- NCT06561399Recruiting
Triple therapy followed by radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation therapy can help people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is for people who have already received a combination of TACE, lenvatinib, and sintilimab and whose tumors have not grown.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07775287RecruitingPhase 3
Petosemtamab plus chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new drug called petosemtamab combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to one prior treatment. The trial aims to see if adding petosemtamab helps the cancer shrink or grow more slowly compared to adding a standard targeted therapy like cetuximab or bevacizumab.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06185556RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New treatments for liver tumors near blood vessels or bile ducts
This trial tests two procedures—irreversible electroporation and stereotactic body radiotherapy—for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver (1–3 tumors near major blood vessels or bile ducts) and can't be surgically removed or treated with heat. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely destroy those hard-to-reach tumors.

Targeted therapy before surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted medicines (befotertinib and bevacizumab) before surgery for people with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed right away. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor and improve surgery outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 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.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07731880Recruiting

Testing a new drug for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SOT109 for people with advanced colorectal cancer that can't be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if it is safe, how well it works, and how the body handles it.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07689201RecruitingPhase 2
Studying a new targeted drug for advanced GIST after other treatments fail
This study tests a new pill called velzatinib for people with GIST that has spread or can't be removed by surgery, after other treatments have stopped working. It may help shrink the tumor or slow its growth.
FukuokaAges 18 years+ - NCT07689851RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiotherapy plus an immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial studies a new immunotherapy drug (SHR-1701) combined with standard chemoradiotherapy for people with advanced stomach or esophagus cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding this immune treatment helps control the tumor better than standard treatments alone.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07681882RecruitingPhase 1
Testing DS1025a in people with advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, DS1025a, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works.

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.
