Recruiting studies
- NCT01804634RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-intensity stem cell transplant for high-risk solid tumors
This trial tests a less intense type of bone marrow (stem cell) transplant from a partly matched family donor for people with high-risk solid tumors. It aims to lower treatment intensity while still using the donor’s immune system to help control the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–50 - NCT07788196RecruitingPhase 2
Adding anti-HER2 therapy after surgery for early-stage gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted therapy (anti-HER2) to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage gastric cancer that has high HER2 levels. It aims to see if the combination is more effective than chemotherapy alone.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT03214562RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for acute leukemia
This trial studies how well venetoclax combined with chemotherapy treats newly diagnosed or returning (relapsed) or hard-to-treat (refractory) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It’s mainly for people who can’t use standard AML therapy well, or whose disease came back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07301866RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an improved dose of UM171 for cord blood transplant
This trial tests a higher dose of UM171 to make cord blood transplants safer and more effective for people with certain blood cancers or bone marrow diseases. It aims to help patients who don't have a suitable donor.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–67 - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07117045Recruiting
Low-dose CT scan for pancreatic cancer screening
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze low-dose CT scans of the abdomen to detect early signs of pancreatic cancer. It may help find cancer before symptoms appear.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT01515527RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine and decitabine for AML or MDS
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy plan (cladribine, low-dose cytarabine, and decitabine) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It aims to shrink the leukemia/MDS and improve outcomes, including for certain people who may not tolerate standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT07061626RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for recurrent ependymoma and high-grade glioma
This trial tests a radioactive drug (Rhenium-186) injected directly into the brain tumor to see the highest safe dose for children and young adults with ependymoma or high-grade glioma that has come back or is not responding to standard treatments. It may help shrink the tumor without needing surgery right away.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6–21 - NCT07462143RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug plus chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug (RC148) combined with standard chemotherapy as a first treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07358715Recruiting
Liquid biopsy to improve lung cancer screening
This study tests whether a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) can help find lung cancer earlier in people at high risk. It also includes people already diagnosed with lung cancer to refine the test.
SingaporeAges 21–75 - NCT06970912RecruitingPhase 2
ctDNA-Guided Reduced Chemo in HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
This study is testing whether using a ctDNA blood test can help doctors decide if patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer can safely receive less intensive chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still preventing the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05139056RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell virus therapy for recurrent brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment that uses specially modified stem cells (taken from donors) to deliver a virus directly into the tumor during surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for brain tumors that have come back after standard therapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05961124RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose niraparib to reduce interruptions in ovarian maintenance
This trial tests whether a different starting dose (and adjustments) of niraparib can help people with advanced ovarian (or related) cancer stay on treatment without as many dose interruptions. It’s designed for people who have already finished first-line chemotherapy and whose cancer responded.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07505472RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Short radiation plus chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a new approach for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has high-risk features. It combines short-course radiation with chemotherapy (CapeOX) and the immunotherapy drug toripalimab, with or without another drug called surufatinib, before surgery. The goal is to see if adding these drugs helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT07061977RecruitingPhase 3
New cancer drug combo for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests if giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before and after standard chemoradiation works better than the standard approach for people with high-risk cervical cancer that has spread locally.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07012044RecruitingPhase 1
Cedazuridine and decitabine after stem cell transplant for childhood leukemia
This trial tests if adding two chemotherapy drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) along with a growth factor (filgrastim) can help prevent leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant. It is for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are in remission after transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT07108530RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy and transplant for adult acute myeloid leukemia
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and stem cell transplant for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is not a specific subtype called APL. It aims to see if this approach is more effective than standard treatments.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 14–65 - NCT06533579RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD19-positive blood cancers
This trial tests a new gene therapy treatment for people with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma that have the CD19 marker and have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses a virus to deliver a gene to target and kill cancer cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 13–90 - NCT07042438RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant to improve CAR T therapy for lymphoma
This study tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy gut bacteria) can improve outcomes for people with certain lymphomas who have taken strong antibiotics and are about to get CAR T-cell therapy (Yescarta). The goal is to see if rebuilding gut bacteria helps the treatment work better.

St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07504588RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two drug combinations for recurrent ovarian cancer after PARP inhibitor treatment
This trial tests whether a new drug combination (sacituzumab govitecan plus bevacizumab) works better than the usual chemotherapy for ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum treatment and PARP inhibitor maintenance. It may offer a new option for people with certain genetic markers (BRCA mutations or HRD).

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 149 recruiting studies that include High Dose Chemotherapy, 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 High Dose Chemotherapy 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 High Dose Chemotherapy 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 High Dose Chemotherapy or a specific trial is right for you.
