Recruiting studies
- NCT06941948Recruiting
Sleep and immune system in lung cancer
This study looks at how sleep problems affect your body's immune response to lung cancer. It aims to find links between sleep and the tumor environment, which could help improve treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07594262Recruiting
Understanding Inflammation in Pituitary Tumors
This research study examines the inflammatory environment inside pituitary tumors (small glands in the brain) to better understand how they grow and respond to treatment. You would have surgery to remove the tumor as part of your normal care, and researchers would study the removed tissue to learn more.
Rome, LazioAges 18–100 - NCT05038358Recruiting
Study of immune and chemo resistance in colorectal tumors
This study looks at how the immune system around a colorectal tumor relates to resistance to chemotherapy. You may be able to join if you are having surgery soon for colorectal cancer and have not yet had chemotherapy before surgery.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT07069842Recruiting

Biomarkers for immunotherapy in digestive and gynecological cancers
This study looks for new markers in the blood or tumor that could predict how well immunotherapies work for advanced digestive and gynecological cancers. It includes people getting immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy, and also those with certain liver or abdominal metastases that can be surgically removed after chemo.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05975593Recruiting
Study how radiation affects tumor biology in cervical or pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how radiotherapy changes the tumor environment, using lab samples collected during treatment. It may help researchers understand why radiation works differently for different people and could improve future treatment planning.

New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs—fruquintinib (a targeted therapy), pirfenidone (an anti-fibrotic drug), and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1)—for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors more effectively than current options.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06518382Recruiting
Study of leftover tumor after chemo and trastuzumab
This study looks at leftover breast cancer cells (after chemo and targeted therapy) to find out why some cells resist treatment. It may help doctors better understand how to treat HER2-positive breast cancer in the future.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07657494Recruiting
PET scan study for aggressive lymphoma patients
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look at the environment around your lymphoma. The goal is to see if this scan can predict how well your treatment will work and your long-term outcome.
Beijing, Chao YangAges 18 years+ - NCT04842916Recruiting
Study blood, tumor tissue, and preferences to predict stomach cancer response
This study looks at stomach (or stomach–esophagus junction) cancer tissue, treatment details, and patient-reported experiences to better predict how you may respond to standard chemotherapy. It may help personalize future treatment by identifying markers that connect your tumor environment and your expected outcomes.
BrestAges 18–85 - NCT04850729Recruiting
Study links surgery medicines to the stomach tumor environment
This trial looks at how medicines given around the time of stomach cancer surgery may change the “tumor microenvironment,” which is the biology around the tumor. It may help doctors better understand which perioperative treatments work best for locally advanced, operable stomach cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05304858Recruiting
Study of prostate cancer spread using biopsy and lab tests
This trial studies the “microenvironment” around prostate cancer metastases, using specimens taken during biopsy and other scans. It may help researchers understand what drives prostate cancer spread and improve future treatment choices.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05894369Recruiting
Testing how the tumor environment affects pre-op chemo plus immunotherapy
This study looks at people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to see how changes in the “tumor neighborhood” may affect how well treatment works before surgery. If you’re eligible, you would receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy as neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06085781Recruiting
MRI and tumor study for head and neck cancer patients
This trial uses special MRI scans to look at your head, neck, and tumor environment before treatment. It aims to find better ways to understand your cancer and guide care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06182657Recruiting
Nasopharyngeal cancer response to induction chemotherapy
This study looks at how well nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) responds to the first round of chemotherapy before other treatments. It aims to see if the amount of tumor shrinkage can help predict outcomes and guide future care for people with advanced NPC.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06272240Recruiting
Tumor environment study in advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at the environment around ovarian cancer tumors to better understand the disease. It might help researchers find new ways to treat patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Udine, UDAges 18–80 - NCT06500312Recruiting
Lung cancer imaging and genetics study
This study looks at how CT scans of lung cancer can be linked to the tumor's biology and genetics. It aims to understand lung cancer better by combining imaging with lab results.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06536998Recruiting
Liver Cancer Imaging and Tumor Study
This study looks at how liver cancer appears on CT or MRI scans and how it connects with the tumor's biology. It aims to find better ways to understand and treat liver cancer by linking imaging features with the tumor environment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06537037Recruiting
Imaging study of urologic cancer with radiogenomics
This study looks at how scans (CT or MRI) can help doctors understand the environment around urologic tumors. It may lead to better ways to predict treatment response and outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06687876RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin before chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests if taking metformin (a diabetes pill) before standard chemoradiation can make esophageal cancer respond better. You take metformin for 2 weeks before starting standard treatment, and doctors will check your tumor with two endoscopies to see how it changes.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06929845Recruiting
Organoid models for liver cancer study
This study uses tumor samples to create lab-grown mini-livers (organoids) to better understand liver cancer. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and develop new treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tumor microenvironment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 34 recruiting tumor microenvironment 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 tumor microenvironment 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 tumor microenvironment 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.
