Ivonescimab with chemotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Ivonescimab (AK112) combined with two chemotherapy drugs (Abraxane and cisplatin) given before surgery for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve surgery outcomes for patients with locally advanced disease.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–75 - NCT06832904RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus two targeted drugs before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving a combination of two targeted drugs (pyrotinib and trastuzumab) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can work better for HER2-positive breast cancer. It is for women whose cancer has not spread to distant organs and who have not yet had treatment for their cancer.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05263570Recruiting
Real-world treatment planning for stage II–III HR+ HER2+ breast cancer
This trial looks at how well a standard “neoadjuvant” treatment plan works in real-world patients. It is for people newly diagnosed with stage II–III HR+ breast cancer and aims to see whether treatment gives expected outcomes in everyday care.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07289282Recruiting
Study of blood markers and chemotherapy response in breast cancer
This trial is studying tiny molecules in your blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can predict how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy given before surgery. If you are starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy, this study may help personalize your treatment.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07762586RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 347 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.
