Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06928701Recruiting
Diet and exercise for early breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a personalized nutrition and exercise program can improve treatment response by changing how your body and immune system react to breast cancer before surgery. It is for women newly diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer who will receive neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery).
Novara, NovaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06933199Recruiting
Focused radiation before brain tumor surgery
This study tests giving a single, precise dose of radiation to a brain metastasis just before surgery, to see if it helps control the tumor better without extra side effects. It’s for people who are already planning surgery for a medium-to-large brain tumor that started from another cancer.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06939127RecruitingPhase 2
Cold therapy, immunotherapy, and chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a treatment that uses extreme cold (cryoablation) along with immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy before and after surgery for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06940388RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT06987734RecruitingPhase 2
Sugemalimab plus chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if adding the immunotherapy drug sugemalimab to standard chemotherapy before and after surgery can help people with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination reduces the chance of cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07003620RecruitingPhase 2

Fuzuloparib and apatinib before surgery for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs—fuzuloparib (a PARP inhibitor) and apatinib (which blocks blood vessel growth to tumors)—given before surgery for advanced ovarian cancer that cannot be removed right away. It is for people whose tumors have a specific genetic marker (HRD positive) and who have not had prior cancer treatment.

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.
