Recruiting studies
- NCT06898398Recruiting
TACE before surgery for large liver cancer
This trial combines a procedure called TACE (which blocks the blood supply to the tumor) with surgery to remove a large liver tumor. It is for people newly diagnosed with a large liver cancer that hasn't spread and can be completely removed with surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04817566Recruiting
Brain stimulation and training for thinking problems after breast cancer
This study tests whether brain stimulation plus cognitive training can improve thinking and memory problems in women after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may help if you still feel “foggy” or have trouble concentrating months after treatment.
GreifswaldAges 18–65 - NCT06257017RecruitingPhase 2
Using DNA tests to guide chemotherapy after bladder cancer surgery
This trial checks if a DNA blood test can help decide who needs extra chemo after bladder or upper urinary tract cancer surgery. It tests whether watching for cancer DNA in the blood can match patients to the right treatment.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT06911606RecruitingPhase 2
Serplulimab with chemotherapy before surgery for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding an immunotherapy drug called serplulimab to standard chemotherapy before surgery for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients who have not received prior treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07224815Recruiting
DNA markers to predict chemo response in advanced colon cancer
This study uses a blood test to look for specific DNA changes that may help predict how well chemotherapy works in people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find markers that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225374RecruitingPhase 2
Avelumab after chemotherapy for upper tract urothelial cancer
This trial is for people with upper tract urothelial cancer who have already had surgery and chemotherapy (cisplatin-based). It tests whether continuing with a drug called avelumab (an immunotherapy) can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Seoul, GangnamAges 20 years+ - NCT07227636RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer after surgery
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, for people with colorectal cancer who have had surgery and chemotherapy but still have detectable cancer DNA in their blood. The goal is to see if these drugs can help clear the remaining cancer cells.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07226115Recruiting
Predicting chemotherapy outcomes for colorectal cancer
This trial uses a special test on your tumor tissue to see if it can predict how well chemotherapy will work for you. If you have had chemotherapy for stage II or III colorectal cancer after surgery, your stored tumor sample may help develop a tool that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07225855Recruiting
Support for older adults with head and neck cancer and their caregivers
This trial tests whether a special geriatric assessment (a check-up for older adults) and extra support can help people aged 60+ with head and neck cancer feel better during chemotherapy and radiation. It also looks at how this helps their family or friend caregivers.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07229040RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney protection during heated chemotherapy surgery for ovarian cancer
This trial tests two drugs (cilastatin and thiosulfate) to see which one better protects the kidneys during surgery that uses heated cisplatin chemotherapy directly in the abdomen. It is for women with advanced ovarian cancer whose disease is mostly in the belly.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–75 - NCT07226154Recruiting
Predicting chemo response in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at blood samples to see if we can predict how well pancreatic cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07222657RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing spray before chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a freezing spray (cryotherapy) to shrink esophageal tumors before standard chemotherapy. It may help reduce tumor size and improve treatment outcomes.
Weston, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225270RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Rina-S plus care for ovarian cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding Rina-S to standard maintenance therapy helps prevent cancer from returning in people with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer who have responded to second-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07221474RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a personalized vaccine plus chemo for lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental personalized cancer vaccine (V940) combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine helps the immune system fight the cancer better.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05484973Recruiting
Portable scalp cooling to help prevent chemotherapy hair loss
This study tests whether a portable cooling cap system can reduce hair loss for women with breast cancer who are planning certain chemotherapy treatments. It may help you keep more of your hair while you receive chemotherapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07221253RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Rilvegostomig or Durvalumab plus chemo for biliary tract cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (rilvegostomig or durvalumab) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It aims to see if these combinations work better than chemo alone.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07213674RecruitingPhase 3
A study of xaluritamig plus abiraterone for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (xaluritamig plus abiraterone) for men with a type of advanced prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone therapy but has not yet been treated with chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the standard options your doctor might choose.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216105RecruitingPhase 1
New immune cell treatment for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment using specially engineered immune cells (called FT836) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It may be given alone or with chemotherapy and/or other antibody medicines. The study aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218809RecruitingPhase 3
Comparison of AZD5335 vs standard treatments for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug, AZD5335, against standard treatments (mirvetuximab soravtansine or chemotherapy) for women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. It aims to see if AZD5335 works better based on the level of a protein called FRα on your tumor cells.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06630793Recruiting
Comparing types of radiation for anal cancer
This study compares standard radiation (IMRT) with a newer, more precise type (IMPT) both given alongside chemotherapy for anal cancer. It aims to see which is better at controlling cancer and reducing side effects.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT06829459RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs chemo for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (Glumetinib and Osimertinib) against standard chemotherapy for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to initial targeted therapy. It may be an option if your tumor has a specific genetic change called MET amplification or overexpression.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07218913RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a drug to reduce ear damage from chemo in testicular cancer

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.
