Irinotecan liposome plus anlotinib for SCLC after first chemo
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—irinotecan liposome (a chemotherapy) and anlotinib (a targeted therapy)—as a second treatment for small cell lung cancer that returned quickly after initial chemo. The goal is to see if this combo can work better than standard options.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06687070RecruitingPhase 1
APG-2449 alone or with PLD for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug, APG-2449, either alone or with another chemotherapy called PLD (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin). It is for people with advanced solid tumors, including ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and how safe it is.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06434896Recruiting
Blood test to guide chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer
This trial is for people with stage II colon cancer who are not currently getting chemotherapy. It uses a blood test to look for tumor DNA, so doctors can decide if chemotherapy might help prevent the cancer from coming back.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06994195RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing an experimental drug to standard chemo for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-B01D1 against standard chemotherapy for people with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum-based treatments. The goal is to see which option works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07076979Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers for stomach cancer detection and monitoring
This study looks for metabolic markers in your blood and tumor tissue to help find stomach cancer early, predict your prognosis, and watch for recurrence. If you qualify, you would give blood and tumor samples for testing.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07068529Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers for early diagnosis and recurrence of colorectal cancer
This study looks at metabolic biomarkers in blood and tumor tissue to help detect colorectal cancer earlier, predict outcomes, and monitor for recurrence. It includes both people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer and healthy volunteers for comparison.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07062536RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing Two Chemo Combos for Advanced Bile Duct Cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations (mFOLFOX and mFOLFIRI) against just one of them (mFOLFOX) for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has progressed after standard first-line treatment. The goal is to see which works better as a second treatment option.
Busan, BusanAges 19–99 - NCT05894070Recruiting
Using your voice recordings to spot cancer coming back
This study looks at whether changes in your voice can help detect early return of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. If you’ve finished curative treatment and are disease-free for a certain period, your voice will be monitored to see if it can signal recurrence sooner.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07504588RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two drug combinations for recurrent ovarian cancer after PARP inhibitor treatment
This trial tests whether a new drug combination (sacituzumab govitecan plus bevacizumab) works better than the usual chemotherapy for ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum treatment and PARP inhibitor maintenance. It may offer a new option for people with certain genetic markers (BRCA mutations or HRD).
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05123807RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus heated chemotherapy for recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer
This trial studies a planned surgery to remove as much cancer as possible, followed by heated chemotherapy placed in the belly (called HIPEC). It’s for people with recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer, aiming to control the cancer and improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 680 recruiting recurrent 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 recurrent 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 recurrent 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.
