Treating high-risk cervical cancer with chemoradiation and immunotherapy
This trial tests a new drug called Cardenimumab combined with standard chemotherapy and radiation for women with high-risk cervical cancer. The goal is to see if adding this drug can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors are large, have spread to lymph nodes, or are stage IV.

Chemo plus radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer with normal CA19-9
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX) and radiation therapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has stopped responding to chemotherapy and whose CA19-9 tumor marker levels are normal. The goal is to see if this approach can help when standard treatments are no longer working.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT02491840Recruiting
Testing lab markers that may predict chemotherapy benefit
This pilot study looks at stomach (gastric) and upper stomach/cardia cancer to find lab “markers” that could predict whether chemotherapy before and after surgery will work better. If you qualify, your tumor or blood samples may be tested to understand who benefits most from treatment.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT02393157RecruitingPhase 2
Obinutuzumab plus chemotherapy for certain CD20+ relapsed lymphomas
This Phase 2 study tests how well obinutuzumab (an antibody medicine) combined with chemotherapy works for people whose CD20-positive B-cell lymphoma has come back or didn’t respond to initial treatment. It may help by attacking lymphoma cells that carry the CD20 marker.
Valhalla, New YorkAges 3–31 - NCT06691425Recruiting
Radiation for pancreatic cancer that can't be removed
This trial tests a very focused type of radiation (SBRT) for people with pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread to other organs but can't be removed with surgery. It may be an option if you are medically unable to have surgery or choose not to.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06696768RecruitingPhase 1
New drug plus standard chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial combines a new experimental drug (emavusertib) with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX plus bevacizumab) for people with stage IV colorectal cancer who have not yet received chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective, potentially offering a new first-line treatment option.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06698458Recruiting
DaRT radiation plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called DaRT (Alpha DaRT) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. The goal is to see if adding this radiation treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–120 - NCT06704191RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bladder cancer treatment at home
This trial tests whether patients with early-stage bladder cancer can safely receive their usual bladder chemotherapy or immunotherapy at home instead of in the clinic. It aims to make treatment more convenient while keeping it effective.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06704945RecruitingPhase 3
Skipping armpit surgery after good chemo response
This trial tests whether it's safe to skip armpit surgery in people whose breast cancer has responded well to chemotherapy and whose lymph nodes appear cancer-free on ultrasound. It aims to reduce side effects like arm swelling while still controlling the cancer.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04016389Recruiting
Neoadjuvant chemo then fertility-sparing surgery for cervical cancer
This study looks at whether giving chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) can shrink certain cervical cancers enough to allow fertility-sparing surgery. It may help some people avoid removing the uterus, while still treating the cancer effectively.
Houston, TexasAges 18–40 - NCT06687291Recruiting
Thinking and memory after stomach or esophagus cancer surgery
This study looks at how surgery and chemotherapy for stomach or esophageal cancer may affect your thinking, memory, and other cognitive functions. Researchers want to understand these changes to better support patients.
HuddingeAges 18 years+ - NCT06687772RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing brain relapse in high-risk lymphoma with stem cell transplant
This trial tests if high doses of chemotherapy (thiotepa and carmustine) followed by a stem cell transplant from your own cells can prevent lymphoma from coming back in the brain or spinal cord. It's for people with aggressive lymphoma that has a higher risk of spreading to the central nervous system.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–75 - NCT06682442Recruiting
Chemotherapy-guided radiation for EBV-related nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the response to initial chemotherapy can guide the dose of radiation given to patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to tailor treatment to reduce side effects while still being effective.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06690840RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy to activate immune cells in people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for those who have had immunotherapy before during early treatment but not for advanced disease.
Monza, MonzaAges 18 years+ - NCT06692738RecruitingPhase 3
Is a new immunotherapy better than Keytruda for squamous lung cancer?
This trial tests a new drug called Rilvegostomig against the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda), both combined with chemotherapy, as a first treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.

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.
