Recruiting studies
- NCT07015190RecruitingPhase 3
Darovasertib before surgery for eye melanoma
This trial tests a drug called darovasertib given before standard surgery for primary uveal melanoma (a type of eye cancer that hasn't spread). The goal is to see if the drug can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04821843RecruitingPhase 3
Study before-surgery treatments for esophageal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares different “treatments before surgery” for people with esophageal (or esophagus-to-stomach) cancer. It aims to see which approach works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07748325RecruitingPhase 2
Checking if immunotherapy after surgery helps prevent lung cancer return
This trial is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who have already had immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, followed by complete removal of the tumor. It tests whether continuing immunotherapy after surgery (adjuvant treatment) can lower the risk of cancer coming back compared to just watching and waiting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06831526RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemoradiation with or without azeliragon for new glioblastoma
This trial tests whether adding the study drug azeliragon to standard radiation and chemotherapy can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The study will also look at how the tumor responds to the added drug.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06485544RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests adding a drug called adebrelimab (a type of immunotherapy) before surgery for people with early-stage small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT03731130Recruiting
Study on quality of life after rectal cancer treatment and surgery
This observational study follows people with rectal cancer who get radiation (with or without chemotherapy) before surgery. It aims to understand how these treatments affect quality of life after surgery.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05125055RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test new throat cancer treatment before surgery
This trial tests giving anti–PD-1 immunotherapy plus a drug called TP before surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma (mouth/throat cancer). The goal is to see whether this pre-surgery treatment improves how much the tumor responds under the microscope.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05200260RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus maintenance medicines for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial checks whether having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible, followed by ongoing targeted treatment, helps people with advanced ovarian (and related) cancers live longer and/or control cancer better. It specifically uses tumor-testing results to match patients and then continues treatment after surgery.
FoshanAges 18 years+ - NCT03567889RecruitingPhase 3
Injectable treatment before surgery for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether an injected medicine placed directly into melanoma tumors before surgery can improve outcomes for melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes/skin but can still be fully removed. It aims to shrink the cancer and reduce the chance it comes back after surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07586904RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New Immunotherapy Combination for Advanced Melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and interferon) given before surgery to treat advanced melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or one distant site. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve chances of successful surgery and long-term survival.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT05919108RecruitingPhase 2
Neratinib before surgery for HER2-mutated invasive lobular breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests neratinib given before surgery to treat stage I–III invasive lobular breast cancer that has a specific HER2 mutation and is hormone-receptor positive. It may help shrink the tumor and improve control of cancer before and after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 348 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.
