Study comparing two ways to give tislelizumab plus chemo for stomach cancer
This trial compares a shot under the skin versus an IV infusion of tislelizumab, given along with chemotherapy, for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if the shot works as well as the IV and may be more convenient.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06988852RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy combination given directly into the liver's blood supply (called HAIC) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery yet. The goal is to shrink the liver tumors enough so they can be surgically removed.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06016062RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of RC148 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called RC148, both alone and combined with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard therapy. It includes several groups for specific cancers (like non-small cell lung, cervical, stomach, and ovarian cancer) to see if RC148 can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06463444RecruitingPhase 1
Precision treatment for inoperable liver cancer
This trial tests a new precision approach for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It uses a computer model to analyze your tumor and genetic information to see if combining HAIC (chemotherapy directly into the liver), lenvatinib (a targeted drug), and a PD-1 inhibitor (immunotherapy) is the right treatment for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable?
- 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.
