Edmonton, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04902937Recruiting
Testing how added radiation may work by immune and tumor markers
This study looks at people with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer who are getting curative breast surgery followed by planned radiation (sometimes with other anti-cancer medicines). Researchers want to understand whether a patient’s age and certain immune/tumor blood features can predict how well radiation helps.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT04905706Recruiting
3D laparoscopic surgery study for adrenal gland tumors
This study looks at results from using a 3D approach during laparoscopic adrenal gland surgery for tumor removal. It may help surgeons improve how this operation is planned and performed, especially regarding recovery and follow-up outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tumor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,414 recruiting tumor 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 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 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.
