Biomarker test to guide early treatment for HR+ HER2- breast cancer
This study uses a lab “biomarker” test to help doctors choose the best first treatment for people with HR+ (hormone-receptor positive), HER2-negative metastatic or unresectable breast cancer. The goal is to see if this biomarker-guided approach can improve which therapy you start with.

Radiotherapy for metastatic esophageal cancer responding to immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding radiotherapy can help people with metastatic esophageal cancer that has already responded well to initial treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It may offer a way to improve outcomes for those whose cancer has not progressed after 2-4 cycles of first-line treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06085716RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination therapy for advanced cancer fatigue
This study tests a combination of treatments (including education and counseling) to see if they can reduce severe fatigue in people with advanced cancer. It's for patients who are seen at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas and can attend sessions in person or online.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06099093RecruitingPhase 4
PSMA PET scan before standard therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial will test if a special PET scan (18F-DCFPyL) can help doctors plan your treatment with a radioactive medicine called 177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan. You are eligible if you already qualify for that standard therapy and have had a prior PSMA PET scan showing at least one active cancer site.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,365 recruiting metastatic 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 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 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.
