Granisetron skin patch versus ondansetron for transplant nausea
This study compares a granisetron skin patch to ondansetron tablets/medicine to see which works better to prevent nausea and vomiting around stem cell transplant. It may help your care team choose the most effective anti-nausea option for transplant patients.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT06037980RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether receiving chemotherapy (cisplatin, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk bile duct or gallbladder cancer. It compares this approach to going straight to surgery.
AnconaAges 18–75 - NCT06046794Recruiting
Gemcitabine for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests gemcitabine chemotherapy in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who cannot take FOLFIRINOX. It aims to see how well gemcitabine works based on a specific tumor marker called GemCore.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06052839RecruitingPhase 2
Pulsed chemo plus pembrolizumab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy (pulsed doses) together with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) for people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread and cannot be cured with local treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard approaches.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06048926Enrolling by invitation
Carrelizumab with chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests combining the immunotherapy drug carrelizumab with standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink or control the tumor.
NanjingAges 18–75 - NCT06050317RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab plus chemo and radiation for inoperable pancreatic cancer
This trial combines the immunotherapy drug sintilimab with chemotherapy and radiation for people with inoperable locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have not received prior systemic treatment. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06052332Recruiting
Comparing two pre-surgery treatments for older adults with rectal cancer
This study compares two approaches to treating rectal cancer in people age 70 and older who have not yet had surgery. One approach gives chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, and the other adds more chemotherapy after radiation. The goal is to find which plan works better with fewer side effects.
Antwerp, AntwerpenAges 70 years+ - NCT03954171Recruiting
Study for ovarian cancer showing resistance to platinum chemotherapy
This study looks at ovarian cancer patients who are planned to receive platinum-based chemotherapy and who may have resistance issues. It may help doctors learn better ways to treat ovarian cancer when platinum drugs don’t work well.

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.
