Blood test to guide chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer
This trial is for people with stage II colon cancer who are not currently getting chemotherapy. It uses a blood test to look for tumor DNA, so doctors can decide if chemotherapy might help prevent the cancer from coming back.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06437977RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery treatment with radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for stage II-III NSCLC
This trial tests whether combining radiation, an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), and chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with resectable stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard chemotherapy alone.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06446882Recruiting
HER2DX test to guide treatment for early HER2+ breast cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for staging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,890 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.
