Recruiting studies
- NCT07619391Recruiting
MyCap App: Tracking Treatment Time Burden in Pancreatic Cancer
This study asks pancreatic cancer patients to use a smartphone app called MyCap that tracks how much time their cancer treatment takes—like travel to appointments, time in the clinic, and side effects. Researchers want to understand the full burden of treatment to help doctors and future patients plan better.

Antibiotics before surgery for oral cancer
This trial tests if taking antibiotics and using a mouth rinse before surgery can help treat oral cancer by targeting bacteria inside the tumor. It is for people with a new diagnosis of oral cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04742608Recruiting
Liquid blood tests to diagnose thyroid nodules or cancer
This study tests whether a blood “liquid biopsy” can help diagnose thyroid cancer or hard-to-tell thyroid nodules without needing extra procedures. It may help confirm what’s going on before or around planned thyroid surgery.

Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (NC410 plus chemotherapy and nivolumab, with or without ipilimumab) for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if adding these immunotherapy agents can help shrink or control the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07463833Recruiting
AI review of prostate cancer radiation plans
This study tests if an AI tool can improve the safety review of radiation treatment plans for prostate cancer. Patients continue their normal treatment while the AI helps doctors check the plans.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07278557RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation to reduce dry mouth from head and neck cancer treatment

Olaparib for metastatic kidney cancer with specific DNA repair gene changes
This trial tests olaparib (a pill medicine) in people with kidney cancer that has spread and specific DNA “repair” gene mutations. The goal is to see whether this targeted treatment can slow the cancer or help it respond better after prior immunotherapy or blood-vessel–blocking therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06424522Recruiting
Enema program for bowel problems after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a special enema program to help people with ongoing bowel problems (called LARS) after rectal cancer surgery. If standard treatments haven't worked, this program might offer a new way to manage symptoms like urgency and leakage.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06949943Recruiting
Meditation before cancer surgery to reduce anxiety
This trial tests if listening to a guided meditation recording before surgery can help lower anxiety. If you are scheduled for cancer surgery and are at least 18 years old, you may be able to take part.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04857502RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tracking prostate cancer spread before lymph node surgery
This early study uses a special imaging tracer to show where prostate cancer has spread in the pelvic lymph nodes. It may help doctors better understand how well certain scans guide surgical removal of affected lymph nodes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06564623RecruitingPhase 1
Peptide vaccine plus immunotherapy for biliary tract cancer
This trial tests a personalized peptide vaccine combined with two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) for patients with biliary tract cancer whose tumors have specific genetic changes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06810778RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Duvelisib plus venetoclax for relapsed PTCL
This study tests two oral drugs—duvelisib and venetoclax—to see if together they can help people with a type of lymphoma called peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) that has not responded to at least two prior treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07185165RecruitingPhase 2
PET Scan for Prostate Cancer Recurrence After Focal Therapy
This study uses a special PET/CT scan (Flotufolastat F 18) to look for leftover or returning prostate cancer after you've had a targeted treatment called focal therapy. The goal is to see if the scan can help find cancer that might need further treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05254184RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine and immunotherapy for KRAS-mutated lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a KRAS-targeted vaccine combined with chemo and immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to help the immune system recognize and fight tumors with specific KRAS mutations, and to see if the treatment is safe and effective enough to study further.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07461948RecruitingPhase 3
Advanced imaging study for glioblastoma patients
This trial uses special MRI scans and a contrast agent to look at the immune environment of glioblastoma tumors. It may help doctors learn more about how the tumor responds to treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05178472Recruiting
Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06263088Recruiting
Equity in GI Cancer Care Study
This trial is looking for Black patients newly diagnosed with any stage of gastrointestinal cancer to help improve cancer care and make sure research includes everyone. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better support patients like you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06803745Recruiting
Comparing two radiation doses for leukemia transplant
This trial tests whether a lower or higher dose of total body irradiation works better for people with acute leukemia getting a stem cell transplant for the first time. It aims to find the safest and most effective radiation level to prepare your body for the transplant.

Testing whether heart nerve signals predict COPD symptoms
This study looks at “sympathetic nerve activity” (signals from the nervous system that affect the heart) in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal is to see whether these measurements can help predict what happens to people with COPD.

Acalabrutinib maintenance after transplant or CAR T for large B-cell lymphoma
This trial studies acalabrutinib given after certain lymphoma treatments (like stem cell transplant or CAR T therapy) to help keep the lymphoma from coming back. It’s for people whose disease has shrunk (partial response) or fully gone away (complete response) after those treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT01137825Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patient comprehension?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 142 recruiting patient comprehension 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 patient comprehension 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 patient comprehension 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.
