Recruiting studies
- NCT04754321RecruitingPhase 1
Test immunotherapy with salvage surgery and IORT for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a new plan that combines immunotherapy with surgery, plus a targeted radiation treatment called IORT. It is for people whose head and neck squamous cell cancer has come back or never fully went away and can be operated on. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer and see how safe the approach is.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06982274RecruitingPhase 2
Arsenic and ATRA for new APL patients
This trial tests a combination of oral arsenic and ATRA for people newly diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). It aims to see if this drug combo can treat the disease effectively without standard chemotherapy.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT06992882RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two chemo regimens with Herceptin for early breast cancer
This trial tests if taking oral chemotherapy pills with trastuzumab (Herceptin) works as well as IV chemo (paclitaxel) with Herceptin after surgery for HER2-positive, lymph node-negative early breast cancer. It aims to find a more convenient treatment option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07079475RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of two targeted pills for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two oral targeted drugs for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. It may help if you have already been treated with a third-generation EGFR pill or if you are starting treatment for the first time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03213002RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAPTEM pills after brain radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial studies whether taking two chemotherapy pills (capecitabine and temozolomide) after the initial 6-week radiation-and-chemo phase can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to test safety and early effectiveness right before the usual maintenance temozolomide phase.
New York, New YorkAges 18–74 - NCT05675930RecruitingPhase 2
Light therapy for mouth GVHD after a stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 study tests a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) to improve oral graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It may help people whose mouth symptoms have not improved with at least one prior treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 years+ - NCT05360160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral menin inhibitor plus AML medicines for new or relapsed AML
This trial tests an all-pill (oral) combination treatment—menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 plus decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax—for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s designed for people who are newly diagnosed and can’t get the strongest chemotherapy, or for certain other AML groups who may still benefit.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT05557045RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of an oral pill for MAPK-driven advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests an oral investigational medicine (JZP815) to see how safe it is, the best dose, and whether it can shrink tumors. It’s for adults with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have a specific MAPK pathway genetic change.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06071637RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing mouth sores with laser therapy in stem cell transplant
This trial tests if a low-power laser can prevent painful mouth sores and throat pain in people getting a stem cell transplant from a donor. The laser is applied to the mouth before sores start, aiming to reduce pain and speed healing.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–100 - NCT00260585Recruiting
Esophageal risk and tissue registry study
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04829136Recruiting
Oral fiber supplement during donor stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether taking a fiber supplement by mouth during a donor stem cell transplant helps patients tolerate treatment and potentially recover better. It’s specifically for adults who are planning a donor (allogeneic) transplant for blood cancers.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05463757Recruiting
Oral drugs for advanced or multiple basal cell skin cancer
This study registers people in the Netherlands who have certain types of basal cell skin cancer and take an oral hedgehog-blocking medicine. It may help doctors understand how well these tablets work and how patients do in real life.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - NCT07478848RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation, Vancomycin, and CAR-T for B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether giving radiation and an oral antibiotic (vancomycin) before CAR-T therapy helps treat B-cell lymphoma more effectively. It is for people who are already scheduled to receive CAR-T treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.
Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT06887621RecruitingPhase 2
Adding oral amisulpride to prevent nausea after gynecologic surgery
This trial tests if adding a medication called amisulpride to standard anti-nausea drugs can better prevent vomiting and nausea after gynecologic surgery. It is for women at high risk of postoperative nausea.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for oral cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 282 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.
