Study of BAFF-R CAR-T cells for CD19-negative B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called BAFF-R CAR-T cells for people with B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment, and whose cancer cells do not have the CD19 protein. The treatment uses your own immune cells, modified to target and kill the lymphoma cells.

Targeted radiation therapy for advanced osteosarcoma
This trial tests a new targeted radiation treatment (177Lu-TARGETed Osteosarcoma Therapy) for people with advanced osteosarcoma that has not responded to or has come back after prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink or control the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,200 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.
