Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06378866RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with hormone therapy timing for prostate cancer
This study is testing whether using focused radiation beams (SBRT) right away or later, along with hormone therapy, can help control prostate cancer that has returned in a few spots outside the pelvis. The goal is to find the best timing for combining radiation and hormone treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06096870RecruitingPhase 2
Enzalutamide with a new drug for prostate cancer that is active on PET scan
This trial tests a combination of enzalutamide (a hormone blocker) and an investigational antibody-drug (PDS01ADC) in men whose prostate cancer has come back after initial treatment, but has not yet spread extensively. It does not involve standard hormone therapy that lowers testosterone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06202248Recruiting
DaRT radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has returned
This trial tests a new type of radiation using tiny alpha-emitting seeds placed directly into the tumor. It is for people whose prostate cancer came back in the gland after initial treatment but hasn't spread elsewhere.
HaifaAges 18–120 - NCT06181344Recruiting
Helping with fear of cancer returning after treatment
This program helps people who have finished treatment for breast, gynecological, or colorectal cancer manage fears about their cancer coming back. It offers screening and support to address those worries.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07860528Recruiting
High-dose brachytherapy for prostate cancer that has returned
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy called high-dose-rate brachytherapy, which is given to men whose prostate cancer has come back after their first treatment. It aims to control the cancer while keeping side effects low.
Benidorm, AlicanteAges 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+ - NCT06733766Recruiting
Heat therapy for returning thyroid cancer
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided heat (thermal ablation) to treat thyroid cancer that has come back in the neck after a prior thyroidectomy. The goal is to destroy the recurrent tumor using a needle-like device, avoiding another surgery for patients whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06560112RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy trial for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial tests two experimental drugs, AK104 and AK112, for ovarian cancer that has come back after standard platinum chemotherapy. It may be an option if your cancer is a high-grade type and you have had prior treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06014528RecruitingPhase 2
IN10018 plus liposomal doxorubicin for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests if adding the drug IN10018 to standard chemotherapy (liposomal doxorubicin) can help women with ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum-based treatments. It aims to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06644846Recruiting
Spaced radiation for gynecologic cancers
This trial tests a special type of radiation that is given in small, spaced-out beams to treat gynecologic cancers (like cervical or uterine cancer). It is for patients who cannot get standard internal radiation (brachytherapy) because of unusual anatomy, large tumors, a narrow vagina, or anesthesia risks.
Navi Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–70 - NCT06369285RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, alisertib, combined with hormone therapy for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back and is no longer curable. It may be an option if you've already tried at least two hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 678 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.
