Cemiplimab plus imiquimod and laser before surgery for basal cell carcinoma
This trial tests combining a skin cream (imiquimod), a laser treatment, and an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) before surgery for high-risk basal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors enough to make surgery less disfiguring or damaging to nearby functions.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05989425RecruitingPhase 2
Surufatinib before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether the drug Surufatinib, given before surgery, can shrink locally advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer. It's a targeted therapy that blocks blood vessels that feed tumors, and is given as a pill to see if it makes the cancer easier to remove.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06550453RecruitingPhase 4
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for RAS-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus targeted therapy (bevacizumab) and chemotherapy (CapeOX) given before surgery for a specific type of locally advanced colorectal cancer. It is designed for patients whose tumors have a RAS mutation, are BRAF normal, and are microsatellite stable.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06516289RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant treatment for BRCA-mutated HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral medications (HRS-1167 and famitinib) with or without an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) before surgery for women with a BRCA gene mutation and HER2-negative breast cancer. It aims to see if these drugs can shrink tumors before surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 186 recruiting neoadjuvant treatment 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 treatment 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 treatment 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.
