Results are split into Open to enrollment (recruiting or about to start) and closed to new enrollment (invitation-only or active-but-not-recruiting). For most people looking to enroll, focus on the first group.

About these results

Each card links to the trial's full record on ClinicalTrials.gov, where you'll find detailed eligibility, contact info, and study description.

A few terms you'll see:

Recruiting — actively accepting new patients now.
Not yet recruiting — approved and starting soon.
Enrolling by invitation — open only to patients invited by the study team.
Phase 1 — first-in-humans dosing and safety. Phase 2 — does it work for this condition. Phase 3 — head-to-head against the standard of care. Phase 4 — post-approval surveillance.
Randomized — patients are assigned by chance to one of the study arms. Open-label — both you and the team know which treatment you're getting. Placebo-controlled — one group receives an inactive comparator (rare in advanced cancer trials, common in adjuvant or prevention studies).
