Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT07260526Recruiting
Chemo and radiation for low rectal cancer, aiming to avoid surgery
This trial tests whether people with early- to intermediate-stage low rectal cancer can avoid surgery if their tumor responds well to a full course of chemotherapy and radiation. It starts with brief chemotherapy, then adjusts treatment based on how much the tumor shrinks.

This trial tests combining a skin cream (imiquimod), a laser treatment, and an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) before surgery for high-risk basal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors enough to make surgery less disfiguring or damaging to nearby functions.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06637163RecruitingPhase 2
Study of benmelstobart plus chemo-radiation before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (benmelstobart) to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery can help treat a certain type of esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than standard treatment alone.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07182565RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
VilniusAges 18–80 - NCT07108127RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drugs plus chemo for HER2-positive rectal cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two targeted drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab biosimilars) plus chemotherapy can shrink advanced HER2-positive rectal cancer before surgery. It aims to improve response and potentially reduce the need for more aggressive treatments.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07084558Recruiting
Testing treatment guided by tumor DNA for hormone positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether using a blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help guide chemo and hormone therapy for early-stage, hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative breast cancer. The goal is to tailor treatment to your tumor's response, potentially reducing unnecessary side effects.
Vienna, AustriaAges 18–100 - NCT07020247RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized radiation plus chemo with or without immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests adding immunotherapy to standard radiation and chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if a personalized approach improves outcomes while sparing more normal tissue.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07018570RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation for stomach cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (FLOT), an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), and short-course radiation before surgery for gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.

- Are there clinical trials for total neoadjuvant treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 105 recruiting total neoadjuvant treatment 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 treatment 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 treatment 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.
