Recruiting studies
- NCT04942080Recruiting
Using CALR test results to track certain blood cancers
This study looks at how much of a specific gene change (CALR) you have, and whether it helps doctors diagnose and follow people with certain blood cancers over time. It mainly involves using samples and medical data rather than testing a new drug.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04973306RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery versus chemo-radiation
This trial compares adding immunotherapy to standard chemo-radiation before surgery for locally advanced, operable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and whether patients do better after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04991025RecruitingPhase 2
Certolizumab added to chemo and nivolumab for operable lung cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding certolizumab (an immune-targeting medicine) to standard chemo plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with certain operable non-small cell lung cancers. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment before surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05020860RecruitingPhase 2
Study how early breast cancer responds on imaging and under a microscope
This Phase 2 study looks at how well early breast cancer shrinks with treatment and how that matches with what doctors find after surgery under the microscope. The goal is to learn better ways to predict and assess treatment success.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05026983RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drugs for melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 trial tests two targeted medicines (binimetinib and encorafenib) for melanoma that has spread to the brain. It focuses on people whose tumor has a specific BRAF V600 mutation and who have brain metastases that are progressing or need treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05179447Recruiting
Study testing added treatment after endometrial cancer surgery
This trial looks at how to guide follow-up (adjuvant) treatment after surgery for certain early-stage, higher-risk endometrial cancer. It may help by tailoring care based on patient and tumor details to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05179889RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

This trial tests giving mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy after curative surgery for people with high-risk stage III colon cancer. It aims to lower the chance that cancer comes back.
DaejeonAges 20–75 - NCT05198830RecruitingPhase 2
Adding TRC102 to standard chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding TRC102 to standard chemotherapy plus radiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. It is designed for newly staged patients and aims to help the immune system work better while treating the tumor.
Buena Park, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05251389RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fecal microbiome transplant after anti-PD-1 melanoma not working
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) can help your body respond better to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in advanced skin melanoma. It is for people whose melanoma has progressed despite anti-PD-1 treatment.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05258448Recruiting
Chemo-radiotherapy for advanced, non-surgical lung cancer
This trial studies treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help improve cure chances for patients who can complete the study tests, including heart scans.
Odense CAges 18 years+ - NCT05281406RecruitingPhase 2
Extra chemotherapy if tumor DNA stays positive after osimertinib
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy can help people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer when their cancer-related blood test (liquid biopsy for EGFR DNA) is still positive after 3–4 weeks of starting osimertinib. It may help slow the cancer for longer by treating any remaining disease activity.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05344209RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus or minus vaccine for advanced lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune-boosting cancer medicine) alone or with an added investigational UV1 vaccine in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see whether adding the vaccine improves safety and effectiveness, especially in tumors with high PD-L1 levels.
Drammen, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT05345158Recruiting
Robotic surgery first for early-stage seminoma testicular cancer
This trial studies whether a robotic operation (removing cancerous lymph nodes in the back of the belly) is a good first treatment for certain early-stage testicular seminoma cases. It aims to cure cancer while avoiding or delaying other treatments, and uses follow-up plans to check results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05372640RecruitingPhase 1
Drug combo trial for rare cancers with shared NUT features
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs (ZEN003694 and abemaciclib) in teens and adults with metastatic or unresectable NUT carcinoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors. It may help by finding a safer dose and whether the drug combination can shrink or control tumors that do not respond to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05382663Recruiting
SmartPatch study for adults on dialysis with an arm access
This study looks at how well a wearable patch (“SmartPatch”) can be used safely and correctly in adults who are receiving long-term dialysis through an arm fistula or graft. It may help researchers improve how medical devices are used in people with end-stage kidney disease.
AmmanAges 18 years+ - NCT05398094RecruitingPhase 2
Sotorasib for KRAS-mutant Stage III lung cancer without chemo-radiation
This Phase 2 study tests sotorasib (also called AMG510) in people with Stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and that has a specific KRAS mutation (p.G12C). You may be able to join if you cannot safely receive chemo-radiotherapy at the same time, and the study checks whether sotorasib can help shrink or control the cancer.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05412589RecruitingPhase 2
Testing three cancer medicines for advanced liver cancer
This trial studies how well a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and an anti-angiogenesis medicine works for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It may help slow tumor growth and improve outcomes by attacking cancer in different ways.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for staging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,884 recruiting staging 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 staging 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 staging 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.
