Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06894576Recruiting
Creating a risk score for blood clot recurrence and bleeding in cancer patients
This study is for people with cancer who have had a serious blood clot. Researchers want to create a risk score that predicts who might have another clot or a bleeding problem from treatment, so they can better tailor care.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05432804RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor added to temozolomide for recurring brain glioblastoma
This trial studies whether adding selinexor to the standard chemotherapy temozolomide (with radiation) can better treat glioblastoma that has come back after prior treatment. If you meet specific tumor, health, and lab requirements, the goal is to slow tumor growth or improve symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07140679RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after surgery for certain colon cancers
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug called toripalimab after surgery can lower the chance of colon cancer coming back. It is for people whose tumors have a specific genetic feature called mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) and who have had their cancer completely removed.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06965114RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing tovorafenib plus rituximab for hairy cell leukemia
This trial tests a new drug combination (tovorafenib and rituximab) for people with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) whose cancer has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600E. It looks at safety and how well the drugs work, both for people who have had treatment before and for those who have not.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07184970Recruiting
Detecting prostate cancer return after HIFU with advanced scans
This trial uses a special PET/MRI scan to check if prostate cancer has come back after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. It aims to find any remaining cancer early so doctors can plan next steps.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT06865664RecruitingPhase 1
Engineered immune cells for relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma in youth
This early-phase trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) for children and young adults whose rhabdomyosarcoma has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these specially engineered cells can find and attack the cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–39 - NCT05592886Recruiting
Oral probiotic-and-prebiotic drink to prevent colon polyps returning
This study tests whether an oral synbiotic (a probiotic plus a prebiotic) can reduce the chance that advanced colon growths come back after they were removed. It also looks at changes in stool-related bacterial “gene markers” that may signal lower risk over time.
Hohhot, Inner MongoliaAges 18–90 - NCT06570447RecruitingPhase 2
Glofitamab and chidamide for relapsed or refractory DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, glofitamab and chidamide, for people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back or not responded after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help when other options have stopped working.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06090903Recruiting

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.
