Recruiting studies
- NCT03500133RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose chemotherapy and less radiation for childhood Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies a treatment plan for children with classical Hodgkin lymphoma that uses lower total doses of chemotherapy and reduced radiation. The goal is to help control the lymphoma while lowering long-term side effects.
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 2–18 - NCT06829797RecruitingPhase 2
Iparomlimab and chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone for stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab, combined as QL1706) to standard chemotherapy before surgery works better than chemotherapy alone for people with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be surgically removed.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07061769Enrolling by invitation
Using a gentle head device to help with nerve pain from chemo
This trial tests a low-intensity cranial PEMF device to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Participants use the device at home and receive text messages to track their symptoms.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT06946901RecruitingPhase 2
Heated chemo in abdomen plus IV chemo for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a treatment that combines heating chemotherapy drugs and delivering them directly into the abdomen (HIPEC) with standard chemotherapy through a vein. It is for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen but not to other organs, and who have not had prior cancer treatment.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07674732RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation with immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation followed by a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a targeted drug (bevacizumab) for locally advanced rectal cancer that is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS). The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor enough for surgery while avoiding more extensive radiation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04385290RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing midostaurin plus gemtuzumab for newly diagnosed AML
This trial studies whether combining two medicines—midostaurin and gemtuzumab (with standard chemotherapy)—can improve outcomes for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is testing a first-line treatment plan tailored to specific genetic changes in the leukemia.
München, BavariaAges 18–75 - NCT06642441Recruiting
Vitamin D for reducing chemotherapy side effects in breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D supplements can reduce side effects from chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. It is for patients with low vitamin D levels who are about to start their first chemotherapy treatment.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06791603Recruiting

This study tests whether education delivered through social media videos can help breast cancer patients manage chemotherapy side effects. If you are starting chemotherapy for the first time and can use a smartphone, you may be able to join.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06767800RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TQB2102 with immunotherapy for HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (TQB2102, benmelstobart, and pembrolizumab) with or without chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than current treatments.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06904235RecruitingPhase 2
A trial testing IV NEPA to prevent nausea and vomiting in kids getting strong chemo
This trial tests a medicine called IV NEPA (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) to prevent nausea and vomiting in children who are receiving strong chemotherapy. Patients will receive at least one cycle of chemotherapy that is highly likely to cause these side effects.
AthensAges birth–18 years - NCT05460000RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib after early ovarian cancer chemo—short vs long
This trial tests whether taking niraparib (a maintenance anti-cancer pill) for a shorter time after 3 cycles of platinum chemotherapy works as well as taking it after 6 cycles. It is for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has been fully removed (no visible tumor) and is “HRD-positive,” meaning it has certain DNA repair weaknesses.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07133750RecruitingPhase 2
PM8002 plus chemo for untreated metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy (PM8002 plus chemotherapy) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer who have not had prior treatment. It may be an option if your cancer is not MSI-H/dMMR and you are in good overall health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04821778RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemoradiotherapy for esophageal and stomach junction cancer
This Phase 3 study tests a cancer treatment plan that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with esophageal or esophagus-stomach junction cancer. It aims to see whether this approach works better than standard care for cancers at stages I to IVA.
Anyang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05775419Recruiting
Chemo and radiation, with or without extra chemo after
This trial compares standard chemo plus radiation versus the same treatment plus extra “consolidation” chemo afterward. It’s for people with a type of esophageal cancer that can’t be removed with surgery, to see if the added treatment works better and is still safe.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06275958RecruitingPhase 3
Lower starting chemo dose for older adults with metastatic colorectal cancer
This study tests whether starting with a lower dose of chemotherapy works as well as the standard dose for people aged 70 and older with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find a treatment that is effective but gentler, with fewer side effects.
's-HertogenboschAges 70 years+ - NCT06809101Recruiting
Home blood test monitoring for cancer patients on chemotherapy
This study tests whether cancer patients can do their own blood counts at home using a finger-prick test. It will help see if home monitoring is a good option for people receiving chemotherapy.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06848348RecruitingPhase 2
Halneuron for chemotherapy-induced nerve pain
This trial tests whether the drug Halneuron can safely reduce nerve pain caused by common chemotherapy drugs (platinum and taxane). It is for people whose nerve pain started after chemotherapy and whose cancer is not currently getting worse.
Sheffield, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06860269RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New immune therapy and stem cell transplant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This study tests adding new immunotherapy drugs and possibly a stem cell transplant to the first treatment for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to see if these approaches help people live longer without the cancer coming back.

Before-surgery radiation and chemo for rectal cancer
This study tests a specific “before surgery” treatment (radiation plus chemotherapy), followed by more chemotherapy to improve outcomes in people with certain types of rectal cancer. You might be considered if your cancer is locally advanced but not spread to distant organs.
LarissaAges 18–80 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,007 recruiting chemotherapy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a chemotherapy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a chemotherapy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
