How breast cancer treatment changes metabolism and bone
This study looks at how standard breast cancer treatments affect your body’s metabolism and bones in postmenopausal people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better predict and prevent bone and metabolic side effects from treatment.
Copenhagen, DanmarkAges 50–70 - NCT06672471Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotics after head and neck surgery study
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics after certain head and neck surgeries helps prevent infections. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) surgery that involves entering a normally clean area that may have some germs, like the mouth or throat.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06846762Recruiting
DNA/RNA co-testing for advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to first treatment
This study is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors do not have certain genetic changes (called driver mutations) and whose first treatment did not work well or caused bad side effects within 6 months. The researchers want to use a special test (DNA/RNA-NGS) to look for hidden genetic alterations that might explain why the cancer didn't respond.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04754672Recruiting
Exercise training to improve outcomes in advanced colon cancer
This trial studies whether supervised exercise—either aerobic fitness training or muscle-strength training—can improve outcomes for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It compares which approach is most helpful and checks whether it’s safe during first-line chemotherapy.

Understanding Why CAR-T Cell Therapy Works or Fails
This study collects blood and tissue samples from adults receiving CAR-T cell therapy (an advanced cancer treatment) to understand why it works well for some patients but not others. The goal is to find biological markers that predict treatment success.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07122882Enrolling by invitation
Genetic study of drug-resistant lung cancer
This trial looks at the genetic changes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has stopped responding to targeted therapy pills. It aims to understand why the cancer became resistant, which may help find better treatments.

Hormone therapy for obesity-linked endometrial cancer that didn't respond to progestin
This trial tests a combination of two hormone-blocking drugs (GnRHa plus letrozole) for women with early-stage, obesity-related endometrial cancer who haven't responded well to standard hormone therapy alone. The goal is to preserve the uterus and fertility while controlling the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT05312255Recruiting
Non-drug help to improve quality of life in myeloma
This study tests non-chemotherapy supports meant to improve quality of life and immune health for people with multiple myeloma (or related conditions). Depending on the group, it may involve activities, nutrition, and/or a medication like a beta blocker.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04633239RecruitingPhase 1
Testing abemaciclib plus olaparib for recurrent ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies whether adding abemaciclib to olaparib can treat women with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the combination can control the cancer.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistant cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 406 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.
