Study of biomarkers in MSI-high colorectal cancer patients on immunotherapy
This trial is studying people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSI-high/dMMR) who are starting immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. The goal is to find out which markers in the tumor might predict whether the treatment works well.

A study of elacestrant plus Enhertu for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two targeted drugs (elacestrant and Enhertu) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-low or ultra-low) that did not respond to standard treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06330012Recruiting
Understanding resistance to T-Dxd in HER2+ breast cancer
This study looks at why some HER2-positive breast cancer patients stop responding to the drug T-Dxd (trastuzumab deruxtecan). It aims to find out how resistance develops, which may help improve future treatments.
SeoulAges Any age - NCT06763328RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin for insulin resistance after breast cancer chemo
This study tests if metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help reduce insulin resistance in women who finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to improve long-term health and prevent future problems.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06775678RecruitingPhase 2
Spatial fragmentation plus low-dose radiation for resistant lung cancer
This study tests whether combining a special type of radiation (spatial fragmentation) with low-dose radiation can help people whose lung cancer stopped responding to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If you are eligible, you may receive a new treatment approach to try to shrink the tumors.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06161025RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Raludotatug Deruxtecan for resistant ovarian cancer
This study tests a new drug called Raludotatug Deruxtecan (R-DXd) for people with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if R-DXd can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistant cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 403 recruiting resistant 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 resistant 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 resistant 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.
