This trial tests adding immunotherapy to standard radiation and chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if a personalized approach improves outcomes while sparing more normal tissue.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06831136RecruitingPhase 2
Endoscopic ultrasound ablation plus immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of endoscopic ultrasound-guided heat ablation (RFA) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab for people with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Surufatinib plus chemo-immunotherapy before chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for people with advanced esophageal cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses a targeted therapy called surufatinib along with chemo-immunotherapy and radiation to see if it can shrink the tumor before further treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05468242RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab after lung cancer chemotherapy and radiation
This Phase 2 study tests tislelizumab (an immune medicine) given after chemotherapy and radiation for stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before. It may help improve how well the cancer responds and how long patients can stay in remission, with or without an added medication called bevacizumab.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07055399RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy with two drugs plus chemo for cervical cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) combined with chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced cervical cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes for patients who haven't had prior systemic treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07040098RecruitingPhase 2
Optimizing immunotherapy with chemo-radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests combining immunotherapy with standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors have certain genetic features (pMMR or MSS).
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06449313RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery for stage 3 disease
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can help shrink stage 3 lung cancer and improve outcomes. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and possibly lower the chance of it coming back.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877859Recruiting
Testing pembrolizumab with chemo before breast cancer surgery
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery improves immune and clinical responses in people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. You may benefit by getting a potentially more effective treatment plan, while the study team closely monitors your response.

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06662110Recruiting
Blood test to predict chemo and immunotherapy response in stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a blood test (called immune proteomics) can predict how well chemotherapy and immunotherapy work in people with stomach cancer. If you qualify, you would receive standard chemo or chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery, and researchers will study your blood to see if it can guide future treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant immunotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 100 recruiting neoadjuvant immunotherapy 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 neoadjuvant immunotherapy 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 neoadjuvant immunotherapy 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.
