This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine combined with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to prevent pancreatic cancer from returning after surgery. It is for patients whose tumors have specific genetic features and who cannot have standard chemotherapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06498154RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping breast surgery for some patients after chemo
This trial tests whether women with certain aggressive breast cancers (HER2-positive without hormone receptors, or triple-negative) can safely skip breast surgery if chemotherapy makes their tumor completely disappear. The goal is to avoid surgery and its side effects when it may no longer be needed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT06498648RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib with gemcitabine for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether adding the targeted drug abemaciclib to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine) works better against certain soft tissue sarcomas. It is for people whose tumors have a normal Rb gene, which may help the drug work.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06500208RecruitingPhase 2
Adebrelimab plus chemo before surgery for high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) plus chemotherapy before surgery for people with high-risk, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors more effectively than chemotherapy alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06501053Recruiting
Contact X-ray therapy for early rectal cancer
This trial tests a special type of contact X-ray (brachytherapy) for early-stage rectal cancer. It may help avoid major surgery by treating the tumor from inside the rectum.
Stockholm, SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501391RecruitingPhase 2
Brain radiation plus chemo-immunotherapy for untreated NSCLC with stable brain metastases
This trial tests whether combining brain radiation with chemotherapy and immunotherapy can help people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the brain but has not yet been treated. It is for those whose tumors do not have certain gene mutations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1).
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06501378RecruitingPhase 2
Brain radiation plus chemotherapy and immunotherapy for lung cancer brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of radiation to the brain plus chemotherapy and immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) for people with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It is for those whose tumors do not have common driver mutations and whose brain metastases are causing symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,001 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.
