Recruiting studies
- NCT06753747RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Afatinib and palbociclib for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (afatinib and palbociclib) for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has grown after previous treatment. It is designed for those whose cancer cells have too much of a protein called EGFR.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT02491099RecruitingPhase 2
Afatinib for recurring HER2-positive uterine cancer
This trial tests afatinib, a targeted pill, in people whose uterine serous cancer has a specific HER2 (HER2/neu) tumor marker. It aims to shrink tumors or control the cancer when it keeps coming back.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT06085755RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug therapy for HER2-low stomach cancer
This trial tests two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan and afatinib, together for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has low levels of the HER2 protein. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors or slows cancer growth.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06302621RecruitingPhase 1
Pemigatinib plus afatinib for advanced solid tumors with FGFR changes
This trial tests two targeted drugs, pemigatinib and afatinib, together for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific FGFR genetic change. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working or aren't available.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06648096RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing afatinib for head and neck cancer in Fanconi anemia patients
This trial tests whether the targeted drug afatinib can shrink advanced head and neck cancers in people who also have Fanconi anemia. It is for patients whose tumors cannot be surgically removed and have not responded to or cannot have other standard treatments.
HanoverAges 18 years+ - NCT06709859RecruitingPhase 2
Afatinib plus chemo for unresectable stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining afatinib (a targeted pill for EGFR mutations) with chemotherapy can shrink advanced stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) enough to make surgery possible. It is for people whose cancer has not been treated yet and has a specific EGFR mutation.
Jinan, ShangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06759857Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
New drug vs. afatinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial compares a new drug (FHND9041) to a standard targeted therapy (afatinib) for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation. It aims to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 1.5 years+ - NCT06062823RecruitingPhase 2
Newer EGFR pill for advanced lung cancer with specific mutations
This trial tests a newer type of EGFR targeted therapy pill for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment and whose cancer has a specific genetic change called a PACC mutation. The goal is to see if the drug works well for this group.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT04183712RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug treatment after gallbladder surgery using blood test monitoring
This Phase 2 trial tests a targeted treatment (GEMOX) given after gallbladder cancer surgery. It uses a blood test that looks for cancer-related DNA to monitor recurrence and guide care, aiming to improve outcomes for people with higher-risk disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05432518RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Pilot study for surgery and new medicine in recurrent glioblastoma
This early study looks at a treatment plan (including resection/surgery and an added medicine) for glioblastoma that has come back after standard therapy. The goal is to see how well it controls tumor growth and whether it is tolerable.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05467189Recruiting
Testing anti-cancer drugs in people age 65 and older
This study looks at how anti-cancer (chemotherapy) drugs are used in adults age 65+ who have cancer. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best and are safest for older adults.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–100 - NCT06071013RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nintedanib plus EGFR inhibitor for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—nintedanib and an EGFR inhibitor—for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has stopped responding to their first EGFR inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see if adding nintedanib can help control the cancer again.
TaichungAges 20–70 - NCT06741982RecruitingPhase 1
Immune-targeted therapy and virus treatment before head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of immune therapy, targeted drugs, and a virus-based treatment before surgery for head and neck cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–70 - NCT02925234RecruitingPhase 2
Basket trial of reused cancer drugs matched to tumor markers
This trial tests cancer drugs that are already approved for other cancers, chosen based on specific changes found in your tumor. It may help people whose cancer is growing despite standard treatment (or who no longer have standard options).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Afatinib?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting studies that include Afatinib, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Afatinib trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Afatinib an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Afatinib or a specific trial is right for you.
