QL1706 plus chemo before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (QL1706) plus standard chemotherapy given before surgery to shrink triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps remove the tumor more completely.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07343596Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery for oral cavity cancer
This study tests if giving immunotherapy before surgery helps treat oral cavity cancer. Researchers will look for markers in your biopsy that predict how well the treatment works.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04643366RecruitingPhase 2
Total treatment with chemotherapy and short radiation before surgery
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) and a short course of radiation before surgery improves outcomes for people with resectable rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink and control the cancer early and then remove it with curative surgery.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07501117RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy before eye removal for high-risk eye melanoma
This trial tests immunotherapy before surgery for people with high-risk eye melanoma (uveal melanoma). You’ll get treatment to help your immune system fight the cancer, then have your eye removed. After surgery, you’ll be followed to see how well the treatment worked.
Herlev, HerlevAges 18–80 - NCT07549399RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy for Rectal Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy drugs before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients with higher-risk disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07349303RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab Before Surgery for Stage IIb/c Melanoma
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (Keytruda) before surgery helps people with a certain type of advanced melanoma (stage IIb/c). The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes before the tumor is removed.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07352280Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery for certain colorectal cancers
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) given before surgery for people with stage II or III colorectal cancer that has a specific DNA repair problem (dMMR/MSI-High). The drug aims to shrink the tumor and improve treatment outcomes.

Ensartinib plus chemo before surgery for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking the targeted therapy Ensartinib (which blocks ALK) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink ALK-positive lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people who have not yet had treatment and whose cancer is at a stage that can be removed with surgery.

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.
