BrusselsAges 12–36 - NCT07622836Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus QL1706 for high-risk triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether adding a new immunotherapy drug called QL1706 to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help patients with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination prevents cancer from coming back.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–40 - NCT05529940RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFIRINOX around surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX before and after surgery versus giving it mainly after surgery for people with resectable pancreatic duct cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by timing the treatment around the operation.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06709417RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo and radiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial is testing whether giving a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) with chemotherapy, followed by radiation plus more chemotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy), can help people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–75 - NCT07606599RecruitingPhase 3
New drug BL-M07D1 for advanced biliary tract cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M07D1 against standard chemotherapy for biliary tract cancer that has spread or is locally advanced and has stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy. The trial is looking for patients whose cancer has a specific genetic marker to see if this new treatment works better.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06714604RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing standard vs. longer chemo before pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether taking chemotherapy for a longer period before surgery can help people with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if a longer treatment course leads to better outcomes.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 18–90 - NCT07603375RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy and radiation for esophageal adenocarcinoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs given together with radiation therapy, followed by additional chemotherapy, for newly diagnosed adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer) in the esophagus or where the esophagus meets the stomach. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve survival.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06718309RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy with targeted radiation before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07594925RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation plus immunotherapy and chemotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of brief radiation therapy followed by immunotherapy and chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients avoid or reduce surgery while controlling their cancer.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07562711RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Test to Guide Chemotherapy After Colon Cancer Surgery
This study uses a simple blood test to detect cancer DNA after surgery for early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to help doctors decide whether chemotherapy is truly needed based on the blood test results, rather than giving it to everyone.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07562659RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Test to Guide Chemotherapy After Colon Cancer Surgery
This study helps doctors decide whether you need chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery by checking for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to give chemotherapy only to patients who truly need it, based on what the blood test shows.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07564453RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for newly diagnosed B-cell leukemia
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (using the immune system to fight cancer) and chemotherapy in adults aged 15–65 with newly diagnosed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), a blood 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.
