This trial tests a new drug called AD1208 for people with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help where other options no longer work or are not suitable.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07448727Recruiting
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+ - NCT04988009Recruiting
Telemedicine care experience survey for brain tumor patients
This trial asks brain tumor patients and caregivers to share what they think about the quality of care they receive through telemedicine. Your feedback may help improve how neuro-oncology visits are done by video in the future.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07339085Recruiting
Advanced MRI for brain tumor recurrence or radiation damage
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better tell the difference between a returning brain tumor and radiation injury. It may help guide your treatment decisions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05770531RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test guides chemo changes for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study uses a blood test that looks for “circulating tumor DNA” to help decide if standard chemotherapy should be changed. It aims to see whether this approach improves how well treatment works for certain metastatic (stage IV) breast cancers.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07194044RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a treatment schedule for metastatic Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a new schedule of standard chemotherapy drugs to see if it improves outcomes for people with metastatic Ewing sarcoma or CIC-rearranged sarcoma. It is for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment, except possibly one initial cycle of VDC.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 year+ - NCT05687110RecruitingPhase 1
Testing novobiocin for tumors with DNA repair gene changes
This Phase 1 study tests whether novobiocin is safe and finds the best dose for people whose tumors have specific DNA repair gene mutations. It may help if your cancer is hard to treat with standard options, including certain patients who already tried PARP inhibitors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05463757Recruiting

Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,868 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.
