Recruiting studies
- NCT06148077Recruiting
Manual therapy for head and neck cancer survivors with jaw or shoulder issues

This study collects tissue and fluid samples from people with head and neck disorders to help researchers learn more about these conditions. By donating leftover samples from your regular medical care, you can help advance research without extra procedures.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–120 - NCT07690618RecruitingPhase 1
Heat therapy for head and neck cancer
This phase 1 trial tests adding heat therapy (thermotherapy) to standard radiation (with or without chemo) for head and neck cancer. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for patients with locally advanced disease who have not had radiation before.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07041320Recruiting
Oral chemo and immunotherapy for older adults with lung cancer
This trial is testing a combination of an oral chemotherapy pill (vinorelbine) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people aged 65 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer with fewer side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT05559645Recruiting
Targeted oral pill for EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer
This study tests an oral pill (DZD9008) that targets a specific genetic change in lung cancer called EGFR. If you have this mutation, the drug may shrink your tumor or slow its growth, especially if other treatments have stopped working or caused side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06353685RecruitingPhase 2
Less radiation after surgery for oral cancer with good response
This trial is testing whether giving less radiation after surgery is safe and effective for people with oral cancer whose surgery results were very good (no cancer cells or very few left). It aims to reduce side effects while still preventing cancer from coming back.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07272382Recruiting
Omega-3 supplements with immunotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding omega-3 fatty acid supplements to a PD-1 inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy) can help control advanced esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has spread or returned, and who have not already failed a similar immunotherapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06201234RecruitingPhase 2
Adding elacestrant to olaparib for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests if adding a new oral medicine (elacestrant) to a standard PARP inhibitor (olaparib) works better for people with advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if the combination can help control the cancer longer.
Stuttgart, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07503925RecruitingPhase 4
THRIVE Study: Oral nicotine pouches and health
This study looks at how oral nicotine pouches (a type of smokeless tobacco product) affect health. If you use these pouches daily and meet a few other conditions, you may help researchers understand their public health impact.
Columbus, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT06989489Recruiting
Daily oral chemo adherence support program
This study is testing a program to help people stick with their daily oral chemo pill. It is for adults who have been taking a single oral cancer treatment for at least six months and want extra support.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT05690048RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant to help liver cancer respond to standard drugs
This trial studies whether a fecal microbiota transfer (a “gut bacteria transfer” from a donor) can help liver cancer patients overcome resistance to atezolizumab and bevacizumab. It aims to improve how well the standard medicines control the cancer.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06371274Recruiting
Oral vitamin A drug plus immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of an oral vitamin A-based drug (all-trans retinoic acid) and an immunotherapy (toripalimab) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that hasn't responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, P.R. ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06468215Recruiting
Fertility-sparing treatment for early stage 2 endometrial cancer
This study tests a way to treat early-stage endometrial cancer without removing the uterus, so you can still have a chance to carry a pregnancy. It’s for women under 45 with a grade 2 tumor that hasn’t grown into the womb muscle.

CAR-T therapy study for older adults

New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT06830018Recruiting
New megestrol for advanced stomach or colon cancer with fatigue
This study tests a new form of megestrol (a medicine that can boost appetite and energy) for people with advanced stomach or colorectal cancer who also have fatigue and poor appetite. It is given as a first treatment, meaning you haven't had chemotherapy yet for your advanced cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for oral cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 275 recruiting oral 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 oral 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 oral 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.
