Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04405115Recruiting
Help for older adults to get better cancer aftercare
This study aims to improve “survivorship care plans,” which are follow-up instructions after chemotherapy, to help older adults feel supported after cancer treatment. You may be able to participate if you’re 65+ and recently finished chemotherapy with the goal of cure and have a plan scheduled with an oncology navigator.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT05786664Recruiting
Breast cancer survivor study collecting your health samples
This study invites women who finished treatment for non-metastatic invasive breast cancer to share health information and biological samples for future research. It may help scientists understand survivorship and improve care after treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04715178Recruiting
Childhood cancer sample and data registry
This study collects stored samples (like blood or tissue) and health information from people affected by cancer at a young age, including some survivors. The goal is to build a library of specimens and data that researchers can use to better understand childhood and young adult cancers.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05006482RecruitingPhase 3
Geriatric education and care support for older cancer survivors
This study tests whether a structured health education and “older adult care” approach—done with your oncology team—can improve support for people after cancer. It includes older cancer survivors and a chosen caregiver, using in-person or video visits for follow-up.
Fremont, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05641961Recruiting
Mobile app for childhood cancer survivors’ long-term follow-up
This study tests a smartphone or tablet app that helps childhood cancer survivors (or their caregivers) manage long-term follow-up care. If you attend the UCSF Survivorship Clinic, the app may make it easier to understand what care you need and stay on track.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06500169Recruiting
Golf exercise study for prostate cancer survivors
This study tests if golf can help men with prostate cancer feel better and stay healthy. It's for men who are on hormone therapy and want to try a gentle, fun exercise.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 55–85 - NCT07030686Recruiting
Exercise and quality of life in cancer survivors
This study looks at how exercise habits are linked to how cancer survivors feel and their health outcomes. It may help understand if starting to exercise improves well-being.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01518400Recruiting
Sharing childhood cancer history to improve survivor care
This study builds a database of people who were diagnosed with cancer as children or teens. It looks at survivors who are done with treatment and currently have no evidence of disease, to help improve long-term follow-up care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06763770Enrolling by invitation
Digital support for young adult cancer survivors
This trial tests a digital program that combines self-management tools and peer mentoring to help young adults who had childhood cancer transition to long-term follow-up care.

What taking part in a survivorship study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there survivorship clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting survivorship studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a survivorship study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a survivorship trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New survivorship studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
