Recruiting studies
- NCT06725940Recruiting

Radiation, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy for Rectal Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy drugs before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients with higher-risk disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07354061RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ensartinib plus chemo before surgery for ALK+ lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking the targeted therapy Ensartinib (which blocks ALK) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink ALK-positive lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people who have not yet had treatment and whose cancer is at a stage that can be removed with surgery.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07125391RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus propranolol before surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests adding propranolol (a heart medication) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors more effectively.

New Immunotherapy Plus Chemotherapy Before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a new combination of an immunotherapy drug (IBI363) plus chemotherapy before surgery in people with Stage III lung cancer that can't be removed at first. The goal is to shrink the tumor so it can be surgically removed.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07410975RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests combining two immunotherapy drugs (anti-CTLA-4 antibody and sintilimab) with chemotherapy before surgery for stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Pegfilgrastim to prevent low white blood cells in triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether a medicine called pegfilgrastim can help prevent dangerously low white blood cell counts in women with triple-negative breast cancer receiving a specific chemotherapy combination. Low white blood cells increase infection risk, so this medicine may help patients stay safer during treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for total neoadjuvant therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 178 recruiting total neoadjuvant therapy 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 total neoadjuvant therapy 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 total neoadjuvant therapy 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.
