Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06685289RecruitingPhase 2
Donafenib and capecitabine after surgery for biliary cancer with high risk of return
This trial tests whether taking donafenib and capecitabine pills after surgery can help prevent biliary cancer from coming back in people who have a high risk of recurrence. It is for patients whose cancer was completely removed but had certain features that make recurrence more likely.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05189054Recruiting
Radiation retreatment for very central chest tumors
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (SBRT) to treat tumors in the very center of the chest that have already been treated with radiation before. It aims to check safety and whether the tumor can be controlled without causing unacceptable side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT03911388RecruitingPhase 1
HSV G207 for Children with Recurrent Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This trial is testing a virus called HSV G207, which is injected directly into the tumor, to treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor in the cerebellum that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–22 - NCT06476067Recruiting
Predicting early esophageal cancer return after surgery
This trial uses stored tumor tissue to try to predict if esophageal cancer will come back early after surgery. It is for people who had surgery only (no chemo or radiation) and have been followed for at least 2 years.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT05444478Recruiting
Microwave ablation plus lenvatinib for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining heat treatment to kill liver tumors (microwave ablation) with the medicine lenvatinib can better control recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow growth for people whose cancer has come back but who have limited tumor burden.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT04510051RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cell therapy for IL13Rα2 positive pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) for children with brain tumors that come back or do not respond to standard treatment. The cells are given after chemotherapy that temporarily lowers the body’s immune system, which may help the CAR T cells work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 4–25 - NCT06934018Recruiting
Surgical margin width for liver-only colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests whether a wider surgical margin (at least 7mm) during liver surgery improves survival and reduces cancer return in patients whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but not elsewhere. It aims to remove all visible liver tumors with a safe margin.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07651124Recruiting
Testing a cell therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial tests a treatment where doctors take immune cells from your tumor, grow more of them in the lab, and put them back into your body to fight the cancer. This approach, called TIL therapy, aims to strengthen your own immune system to target ovarian cancer that has come back.
Gyeonggi-do, Bundang-guAges 20 years+ - NCT04928677RecruitingPhase 1
Codrituzumab for children and young adults with GPC3-positive solid tumors

- Are there clinical trials for recurrence tumor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 182 recruiting recurrence tumor 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 recurrence tumor 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 recurrence tumor 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.
