Testing adebrelimab plus chemo before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug (adebrelimab) combined with standard chemotherapy, with or without another drug (bevacizumab), given before surgery for people with a certain type of lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor and makes surgery more effective.
GuangzhouAges 18–65 - NCT06722599Recruiting
Shorter chemo with targeted drugs for low-risk HER2 breast cancer
This trial tests whether a short course of chemo plus two targeted drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) before surgery works well for people with early-stage, low-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. It may help reduce the need for stronger chemo later.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07111455Recruiting
Oral bacteria changes with chemoimmunotherapy for mouth cancer
This study is testing whether a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can help treat advanced oral cancer. Researchers will also look at how the cancer changes the bacteria in your mouth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06794229RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib plus nivolumab before surgery for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests two drugs—zanzalintinib and nivolumab—given before surgery to shrink advanced or hard-to-remove kidney tumors. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and improve outcomes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06653452Recruiting
PET/MRI for rectal cancer treatment response
This study uses a special scan called PET/MRI to see how well treatment works for locally advanced rectal cancer before surgery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06518135Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy after chemo for initial node-positive breast cancer
This trial checks whether a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy (removing just a few nodes) can safely replace full lymph node removal for people whose breast cancer and underarm lymph nodes responded well to chemotherapy. It is for patients who initially had 1 to 3 involved nodes and now appear cancer-free in the armpit.
Henan, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT06569498Recruiting
Triple therapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of three drugs given before surgery can help shrink liver cancer and improve outcomes for patients whose tumors can be removed. It is for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that is still operable.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06582342Recruiting
Does a 3D model predict treatment response better than CT for pancreatic cancer?
This study tests whether a special 3D scan can better tell if treatment has shrunk the tumor in people with pancreatic cancer. It may help your doctors decide if surgery is a good option.
AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06384560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Triple therapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if this triple therapy helps shrink tumors and improve survival.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06281405RecruitingPhase 2
CAPOX and immunotherapy with or without radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to a combination of chemotherapy (CAPOX) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) is more effective than the combination alone for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that is MSS (microsatellite stable) or pMMR. It aims to improve outcomes for patients with high-risk features.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 903 recruiting neoadjuvant 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 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 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.
