Tislelizumab plus chemo before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab with chemotherapy before surgery can help people with advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to remove it completely during surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07150949RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two radiation schedules with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This study tests two different radiation regimens (long-course vs. short-course) combined with chemotherapy (CAPOX), an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody), and a COX-2 inhibitor for people with MSS locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better in shrinking the tumor before surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06028737RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

Study of lung cancer patients who got chemo-immunotherapy before planned surgery but didn't have surgery
This study looks at patients with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who started chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before planned surgery but did not actually have surgery. It aims to understand why surgery was canceled and how patients did over time.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT07132463RecruitingPhase 3
Study of extra treatment for ultra-low rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) to standard chemoradiation and chemotherapy helps patients with ultra-low rectal cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has not spread and can be removed with surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07131514RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for pancreatic cancer before and after surgery
This trial tests if giving a combination of four drugs before and after surgery can help treat pancreatic cancer. The drugs include HRS-4642, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and adebrelimab. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and lower the chance of cancer coming back afterward.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
