Recruiting studies
- NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1

HER2 breast cancer vaccine plus chemo and targeted antibodies
This Phase 2 study tests a personalized immune-therapy vaccine made from your immune cells, given with weekly paclitaxel and HER2-targeted antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab). It aims to improve treatment outcomes for people with HER2-positive breast cancer before standard local treatment (like surgery and radiation).
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05285358RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol chemo plus standard drugs for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the drug paclitaxel directly into your belly as a mist, along with two standard chemo drugs given through your veins, for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the cancer in the belly.

Surufatinib plus immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether a combination of surufatinib and immunotherapy (camrelizumab, plus an “AS” medicine) can slow or shrink advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for people starting treatment for advanced disease for the first time and may help those who have measurable tumors and meet safety test limits.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05192798RecruitingPhase 2
Albumin-bound chemo plus anti-blood-vessel drugs for TNBC
This Phase 2 study tests a chemotherapy called albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with medicines that block new blood vessel growth (antiangiogenic agents) for women with recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05019716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding ZEN003694 to chemo for NUT cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin/etoposide or carboplatin/paclitaxel) is safe and can help control NUT carcinoma. It enrolls people ages 12–17 and adults, including some patients whose cancer has spread or can’t be safely removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 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.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05035147RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a chemotherapy combination (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as first treatment for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by testing how well this treatment works in people with locally advanced or metastatic disease.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04892953RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus focused radiation for progressing stage III lung cancer
This trial studies adding focused radiation to some cancer spots in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer did not fully stop after standard chemoradiation and durvalumab. The goal is to control a small number of growing spots (or more than a few) and improve outcomes after durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04807140RecruitingPhase 2
Study of toripalimab before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests toripalimab (an immunotherapy) given before surgery for untreated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, either alone or with chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer earlier and see if it improves outcomes for people who plan curative surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07648914RecruitingPhase 3
BL-B01D1 versus chemotherapy for advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug called BL-B01D1 against standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative, and has stopped responding to hormone treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04660760RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two treatments for advanced stomach cancer after first treatment
This study tests two different treatment options for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has grown after earlier chemotherapy. One option combines a targeted therapy (ramucirumab) with a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil), and the other is a standard chemotherapy drug (paclitaxel). The goal is to see which approach works better for people whose cancer has progressed, with the hope of improving outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for paclitaxel?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 667 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.
