Immunotherapy plus standard treatment for rectal cancer
This trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab to standard total neoadjuvant treatment (chemotherapy and radiation before surgery) can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink the tumor more than standard treatment alone.
MainzAges 18 years+ - NCT06914440RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for patients with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It combines radiation therapy with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug before the patient's main surgery, to see if it can shrink or eliminate the tumor more effectively.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT06910072Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo and immunotherapy before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and two immunotherapy drugs given before surgery for women and men with triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink or eliminate the tumor before surgery.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06895447RecruitingPhase 2
Robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery after chemo or radiation
This trial tests whether using a robotic arm to remove stomach cancer is safe and effective for patients who have already received chemotherapy or radiation. If you have stage III stomach cancer and are healthy enough for surgery, this approach may offer a more precise operation.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06874933RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus anlotinib and benmelstobart for HR+/HER2- breast cancer

Common questions
- 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.
