Recruiting studies
- NCT02821013RecruitingPhase 3

Short radiation plus drugs for early rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, chemotherapy (capecitabine), and two immunotherapy drugs (PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors) for people with early-stage rectal cancer who want to avoid surgery and keep their anus. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor enough to avoid major surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07538479RecruitingPhase 1
Cold Exposure Plus Immunotherapy for Advanced Solid Tumors
This study tests whether controlled cold exposure combined with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitor drugs that boost your immune system) can help fight solid tumors better than immunotherapy alone. The cold exposure is meant to trigger immune responses that may make the immunotherapy work more effectively.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07509099RecruitingPhase 3
Combination treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests a combination of two medications—cetuximab (a targeted antibody) and either pembrolizumab or finotonlimab (immunotherapies)—along with chemotherapy, for advanced head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve survival compared to standard treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07555678RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy for anal cancer
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1 antibody) for anal squamous cell cancer. The trial enrolls patients at different stages of disease to see if adding immunotherapy improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07523737RecruitingPhase 2
Combination drug trial for relapsed brain lymphoma
This trial tests three drugs together—pomalidomide, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and selinexor—to treat primary central nervous system lymphoma (a blood cancer in the brain) that has returned after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the cancer and help patients live longer.

Treating stomach cancer spread to lymph nodes with chemo, surgery, and radiation
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (conversion therapy), surgery, and radiation for people with stomach cancer that has spread only to lymph nodes behind the stomach. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07100405Recruiting
TACE plus Immunotherapy for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two treatments for advanced liver cancer: TACE (a procedure that blocks the blood supply to the tumor) and an anti-PD-1 antibody (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer). The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone and to understand how it affects the immune system around the tumor.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05563012RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus chemo and PD-1 immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving a short course of radiation before surgery, along with chemotherapy and a PD-1 immunotherapy drug, can improve treatment outcomes for locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and strengthen the immune system’s attack on cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06006650RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant therapy for stage II-IVA esophageal cancer
This trial tests a treatment given before surgery for patients with a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, stages II to IVA. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06158919Recruiting
Immunotherapy Plus Targeted Therapy and Chemo for Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor), a targeted drug (fruquintinib), and chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is HER2-negative. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06342167RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation with nutrition support for esophageal cancer
This trial combines an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) with radiation therapy and special nutrition drinks to treat esophageal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective in helping patients live longer and feel better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06391190RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemoradiation plus immunotherapy for advanced cervical cancer
This trial tests combining standard chemoradiation with a PD-1 inhibitor (a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer) for advanced cervical cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06151743RecruitingPhase 2
Testing drug combo before throat cancer surgery
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (an immunotherapy called a PD-1 inhibitor, cetuximab, and platinum chemotherapy) given before surgery for advanced throat cancer that requires removing the voice box. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pd-1 inhibitor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 199 recruiting pd-1 inhibitor 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 pd-1 inhibitor 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 pd-1 inhibitor 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.
