Neoadjuvant combo therapy for liver cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) plus lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) given before surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer).

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07050771RecruitingPhase 2
Prehabilitation before cancer surgery study
This trial tests a comprehensive program of exercise, nutrition, and wellness support before and after major cancer surgery. It aims to help patients recover faster and better, whether or not they also receive chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07057427RecruitingPhase 3
Nab-paclitaxel vs TCbHP for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial compares two different drug combinations given before surgery to shrink HER2-positive breast cancer tumors. The goal is to see which combination works better and has fewer side effects.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT07098026Recruiting
Herbal mixture plus chemo before surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding an herbal mixture (Shenqi Fuwei Mixture) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help treat locally advanced stomach cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not spread to distant sites and who are healthy enough to undergo treatment and surgery.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07106112Recruiting
Carbon vs. Metal marker for breast cancer lymph node marking after chemo
This trial compares two methods to mark lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It tests whether a carbon-based marker works as well as a metallic marker to help surgeons find and remove the right lymph nodes.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07113613RecruitingPhase 2
Can some breast cancer patients skip extra radiation after surgery?
This trial tests whether women who have a complete response to chemotherapy before breast-conserving surgery can safely skip a special radiation boost to the tumor bed. It aims to reduce unnecessary treatment side effects while maintaining good outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 30–75 - NCT07154082RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests if giving a combination of drugs (apatinib and camrelizumab) along with a procedure called TACE before surgery can help treat a certain type of liver cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor before the operation to improve outcomes.

Chemo and radiation for low rectal cancer, aiming to avoid surgery
This trial tests whether people with early- to intermediate-stage low rectal cancer can avoid surgery if their tumor responds well to a full course of chemotherapy and radiation. It starts with brief chemotherapy, then adjusts treatment based on how much the tumor shrinks.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07269782RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for stage II-III lung cancer
This study tests two investigational drugs (HLX43 and serplulimab) given before surgery to people with stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove completely during surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07291921Recruiting
Blood tests before and after lung cancer surgery
This study looks at changes in small molecules, genetic material, and other markers in the blood before and after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to develop a simple blood test to monitor patients over time and see if the cancer comes back.

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.
