Find an open cancer trial

Clinical trials are a normal treatment option to ask about, not a last resort. This searches studies that are currently open, using the public ClinicalTrials.gov registry.

Search by cancer type, and narrow by place if you want to. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere except the registry search itself.

Searches open studies on ClinicalTrials.gov.

What this list is, and is not

  • It is a search, not a match. Whether you are eligible is decided by the trial team against detailed criteria this page does not check. A trial appearing here does not mean you can join it.
  • We do not endorse any study. The records come straight from ClinicalTrials.gov, which is a registry, not a quality rating.
  • Bring it to your oncologist. They can tell you which of these are realistic for your stage, prior treatments and current health — and they may know of studies at their own centre that are not listed yet.

Before you contact a trial

It helps to know what the phases mean, what randomisation involves, what is paid for and what is not, and which questions to ask before agreeing to anything. Trials are not a gamble taken in desperation — for some cancers, particularly rare ones, a trial is the most evidence-supported option available.

Trial records are published by ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the US National Library of Medicine. We pass your search to that registry and show what it returns — we do not assess, rank or endorse any study, and appearing in these results is not a sign that you are eligible. Eligibility is always decided by the trial team.
