Short radiation plus targeted drugs before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of treatments before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. You would receive short-course radiation, then an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) plus a PARP inhibitor (fluzoparib) and chemotherapy, to shrink the tumor and make surgery more successful.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06530316Recruiting
RET inhibitor before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer with RET changes
This trial tests a targeted drug (a RET inhibitor) taken before surgery to help shrink thyroid cancer that has a specific genetic change (RET alteration). It may make surgery easier or more successful.
ShanghaiAges 14–80 - NCT06537154RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Neoadjuvant therapy for bladder cancer with active surveillance
This trial tests whether people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery or radiation after a short course of chemotherapy. Instead, they would be closely monitored and only treated if the cancer comes back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06558682Recruiting
Pre-surgery treatment for HER2-positive cervical cancer
This trial tests a treatment given before surgery for cervical cancer that is both squamous cell type and HER2-positive. It aims to see if this approach works better for patients with these specific markers.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT06559371Recruiting
PET scan to check lymph nodes after breast cancer treatment
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga FAPI) to check if lymph nodes under the arm still have cancer after you finish pre-surgery treatment. It helps doctors see how well the treatment worked before you have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06569368RecruitingPhase 2
Metronidazole with rectal cancer treatment
This trial tests adding the antibiotic metronidazole to standard pre-surgery therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if changing the bacteria in your gut can make the cancer treatment work better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06575257RecruitingPhase 2
Darolutamide and Hormone Therapy Before Prostate Surgery
This trial tests giving a new hormone-blocking drug (darolutamide) plus standard hormone therapy before surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06593899RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy and radiation before surgery for arm or leg sarcoma
This trial tests giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy together before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms or legs. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for people with larger, high-grade, or deep tumors.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06598527RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests adding targeted radiation before standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with stage 2-3 non-small cell lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the radiation helps shrink the tumor more before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06649565Recruiting
AI model to predict breast cancer treatment response
This trial uses an artificial intelligence model to predict how well breast cancer responds to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery). It aims to improve treatment planning by analyzing MRI scans taken before and after therapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06690476RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of IPM514 for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called IPM514 for people with a type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell). It aims to find out if the drug is safe and effective. The trial has different groups for those who have had prior treatment and those who will have surgery after treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06690645Recruiting
Stress and breast cancer treatment response
This trial studies how psychological stress might affect the success of pre-surgery breast cancer treatments (neoadjuvant therapy). If you are about to start treatment and have never had cancer therapy before, this study could help doctors understand your response better.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06700382Recruiting
Capecitabine for TNBC after incomplete response
This trial looks at different ways to use the chemotherapy drug capecitabine for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer cells after initial treatment and surgery. It aims to find the best approach to improve outcomes.

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+ - NCT06719414Recruiting
Using a special MRI to predict rectal cancer response to pre-surgery therapy
This trial uses a special type of MRI scan (called amide proton transfer-weighted imaging) to look at your rectal cancer before and after chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to see if the scan can predict whether the cancer has completely disappeared by the time of surgery, which could help guide future treatment decisions.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06721286RecruitingPhase 2
Combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy before surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that can be surgically removed. It's for patients who haven't had prior treatment for their cancer and are in good overall health.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06725940Recruiting
PET scan to check treatment response in breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well your breast cancer is responding to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment given before surgery). The goal is to help doctors personalize your care by checking if the cancer is shrinking.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06735326RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 356 recruiting neoadjuvant therapy 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 therapy 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 therapy 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.
