 years - NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations
This Phase 2 study tests amivantamab (an antibody medicine) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer when standard curative treatments aren’t possible.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02821013RecruitingPhase 3
Testing how long to take PD-1 therapy for melanoma
This trial studies whether people with metastatic melanoma should take PD-1 immunotherapy continuously or only for a limited time. It aims to find a schedule that keeps the cancer under control while possibly reducing treatment burden.
Victoria, MilduraAges 18 years+ - NCT02754544Recruiting
Brain mapping during tumor surgery while you are awake
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01804634RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-intensity stem cell transplant for high-risk solid tumors
This trial tests a less intense type of bone marrow (stem cell) transplant from a partly matched family donor for people with high-risk solid tumors. It aims to lower treatment intensity while still using the donor’s immune system to help control the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–50 - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059678Recruiting

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04693468RecruitingPhase 1
Testing three combinations for advanced solid tumors with gene defects
This Phase 1 trial tests whether adding specific medicines (talazoparib plus another drug) can help people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have certain gene or tumor marker changes. It also aims to find safer, workable doses and see how well these combinations work in different tumor groups.

Early PET scan for head and neck cancer on immunotherapy
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan early in treatment to see if first-line immunotherapy is working for people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. It aims to learn if early response can predict outcomes and help guide care.
Rome, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07264816RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BL-M07D1 and Pembrolizumab for HER2+ Lung Cancer
This study tests a new drug combination, BL-M07D1 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy), for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer that has high levels of HER2 protein.

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.
