Comparing two creams for multiple actinic keratoses
This study compares a cream with fluorouracil alone to a cream with fluorouracil plus calcipotriene for people with several actinic keratoses (a type of rough, precancerous spot caused by sun damage). The goal is to see if the combination works better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05381597RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Skin cream treatment for small early non-melanoma skin cancers
This study tests whether 5-fluorouracil and calcipotriene (medicines used on the skin) can treat certain small, early skin cancers or pre-cancers without surgery. It’s for specific types and locations of lesions and aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05536856RecruitingPhase 4
5-fluorouracil skin treatment for stable, localized vitiligo

Test cream and injection treatment for skin squamous cell cancer
This early-phase study tests whether combining an injection into the skin lesion with a topical cream can treat squamous cell skin cancer. It may help shrink the cancer and improve control in people whose tumor is in the lower legs or feet.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04380545RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo and immune drug for unresectable liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether nivolumab combined with fluorouracil and interferon alpha can treat fibrolamellar liver cancer that cannot be safely removed with surgery. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and to see how safe the combination is.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT04437329RecruitingPhase 3
Nedaplatin vs cisplatin for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy drugs—nedaplatin versus cisplatin—in people newly diagnosed with a specific type of nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see which drug works better and/or has a safer side-effect profile when given as part of standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05718492Recruiting
Tested HAIC for liver cancer after prior immunotherapy
This trial studies HAIC, a type of targeted treatment delivered into the liver, for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has already been treated with immune and anti-blood-vessel therapies. It aims to see whether HAIC can help control the cancer safely after those earlier treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Fluorouracil?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 175 recruiting studies that include Fluorouracil, 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 Fluorouracil 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 Fluorouracil 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 Fluorouracil or a specific trial is right for you.
