Recruiting studies
- NCT04842266Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize pelvic fractures and reduce pain
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–30 - NCT04852887RecruitingPhase 3
Testing shorter breast radiation after low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether “less intense” radiation can work as well as standard radiation for certain early-stage hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancers that have a low Oncotype DX score. It may help reduce treatment burden while keeping cancer control strong.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–70 - NCT04865315Recruiting
Donate tumor samples to build organoid tissue from glioma
This study collects tumor tissue during brain surgery to create lab-grown “organoids” (mini models of the tumor). It aims to build a tissue bank that researchers can use to better study gliomas and develop treatments.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–21 - NCT04872166RecruitingPhase 1
BTX-A51 for advanced solid tumors and breast cancer patients
This Phase 1 study tests BTX-A51, an experimental treatment, in people with advanced cancers that can’t be cured with standard options. It mainly focuses on safety, side effects, and whether the drug can start helping certain tumors.
Lake Mary, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04875611RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for nasopharyngeal cancer after platinum chemotherapy
This trial studies nivolumab (an immune therapy) for nasopharyngeal cancer that grew or returned after platinum chemotherapy. It aims to shrink tumors or slow cancer growth after standard treatment hasn’t worked.
BialystokAges 18 years+ - NCT04900558Recruiting
Study outcomes after robotic bladder removal surgery
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
Florence, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT04925609RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brigatinib for young people with ALK-positive cancer
This trial tests brigatinib, a targeted pill medicine, in children and young adults with ALK-positive cancers (including ALCL and IMT, plus some other solid tumors). It’s designed to see how well it works and what side effects it causes in people whose tumors have a specific ALK change.
ParisAges 1–25 - NCT04927897Recruiting
Testing where to aim extra rectal radiation before surgery
This trial tests the best place to target an “extra boost” of radiation inside the rectum for certain rectal cancer patients. It may help guide more precise treatment planning before they have total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07699861Recruiting
Thoracic cancers during pregnancy registry
This registry collects information on thoracic cancers (like lung cancer, mesothelioma, or chest tumors) that occur during pregnancy. It helps doctors learn more about how to care for both the mother and baby.
BadenAges 18 years+ - NCT05250284Recruiting
Study of cancer care support for working men’s well-being
This study looks at how cancer treatment care affects the well-being of working men during the first months after diagnosis. It may help identify ways to support you while you continue working or plan to return to work.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–70 - NCT04935853Recruiting
Study of markers that predict bile duct cancer treatment response
This study looks at lab markers (including genetic tests) to predict how people with bile duct cancer respond to treatment. Your answers and samples may help doctors personalize care for bile duct cancer in the future.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04953897RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancer patients with kidney problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how an oral combination cancer medicine behaves in the body (dose handling and safety) in people with kidney impairment. It may help doctors learn the safest way to use this treatment when kidney function is reduced.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04953910RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancers with liver problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how a pill form of decitabine/cedazuridine behaves in the body and how safe it is for people whose livers don’t work normally. It may help doctors better understand dosing and safety in patients with hepatic impairment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04962711Recruiting
Risk-guided plan to prevent heart failure after cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a personalized, risk-based heart care plan can help prevent heart failure in people who had certain cancer treatments. It focuses on monitoring and guiding treatment, using heart ultrasound results and other health factors.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 40–85 - NCT04984551RecruitingPhase 2
Training plus support to improve palliative care for advanced cancer
This trial studies whether a program called Project ECHO can improve the quality of palliative care (comfort-focused care) for people with advanced cancer and their caregivers in underserved areas. It also involves training local health care providers so they can better support patients and families over time.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04985058Recruiting
Study of abemaciclib plus hormone therapy in breast cancer
This study uses real-world health records to learn about outcomes in people with hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who were treated with abemaciclib along with hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help doctors better understand how well this treatment works outside of clinical trials.
AthensAges 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+ - NCT04989647RecruitingPhase 3
Stage IB1 to IIA cervical cancer surgery with possible radiation
This Phase 3 trial studies how best to treat intermediate-risk cervical cancer using radical surgery, with or without additional radiation after surgery. It may help find which approach lowers the chance the cancer comes back for patients with certain tumor risk features.
PragueAges 18–85 - NCT05014165Recruiting
Cord blood study for leukemia with stored birth samples
This study looks at leukemia “genetic clues” using special stored samples, including cord blood saved at birth. It may help researchers better understand leukemia biology and how common mutations may show up early.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 25 years - NCT05023785Recruiting
Lifestyle program for cancer survivors with early heart strain
This trial tests a structured lifestyle and exercise change program for young people who finished cancer treatment and have signs of early heart weakness. The goal is to improve heart health and lower the chance of heart failure later.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for oncology?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 798 recruiting oncology 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 oncology 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 oncology 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.
