Refractory Cancer clinical trials
Below are recruiting refractory cancer clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 272 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03670966RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted iodine therapy, then donor transplant for hard leukemias
This trial tests an antibody-linked radioactive iodine treatment, followed by a donor stem cell transplant, for people with relapsed or refractory high-risk acute leukemia or certain MDS. It may help patients by targeting leukemia cells and then using a new immune system to control the disease.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–75 - NCT07055477RecruitingPhase 1
CCR4 CAR T cells for T-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new immunotherapy that targets a protein called CCR4 on certain T-cell lymphomas. The treatment uses your own immune cells, modified to find and attack cancer cells, and may help when other treatments have stopped working.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06483048RecruitingPhase 1
MUC1-targeted T cells for relapsed ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called MUC1 on ovarian cancer cells. It is for people with ovarian cancer that has come back or is resistant to standard treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04512716RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioimmunotherapy then CD19 CAR T for hard-to-treat blood cancers
This early-phase study tests a two-step treatment: first a targeted radioactive antibody (131-I apamistamab) and then CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. It is for adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is not responding or has come back, aiming to shrink cancer using engineered immune cells.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04300998Recruiting
CAR-T therapy study for older adults
This study looks at how well CAR-T cell therapy works and how safely it can be given to older adults. It is for people whose cancer or related blood condition has come back or did not respond, and who are receiving a standard (commercial) CAR-T product.
New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT03326921RecruitingPhase 1
T cell treatment for leukemia after a bone marrow transplant
This early-phase trial tests an immune “T cell” therapy made to recognize a specific leukemia target. It is for people whose acute leukemia has come back (relapsed) or did not fully respond after receiving a donor stem cell transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 80 years - NCT03314974RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant study for blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a strong (myeloablative) stem cell transplant using donor stem cells (allogeneic transplant) for certain blood and bone marrow cancers. The goal is to see how well this approach works and whether it can improve outcomes for people who need transplant-level treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 60 years - NCT03911388RecruitingPhase 1
HSV G207 for Children with Recurrent Cerebellar Brain Tumors
This trial is testing a virus called HSV G207, which is injected directly into the tumor, to treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor in the cerebellum that has come back or not responded to standard treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–22

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 272 recruiting refractory 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 refractory 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 refractory 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.
