Muzaffarpur, BiharAges 18–99 - NCT07044362Recruiting
Histotripsy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding histotripsy—a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that destroys liver tumors—to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may be an option if your cancer is mainly in the liver and you are starting or have recently had chemotherapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06598527RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests adding targeted radiation before standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with stage 2-3 non-small cell lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the radiation helps shrink the tumor more before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07005570RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation and chemo with or without immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) and a targeted therapy (bevacizumab) to short-course radiation followed by chemo can improve outcomes for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer that is pMMR/MSS. The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery and possibly avoid the need for more extensive treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06958432RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter radiation before chemo and immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation before chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug to shrink mid-to-lower rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to improve treatment response and reduce side effects, potentially allowing for less invasive surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06908668RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus chemo with or without radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests adding a drug called adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy and possibly radiation, given before surgery for breast cancer that is HER2-negative and locally advanced.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,988 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.
