This study is testing whether a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can help treat advanced oral cancer. Researchers will also look at how the cancer changes the bacteria in your mouth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07076212RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two chemo combos for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study compares two chemotherapy combinations for people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see which combination works better and has fewer side effects.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501625RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for IDH1-mutated bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (ivosidenib, durvalumab, and gemcitabine/cisplatin) as a first treatment for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has a specific IDH1 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224152RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation for inoperable lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NBTXR3, which makes cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. You'll get one injection of NBTXR3 into your lung tumor, followed by standard radiation. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07164885Recruiting

Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05731726RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether giving serplulimab (an immune medicine) plus CAPEOX chemotherapy and celecoxib before surgery can shrink locally advanced rectal cancer and improve outcomes. It may help by increasing immune attack on the tumor while chemotherapy helps reduce the cancer before the operation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05763641Recruiting
Targeted treatment after chemo for certain breast cancers
This trial studies an additional treatment given after chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer that has spread to specific underarm lymph nodes. It may help some people reduce cancer returning, especially when tumors match certain growth and spread features.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06058663RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests combining a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) with two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and control cancer spread to lymph nodes or one other organ.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06173986RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation can help people with unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those who cannot have surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06861088RecruitingPhase 3
Kinisoquin for preventing blood clots in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether an investigational drug called Kinisoquin™ can help prevent blood clots in people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are starting their first chemotherapy. It may be a good option if you are looking for extra protection against clots during treatment.
Ventura, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06865339RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) to standard radiation and chemotherapy can help treat locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated before.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06902545Recruiting
Safety study of VYLOY for stomach or GEJ cancer in South Korea
This study monitors the safety of VYLOY (a cancer medicine) given to people in South Korea with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It helps doctors learn more about real-world side effects and how well patients do on treatment.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges Any age - NCT06998940RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without panitumumab for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug called panitumumab to standard chemotherapy can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for patients whose tumors do not have a KRAS mutation and who have already had one line of chemotherapy.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06440005RecruitingPhase 1
Testing AGX101 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called AGX101 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05825066RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before any surgery to people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor, which may make surgery more successful and improve outcomes.

Test cemiplimab plus chemo before treatment for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests cemiplimab (an immune system medicine) given with “induction” chemotherapy before the main treatment for locally advanced squamous cell head and neck cancer. It’s designed to see how well this treatment is tolerated and to learn about immune responses that may help future patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05406999RecruitingPhase 2
Intense hormone treatment before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving strong hormone-based treatment before prostate surgery to shrink and control high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help improve surgical success and reduce cancer spread risk, but it requires careful health checks and prior-treatment limits.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05397769RecruitingPhase 2
Test envafolimab with chemoradiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether adding envafolimab (an immune medicine) to standard chemo and radiation works better for people with locally advanced, untreated nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help the immune system attack the cancer while treatment shrinks it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06453486RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 977 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.
