BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06444009RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemo before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy along with chemotherapy before surgery can help treat locally advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06451211RecruitingPhase 2
Immuno-chemo before surgery for thick or large stomach cancers
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy given before surgery to shrink stomach cancers that are particularly thick or large. It aims to see if this approach can make these hard-to-treat tumors easier to remove and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06455410RecruitingPhase 2
GP plus adebrelimab vs. chemo alone for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy drugs (GP) plus an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) before standard treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone for shrinking tumors.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06455904Recruiting
Cycling exercise during chemo for breast cancer
This trial tests whether a special cycling exercise program during chemotherapy can help women with breast cancer. It is for patients who are about to start a common type of chemotherapy and want to add physical activity to their treatment plan.
ColmarAges 18 years+ - NCT06456892RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for children with hard-to-treat rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial tests if adding the immunotherapy drug Pucotenlimab to standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for children and teens with a type of muscle cancer (rhabdomyosarcoma) that is hard to treat. It may offer a new option for patients whose tumors are difficult to remove with surgery alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1–18 - NCT06458244Recruiting
Stem cell transplant for high-risk CBF-AML
This trial tests a stem cell transplant (using donor cells) for people with a high-risk form of acute myeloid leukemia called CBF-AML. The goal is to see if this transplant can help patients who have a higher chance of the leukemia coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06458257Recruiting
Stem cell transplant for high-risk AML with CEBPA mutation
This trial tests whether a stem cell transplant from a donor can help people with a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a high risk of coming back. It is for patients who have the CEBPA gene mutation and other high-risk features.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06462092RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sacituzumab Govitecan and Spinal Chemo for Breast Cancer Spread to Spinal Fluid
This trial tests a combination of a targeted antibody-drug (sacituzumab govitecan) and chemotherapy given into the spinal fluid. It is for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the membranes around the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastases). The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer in the central nervous system.

- Are there clinical trials for chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,003 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.
