St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05570825RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug SX-682 with pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests SX-682 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to treat metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to see how well the combination works and whether it can shrink or control the cancer in people whose tumors have enough PD-L1.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06540729RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for ovarian clear cell cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (RC48, AK104, and bevacizumab) for ovarian clear cell carcinoma, a type of ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer in people who have not had many prior treatments.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636734RecruitingPhase 2
Lovastatin plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) works better than pembrolizumab alone for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy before and aren't already on a statin.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07239245RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immunotherapy for high-risk liver cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a combination of two therapies—targeted chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver (TACE) plus immunotherapy (atezolizumab) and a targeted drug (bevacizumab)—can keep liver cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people whose tumors can be surgically removed but are at high risk of recurrence.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07648914RecruitingPhase 3
BL-B01D1 versus chemotherapy for advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug called BL-B01D1 against standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative, and has stopped responding to hormone treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06382818Recruiting

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.
