Testing S-1 after stomach cancer surgery with or without sequence therapy
This Phase 3 study compares two ways of giving S-1 medicine after curative stomach cancer surgery in stage III disease. It aims to see whether the sequential approach improves outcomes while keeping treatment safe.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05652192RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus chemotherapy and immunotherapy for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation (SBRT) to chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug can help people with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer live longer and control tumors. It may help by combining local tumor treatment with whole-body immune support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05905315RecruitingPhase 2
Vulvar cancer treatment: chemoradiation vs chemotherapy then surgery
This Phase 2 trial compares two treatment approaches for some women with vulvar squamous cell cancer: chemoradiation first, or chemotherapy first followed by surgery. The goal is to see which strategy works better or is safer for tumors that are hard to remove without major pelvic surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05715931RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery chemotherapy plus anti-HER2 and anti–immune therapy for HER2 stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and toripalimab around the time of surgery for HER2-positive, locally advanced stomach or esophagus-stomach junction cancer. It aims to shrink the cancer and reduce the chance it comes back by attacking it through more than one pathway.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05651594RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding propranolol (a common blood-pressure/heart medicine) can improve outcomes when used with pembrolizumab plus standard chemotherapy. It is for people with advanced esophageal or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05642611RecruitingPhase 3
Cooling and compression for nerve protection during chemotherapy
This study tests whether using cooling and/or compression on the arms or legs can prevent nerve damage that can happen from certain chemotherapy drugs. If you get eligible chemo soon, this may help lower the chance of painful numbness or tingling during treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05455918RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin for high-risk germ cell tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific chemotherapy combination (paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) for children and teens with newly diagnosed, high-risk germ cell tumors. It aims to improve outcomes by treating cancer cells with a stronger chemo plan.
SeoulAges 1–20 - NCT05515315RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to chemotherapy before a combined course of chemotherapy and radiation can better treat locally advanced, non-surgable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It’s for adults who cannot have surgery and may help shrink the cancer and improve control of the disease.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT05376553Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Test cemiplimab plus chemo before treatment for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests cemiplimab (an immune system medicine) given with “induction” chemotherapy before the main treatment for locally advanced squamous cell head and neck cancer. It’s designed to see how well this treatment is tolerated and to learn about immune responses that may help future patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05265208RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus chemo after liver surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial studies giving a special internal radiation treatment along with capecitabine (a chemotherapy) for liver cancer related to bile ducts, after planned surgical removal. It may help improve control of the cancer in cases where surgeons think the edges of the removed tumor may be too close.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05378919RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new pre-surgery treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares a pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) treatment plan versus the standard plan for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safe before surgery.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT05563012RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus chemo and PD-1 immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving a short course of radiation before surgery, along with chemotherapy and a PD-1 immunotherapy drug, can improve treatment outcomes for locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and strengthen the immune system’s attack on cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05551507RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug IN10018 plus chemotherapy for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests IN10018 together with standard chemotherapy in people with high-grade serous ovarian (or related) cancer that has come back or progressed soon after platinum treatment. The goal is to see if adding IN10018 can improve cancer control and safety.
AnyangAges 18 years+ - NCT05300269RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug SHR-1701 with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04992780RecruitingPhase 2
Hypo-fractionated radiation versus standard radiation for lung cancer
This study compares two different radiation schedules for stage III non-small cell lung cancer, both combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It aims to see whether giving radiation in a different way can work as well (or better) and be safe while treating the cancer.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04750122RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug-screening guided treatment before surgery for HER2 breast cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that is chosen using drug-testing in a lab (to see which medicines may work best) before surgery. It is for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, aiming to improve outcomes by guiding the right treatment early.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,994 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.
