Testing donor-like immune T cells for children with liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (ET140203 T cells) in children and teens with certain liver cancers that have come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It aims to see whether these T cells can shrink tumors and is mainly focused on safety and early effectiveness.

This study tests whether adding the drugs pembrolizumab and olaparib (or similar “radiosensitizers”) to radiation can improve outcomes for women with advanced breast cancer that is triple-negative or ER-positive/Her2-negative. It’s designed for cancers that have spread or come back and where radiation is being considered to control disease.

Compare IV versus inhaled anesthesia for esophageal surgery
This trial tests whether using IV anesthesia (given through a vein) or inhaled anesthesia helps people live longer without their esophageal cancer coming back after surgery. You’d be randomly assigned to one anesthesia type as part of potentially curative surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–90 - NCT04508790RecruitingPhase 2
Leflunomide plus pomalidomide with dexamethasone for relapsed myeloma
This trial studies whether a combination of three medicines (leflunomide, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone) can better treat multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding. It may help people who are not good candidates for transplant and who have measurable disease.

This trial tests CPX-351 together with ivosidenib in people with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to improve disease control, especially in tumors with a specific genetic change called IDH1.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04573140RecruitingPhase 1
RNA vaccine study for newly diagnosed adult and pediatric brain tumors
This Phase 1 trial studies an “RNA-lipid particle” vaccine given after surgery for certain newly diagnosed brain cancers (glioblastoma in adults, high-grade glioma in children/teens). The goal is to see whether the vaccine is safe and can train the immune system to fight the tumor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 years+ - NCT04529785Recruiting
Tested added ethanol vein treatment during repeat atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial compares two ways to help stop atrial fibrillation during a repeat procedure: standard vein isolation only versus standard isolation plus an added medicine (ethanol) into the vein of Marshall. It aims to see whether the added step improves results when atrial fibrillation returns after a previous successful treatment.
Bruges, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT04467723RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus pirfenidone for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether combining atezolizumab and pirfenidone can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after prior treatment. It is aimed at patients whose cancer has certain genetic markers ruled out and who can safely take study medicines and follow frequent visits.
Fairway, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04421560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab for PCNSL
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a combination of pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab treats primary CNS lymphoma that came back or didn’t respond after prior brain treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and control it in the brain and fluid around the brain.

Carbon ion re-irradiation for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation called carbon-ion re-irradiation for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or grown again after earlier radiation. It may help control the cancer after certain surgeries, but it also requires specific safety conditions about timing, prior treatment areas, and overall health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent or metastatic solid tumors?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,308 recruiting recurrent or metastatic solid tumors 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 or metastatic solid tumors 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 or metastatic solid tumors 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.
