Recruiting studies
- NCT07383818RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab rezetecan and toripalimab for HR+/HER2-low breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (trastuzumab rezetecan and toripalimab) given before surgery to treat a specific type of breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-low. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment.
HarbinAges 18–70 - NCT05563922RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a plan to preserve the anus after rectal chemo-radiation
This Phase 2 study tests a “total neoadjuvant” (chemo plus radiation before the main treatment) plan to see if some people with low rectal cancer can keep their anus. It may help you avoid permanent colostomy if your cancer responds well and you meet the study rules.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07346248Enrolling by invitation

This study looks at complications that happen after surgery in patients with advanced rectal cancer who got radiation or chemo-radiation before their operation. Researchers want to learn how different pre-surgery treatments affect recovery.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06802666RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus combo drugs for rectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination for rectal cancer that hasn't spread far: a short course of radiation followed by two drugs (AK112 and CAPOX). The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery and possibly avoid more aggressive treatments.
HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07386158RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving pucotenlimab (an immunotherapy drug) with vorolanib (a targeted therapy) before surgery helps shrink clear cell kidney tumors and makes kidney-sparing surgery safer. It is for people with localized, non-metastatic disease where the tumor is difficult to remove with partial nephrectomy.
Guangzhou, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–85 - 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 - NCT07389629RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination given before surgery for kidney cancer that is early stage but hard to operate on. The goal is to shrink the tumor and make surgery easier.

Short vs long treatment for stage II-III rectal cancer with dMMR
This trial tests how long you need a PD-1 immunotherapy before surgery for a specific type of rectal cancer (dMMR/MSI-H). It looks at whether a shorter or longer course works best. This could mean fewer side effects and a quicker path to surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07492342RecruitingPhase 2
Fulzerasib with immunotherapy and chemo before surgery for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a targeted pill (Fulzerasib) and immunotherapy (Sintilimab) plus standard chemotherapy before surgery, for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06843681Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Trastuzumab and Chemo Before Surgery for HER2-Positive DCIS
This trial tests giving trastuzumab (a targeted drug) plus a chemotherapy drug called a taxane before surgery for women with HER2-positive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or eliminate the cancer before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07165847RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and two immunotherapy drugs before surgery for people with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Chongqing, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06107673RecruitingPhase 2
Pill vs chemo before breast cancer surgery
This study compares taking a daily pill (dalpiciclib with hormone therapy) versus standard chemotherapy before breast cancer surgery. It's for postmenopausal women with a common type of early breast cancer that is strongly hormone-receptor positive and HER2-negative.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT07089199RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (tislelizumab, anlotinib, and nab-paclitaxel) given before surgery for stage III lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the tumor and improves outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07230639RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation with chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk colon cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk colon cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.

Modified long-course radiation and chemo with immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan involving radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor before surgery.
