Second Line Trials: Trials for a therapy at the second recurrence


Third Line Trials: Trials for a therapy at the third recurrence


Maintenance Trials: These trials test a therapy, after completion of a line of therapy, usually first-line, to see if it prevents relapse


Surgery Trials: These trials test a new surgical procedure


Diagnostic Trials: These are trials to test a new diagnostic methodology
