Recruiting studies
- NCT04991103RecruitingPhase 2
Testing delaying stem cell transplant after early myeloma response
This Phase 2 study tests whether people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma can safely delay or avoid an immediate stem cell transplant if they respond well to early treatment. It aims to see if this “response-adapted” approach can still control the disease while reducing the need for upfront transplant for some patients.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04920032RecruitingPhase 1
Blood test–guided extra treatment for colon cancer recurrence risk
This Phase 1 study uses a blood test called ctDNA to decide whether and how to adjust treatment in people with colon cancer who still have a small amount of disease left after surgery. If your blood test remains positive, the trial aims to reduce recurrence risk by guiding treatment changes.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04739072Recruiting
Check colorectal cancer blood tests after curative treatment
This study measures “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of cancer that may remain after surgery, using blood samples. It may help doctors better detect who is at higher risk of cancer coming back and guide follow-up care.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04523857RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib and hydroxychloroquine after breast cancer relapse risk
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abemaciclib plus hydroxychloroquine can kill tiny “leftover” cancer cells in the bone marrow after standard breast cancer treatment. It may help lower the chance of cancer coming back by targeting minimal residual disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04466059Recruiting
AI tool for leukemia diagnosis using blood or marrow samples
This study tests whether an AI (computer system) can help improve leukemia and related blood cancer diagnoses. You may be able to help if your doctor is already evaluating you for a possible blood disorder and your sample is high enough quality for testing.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT01499394Recruiting
Biorepository study for adults who can consent
This study collects and stores samples (such as tissue or other biological materials) for future research. It mainly seeks adults who can agree to participate after understanding what it involves.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03965234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung infusion for colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs
This trial tests a procedure where chemotherapy is delivered directly into the lungs during surgery to remove or destroy lung tumors. It aims to reduce the chance of cancer returning after surgery for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03326921RecruitingPhase 1
T cell treatment for leukemia after a bone marrow transplant
This early-phase trial tests an immune “T cell” therapy made to recognize a specific leukemia target. It is for people whose acute leukemia has come back (relapsed) or did not fully respond after receiving a donor stem cell transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 80 years - NCT07524114Recruiting
Blood test to find leftover cancer after treatment
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after you finish treatment. It may help doctors know if cancer is still there and guide next steps.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07006012Recruiting
Study of RGL-305 for lymphoma with minimal residual disease
This trial tests if a new treatment called RGL-305 can help people with lymphoma who still have tiny amounts of cancer cells left after previous treatment. It is for those whose disease has responded to prior therapy but is not completely gone at the genetic level.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06974786RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell engager vs stem cell transplant for newly diagnosed myeloma
This trial compares two approaches after initial therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a T-cell engager (elranatamab) versus a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which provides better control of the disease, using sensitive MRD testing to guide further treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT04333706RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sarilumab plus capecitabine for certain breast cancers
This trial studies whether adding sarilumab to capecitabine can shrink or control metastatic or high-risk breast cancer that lacks HER2 and is either triple-negative or hormone-resistant. It aims to find a safe dose first, then look at how well the treatment works compared with historical results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT06428149Recruiting
Comparing gum surgery techniques for deep pockets
This study looks at three different ways to make cuts in the gums during surgery for deep pockets caused by gum disease. It aims to find which technique helps heal better and save more bone.
Murcia, MurciaAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for minimal residual disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 61 recruiting minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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 minimal residual disease 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.
