Recruiting studies
- NCT07279077RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation with chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk colon cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk colon cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.

Chemo and immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding two types of immunotherapy (cemiplimab with either fianlimab or REGN7075) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not been treated before. It may help shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery that preserves the ability to control bowel movements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06288360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for PD-L1-negative cervical cancer
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy before surgery can help treat cervical cancer that is PD-L1 negative. It's for women with larger tumors (stage IB3 to IIB) who have not been treated yet.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06823427RecruitingPhase 2

Short-course radiation for advanced cervical cancer in Uganda
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (fewer, higher-dose sessions) for women in Uganda with locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as or better than standard radiation while reducing treatment time.
Kampala, KampalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06894797Recruiting
Chemo and radiation before and after surgery for rectal cancer
This study tests a sequence of chemotherapy and radiation before and after surgery for rectal cancer. It compares giving more chemo between the end of radiation and surgery (consolidation) versus giving some chemo before radiation starts (induction). The goal is to see which order works better.

Study of BL-M07D1 and Pembrolizumab for HER2+ Lung Cancer
This study tests a new drug combination, BL-M07D1 plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy), for people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer that has high levels of HER2 protein. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective for people who have not been treated with HER2-targeting drugs before.

Envafolimab plus chemo for esophageal cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (Envafolimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer that has not spread far. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06888843RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for colorectal cancer in patients 70+
This trial tests two chemotherapy drugs, capecitabine alone or with oxaliplatin, in people aged 70 or older after surgery for stage III colorectal cancer. The goal is to find out which treatment works better to prevent cancer from coming back.
Nizhny NovgorodAges 70–90 - NCT06293625RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for colon cancer in older adults
This trial tests whether giving 6 weeks of chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery can help people aged 70 and older with locally advanced colon cancer. It aims to make treatment safer and more effective for older adults.
DijonAges 70 years+ - NCT07255664RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TIL therapy for advanced colorectal or prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy that uses your own white blood cells (TILs) to fight advanced colorectal or prostate cancer. You will have surgery to remove a tumor, then your TIL cells are grown in a lab and given back to you along with other treatments to boost your immune system.
FrankfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT07244705RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ABT-301 plus tislelizumab and bevacizumab for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (ABT-301, tislelizumab, and bevacizumab) for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 971 recruiting locally advanced 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 locally advanced 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 locally advanced 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.
