Recruiting studies
- NCT04857164RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic throat cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) combined with chemotherapy works better as a first treatment for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in the oral/throat area. It aims to improve cancer control and help people live longer with fewer side effects than standard care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07697859Recruiting
Immunotherapy with local treatment for limited spread esophageal cancer
This trial tests giving immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors) along with local treatments like radiation or surgery at different times for patients whose esophageal cancer has spread to only a few spots. The goal is to see the best timing for these combined treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05392413Recruiting
Predicting who benefits from PD-1 antibody for esophageal cancer
This study uses an “immune indicator model” to help predict how well a PD-1 antibody (a cancer-fighting immune drug) works when combined with chemotherapy for stage IV esophageal squamous cell cancer. If you qualify, you receive the treatment and the researchers also look for immune-related signs that may explain who benefits most.

KC1036 vs. chemo for advanced esophageal cancer
This study compares a new drug, KC1036, to standard chemotherapy options for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer that has progressed after immunotherapy and at least one chemo. It aims to see if KC1036 works better or has fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06208826RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy maintenance after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether continuing immunotherapy can help keep cancer from coming back in people with head and neck cancer who had a good response to chemo-immunotherapy before surgery. You would have already had surgery, and now the study tests a maintenance treatment to strengthen your immune system's fight against any remaining cancer cells.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06272214RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after surgery improves outcomes for people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery but did not achieve a complete response. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Chemo, radiation, and immune therapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and two targeted drugs (serplulimab and nimotuzumab) given before surgery for a certain type of esophageal cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07481058RecruitingPhase 2
Study of KC1036 with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called KC1036 combined with standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with advanced esophageal cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic renal cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 359 recruiting metastatic renal cell carcinoma 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 renal cell carcinoma 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 renal cell carcinoma 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.
