This trial tests two oral hormone drugs (darolutamide and relugolix) given before prostate removal surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks the tumor and improves treatment outcomes.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06637163RecruitingPhase 2
Study of benmelstobart plus chemo-radiation before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (benmelstobart) to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery can help treat a certain type of esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than standard treatment alone.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06637306RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing dupilumab with chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial adds dupilumab (a targeted immune treatment) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors more effectively.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06647680RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) given before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes compared to standard treatment.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06649565Recruiting
AI model to predict breast cancer treatment response
This trial uses an artificial intelligence model to predict how well breast cancer responds to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery). It aims to improve treatment planning by analyzing MRI scans taken before and after therapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06651151RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant LTX-315 plus pembrolizumab for resectable melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (LTX-315 and pembrolizumab) given before surgery to shrink melanoma that is stage III or IV (M1a) and can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach works better than surgery alone.

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.
