Blood test for immune markers in skin cancer patients on cemiplimab
This trial is testing whether a new blood test can predict how well the drug cemiplimab works for skin cancer and if it causes side effects. It may help doctors better match treatments to patients.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT06935188RecruitingPhase 2
Dalpiciclib plus cetuximab for certain head and neck cancers
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (dalpiciclib and cetuximab) versus cetuximab alone for people with head and neck cancer that is HPV-negative, has not responded to prior immunotherapy, and is not curable with surgery. The goal is to see if the combination works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05272696RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) together with induction chemotherapy before the main cancer treatment for stage III/IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and how long people can stay controlled.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06819228RecruitingPhase 1
Lighted antibody imaging in head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests a special fluorescent dye attached to panitumumab, a cancer-targeting antibody, to help surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly during head and neck cancer surgery. The goal is to improve removal of all cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764355RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, Immunotherapy, and Chemoradiation Before Surgery for Advanced Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and chemoradiation before surgery for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
TaipeiAges 18–75 - NCT06307015Recruiting
Lowering radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer using a special PET scan
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (FMISO PET) can help safely lower the radiation dose for patients with HPV-positive throat cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06601309RecruitingPhase 2
Study of treatments before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial is testing different treatment combinations before surgery for people with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to find which approach works best based on specific biomarkers like PD-L1 levels.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06563479RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized vs. standard radiation for HPV-positive throat cancer
This trial compares a personalized, shorter course of radiation therapy to the standard longer course for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. The goal is to see if personalized treatment is just as effective while reducing side effects.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06487403Recruiting
Delaying radiation for head and neck cancer: MRI and immune markers study
This study tests whether delaying radiation therapy can help doctors learn more from MRI scans and immune system changes in patients with head and neck cancer. This could lead to better treatment decisions.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06208826RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy maintenance after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether continuing immunotherapy can help keep cancer from coming back in people with head and neck cancer who had a good response to chemo-immunotherapy before surgery. You would have already had surgery, and now the study tests a maintenance treatment to strengthen your immune system's fight against any remaining cancer cells.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06137274RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation boost for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy, called adaptive radiation boost, for people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can better target the cancer and possibly improve outcomes.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06085781Recruiting
MRI and tumor study for head and neck cancer patients
This trial uses special MRI scans to look at your head, neck, and tumor environment before treatment. It aims to find better ways to understand your cancer and guide care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05919290Recruiting
Study MRI imaging markers in head and neck cancer
This study uses repeat MRI scans to look for imaging “markers” that may help doctors better understand head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may be most relevant if you are planning curative surgery and/or (chemo)radiotherapy and can safely undergo MRI more than once.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05893888RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing three investigational drugs for mouth and lung cancers
This trial tests whether PRV111, PRV211, and PRV131 are safe and work better than expected for certain mouth (lip/oral cavity) cancers and lung cancers. It may help by trying a new approach given directly to the tumor and then monitoring how well it shrinks and how safe it is.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05751512RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new treatment for advanced head and neck cancer that has stopped responding to standard care
This study tests a new drug called MRG003 against two other treatments (cetuximab or methotrexate) for people with a type of head and neck cancer that has come back or spread and has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug can better control the cancer and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05672108RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo delivered into lung tumors using a catheter
This trial studies a treatment that delivers chemotherapy directly to lung tumors by placing a catheter into lung blood vessels. It may help people with lung cancer or lung metastases that are growing despite standard treatment, or who cannot tolerate it.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05414032RecruitingPhase 2
Using leftover DNA signals to guide treatment after head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a drug strategy for people with locally advanced head and neck cancer linked to HPV status. It looks at “molecular residual disease” by measuring tumor DNA in blood and uses early response and tumor test results to see who may benefit.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04747054RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus pembrolizumab for newly diagnosed metastatic head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune system medicine) to radiation can improve outcomes in people newly diagnosed with metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may help the immune system better recognize and fight the cancer alongside radiation.

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.
