AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07733830RecruitingPhase 2
Testing immunotherapy before or after chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial compares two treatment sequences for people with locally advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. One group gets immunotherapy first, then chemoradiation; the other gets chemoradiation first, then immunotherapy. The goal is to find which order works better.

Tremelimumab and Durvalumab for Untreated Advanced Liver Cancer
This Italian study follows patients with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who receive a combination immunotherapy treatment called STRIDE for the first time. The trial tracks how well the treatment works, how it affects quality of life, and its safety in people with moderate to severe liver disease.

Study of BL-B01D1 plus immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new drug combination (BL-B01D1 plus an immunotherapy) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have not had prior treatment for their advanced disease. The goal is to see if the combination works better at shrinking or controlling the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07648914RecruitingPhase 3
BL-B01D1 versus chemotherapy for advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug called BL-B01D1 against standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative, and has stopped responding to hormone treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 464 recruiting unresectable 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 unresectable 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 unresectable 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.
