Study of CTX-8371 for advanced cancers no longer helped by standard therapy
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-8371 for people with advanced cancers (melanoma, head and neck, lung, triple-negative breast, or Hodgkin lymphoma) that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. It is a first-in-human study, meaning doctors are learning if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Margate, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05010109Recruiting
Testing heart safety and fitness during lung cancer chemoradiation
This study looks at how lung cancer treatment affects the heart and whether a “walking test” and blood tests can track heart fitness and injury. It may help by improving how cancer therapy is planned and monitored for heart safety.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07085091RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALX2004 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ALX2004, for people with certain advanced cancers (head and neck, lung, esophagus, or colorectal) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04522687Recruiting
Blood lymphocyte changes studied during radiation and chemotherapy for lung cancers
This study looks at how a type of white blood cell in your blood changes while you receive radiation and chemotherapy. The goal is to see whether these blood changes relate to treatment, especially in certain chest (thoracic) cancers.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05044117RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine pills after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether taking capecitabine pills on a steady, low schedule after standard treatment can help keep locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer from coming back or spreading. You may be eligible if your cancer is stage III–IV and you have finished certain radiation/chemo treatments on time, without current spread.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05392413Recruiting
Predicting who benefits from PD-1 antibody for esophageal cancer
This study uses an “immune indicator model” to help predict how well a PD-1 antibody (a cancer-fighting immune drug) works when combined with chemotherapy for stage IV esophageal squamous cell cancer. If you qualify, you receive the treatment and the researchers also look for immune-related signs that may explain who benefits most.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT04992559RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab after surgery and chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial studies toripalimab to lower the risk of the cancer coming back after surgery and additional chemo-radiation. It may help the immune system “finish the job” after your main treatment, especially if you have higher-risk features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04807140RecruitingPhase 2
Study of toripalimab before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests toripalimab (an immunotherapy) given before surgery for untreated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, either alone or with chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see if it improves outcomes for people who plan curative surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT03734952Recruiting
Radiation after esophagus surgery for stage II–III cancer
This study looks at whether giving radiation after surgery (after chemo and radiation before surgery) can improve outcomes for people with squamous cell esophagus cancer in the chest. You may be considered if you are well enough for treatment and your cancer has not spread.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT05069857RecruitingPhase 2
New pre-surgery treatment tailored to cancer markers in mouth cancer
This Phase 2 study tests medicines given before surgery for stage III/IV oral squamous cell carcinoma, choosing the treatment based on your tumor marker results. It aims to shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by using two targeted types of therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05125055RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test new throat cancer treatment before surgery
This trial tests giving anti–PD-1 immunotherapy plus a drug called TP before surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma (mouth/throat cancer). The goal is to see whether this pre-surgery treatment improves how much the tumor responds under the microscope.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06173986RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation can help people with unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those who cannot have surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07863141RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy after first-line chemoimmunotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This study compares two maintenance treatments after initial chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if adding anlotinib, a targeted drug that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors, to a PD-1 inhibitor is more effective than the PD-1 inhibitor alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04104945Recruiting
Trial to reduce radiation fields in p16+ oropharyngeal cancer
This study tests whether shrinking the “planned radiation area” (elective treatment volumes) can still treat p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer effectively. It may help reduce unnecessary radiation to nearby healthy tissues while keeping the cancer treatment curative.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06194734RecruitingPhase 3
KC1036 vs. chemo for advanced esophageal cancer
This study compares a new drug, KC1036, to standard chemotherapy options for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer that has progressed after immunotherapy and at least one chemo. It aims to see if KC1036 works better or has fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07811752RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs for advanced esophageal cancer that has grown despite earlier treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and slow the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 529 recruiting renal cell carcinoma 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 renal cell carcinoma 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 renal cell carcinoma 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.
