Recruiting studies
- NCT04491929Recruiting
Radiation treatment for colon cancer in the liver using tiny beads
This trial studies a targeted liver radiation procedure that uses tiny radioactive beads to treat colon cancer spread mostly in the liver. It may help people whose liver tumors cannot be removed or treated with other common local treatments, but it has several safety and “screening” checks.

Romiplostim N01 plus rituximab for ITP that didn't respond to oral TPO-RA
This trial tests a new combination of two medicines—romiplostim N01 (a shot to raise platelets) and rituximab (an infusion that calms the immune system)—for people with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have not had enough improvement from oral TPO-RA pills like hetrombopag or eltrombopag. It aims to see if this combination works better and is safe.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 14 years+ - NCT06689917Recruiting
JY231 injection for relapsed B-cell lymphoma or leukemia
This trial tests a new cell therapy called JY231 for people whose B-cell lymphoma or leukemia has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy targets a protein on cancer cells called CD19 and may help your immune system fight the cancer.

Anorectal manometry for children with chronic constipation
This study is for children aged 4–16 who have long-term constipation that doesn't get better with standard laxatives. It uses a test called anorectal manometry to measure how well the muscles in the bottom work, which can help guide treatment.
CairoAges 4–16 - NCT05791409RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus epcoritamab for relapsed or refractory CLL
This early-phase study tests whether combining venetoclax (a tablet) with epcoritamab (a targeted antibody) can control CLL/SLL that has come back or did not respond. It may help by boosting the immune system’s ability to attack the cancer while keeping the treatment schedule in cycles.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06549907Recruiting
Study of double immunotherapy plus anti-angiogenic therapy
This trial studies people with certain types of colorectal or other solid tumors that did not respond to a single immunotherapy drug. It tests whether adding a second immune checkpoint blocker and an anti-angiogenic drug can help control the cancer.

Study of epcoritamab and ibrutinib for central nervous system lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, epcoritamab and ibrutinib, for people whose lymphoma has come back or not responded to treatment and has spread to the brain or spinal cord. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,209 recruiting refractory 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 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 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.
