Blood test for breast cancer follow-up
This trial uses a simple blood test (ScreenCell device) to look for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in women. It aims to see if CTCs help monitor breast cancer during follow-up, including for those with metastatic or newly diagnosed breast cancer, as well as healthy volunteers.
Neuilly-sur-SeineAges 18 years+ - NCT06830239RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant dostarlimab for resectable stage III colon cancer
This trial tests an investigational immunotherapy drug called dostarlimab given before surgery for colon cancer. It is for people whose tumor is MMR-proficient (also called MSS) and is large enough or has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor before surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06834126RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with radiation for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding papaverine (a drug) to radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced rectal cancer avoid surgery and keep their rectum. It is for patients who have already had chemotherapy and want a non-surgical approach.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06866262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inulin gel with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer

Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06869239Recruiting
Predicting response to PD-L1 inhibitor after chemoradiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This study uses a blood test to see if it can predict how well the PD-L1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy drug) works after standard chemotherapy and radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to find better ways to match treatment to patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06877169Recruiting
Staged heart and kidney transplant study
This study compares two ways of doing a combined heart and kidney transplant. It looks at doing the surgeries in separate stages instead of all at once, to see if that is safer or works better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06878274RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after chemo-immunotherapy and surgery for stage III lung cancer
This trial is testing whether giving radiation therapy after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back in people who have already had chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for patients whose cancer had spread to chest lymph nodes and who still have some cancer left in those nodes after surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06884722Recruiting
Brain study of social perception in Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with Parkinson's disease process social cues, like faces and emotions. It may help researchers learn more about how Parkinson's affects social thinking.
BronAges 30–75 - NCT06896890RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inhaled cisplatin for stage IV lung cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the chemotherapy drug cisplatin—as a dry powder you inhale—for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who have not yet started treatment. The goal is to see if this inhaled form is safe and effective when added to standard immunotherapy or chemotherapy.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06901960Recruiting
Monitoring high potassium with a smart ECG device in kidney disease
This trial tests if a portable ECG device can help detect high potassium levels early in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. It aims to make monitoring easier without frequent blood tests.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–99 - NCT06902051Recruiting
Side-lying position for left breast cancer radiation
This trial tests whether lying on your right side during radiation therapy for left breast cancer can reduce side effects. It is for women who have had surgery for newly diagnosed left breast cancer and need radiation.
Guangzhou, Guangdong ProvinseAges 18–70 - NCT06902311RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation after lumpectomy for early breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more intense course of daily radiation therapy (called ultra hypo-fractionation) given after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to reduce the number of treatment visits while keeping the same high level of effectiveness and safety.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT06910761RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for cancer spread to brain lining
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation to the brain and spine (craniospinal irradiation) can help control cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease) in people with breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve symptoms and slow disease progression.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06917573RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a drug called cemiplimab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced lung cancer that has high PD-L1 levels. It uses a simple blood test to track how well the treatment is working.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06926543RecruitingPhase 3
Timing of radiation with chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation therapy to people with stage IIB or III breast cancer: either at the same time as chemotherapy or after chemotherapy finishes. It aims to find which approach works better while keeping side effects manageable.
Vishkhapatnam, Andhra PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT06927180RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SHR-A1811 plus pertuzumab before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (SHR-A1811 and pertuzumab) given before surgery to shrink HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes for patients with early-stage but high-risk disease.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT06930521Recruiting
Monitoring heart health during HER2 therapy for breast cancer
This study tracks how well the heart handles HER2-targeted therapy (like Herceptin) during the first year of treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It helps keep you safe by checking heart function closely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–79 - NCT06931548Recruiting
Preserving the breast fold in reconstruction
This study tests a surgical technique to better preserve the natural fold under the breast (the inframammary fold) during implant-based breast reconstruction. It may help improve the cosmetic result after breast cancer treatment.
Moscow, Skolkovo Innovation CenterAges 18 years+ - NCT06945484Recruiting
Exercise program for lung cancer before surgery

- Are there clinical trials for staging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,891 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.
