Tracking ctDNA for Pancreatic Cancer Before Surgery
This study looks at using a special blood test (ctDNA MRD) to track how well the tumor responds to chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors decide if the treatment is working and guide next steps.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07076836Recruiting
Electroacupuncture for lung cancer patients on immunotherapy
This study tests whether adding electroacupuncture at a specific point on the leg (called Zusanli) can help people with lung cancer who are getting chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It might reduce side effects and improve response to treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07070622RecruitingPhase 3
Organ preservation for low rectal cancer after chemo
This trial tests whether chemotherapy alone can help avoid surgery for low rectal cancer. It is for people with tumors close to the anus that haven't spread far, and who haven't had prior cancer treatment.

- Are there clinical trials for neoadjuvant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 882 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.
