Chemo for metastatic vulvar cancer with carboplatin and paclitaxel
This trial studies how well carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy works for vulvar squamous cell cancer that has spread. It may help shrink tumors and control cancer growth in people who are not able to be fully treated with local surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05000892RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery for salivary cancer
This trial studies giving an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) plus two chemotherapy medicines before surgery to shrink salivary gland cancer. The goal is to improve how well the cancer responds and is controlled, while still aiming for a cure through surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for paclitaxel?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 669 recruiting paclitaxel 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 paclitaxel 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 paclitaxel 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.
