- NCT06947291RecruitingPhase 2
Study of glumetinib plus nab-docetaxel for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, glumetinib and nab-docetaxel, in people with advanced stomach cancer or other solid tumors that have a specific change in the MET gene. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than current treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has already spread beyond the pelvis. It tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to the usual hormone therapy plus apalutamide can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06891833RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug combo for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new targeted drug (BL-M07D1) with or without another drug called pertuzumab, compared to a standard chemotherapy plus two targeted drugs, before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if the new combination works better at shrinking tumors before surgery.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06732856RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zolbetuximab plus chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug called zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy (docetaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1) before surgery for people with locally advanced stomach cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN18.2). The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors enough to improve surgery outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06661122Recruiting
Darolutamide with ADT and docetaxel for low-volume metastatic prostate cancer
This study looks at how safe and effective the combination of darolutamide (a tablet), hormone therapy (ADT), and chemotherapy (docetaxel) is for Japanese men with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way (low volume). It observes people in regular medical care, not in a research setting.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT06592924RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for prostate cancer with slow PSA drop
This trial tests if adding docetaxel chemotherapy helps men whose PSA hasn't dropped enough after at least 6 months of standard hormone therapy (ADT) plus an ARPI pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide) for metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to hormones.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06488222RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for low-grade bladder cancer that comes back
This trial tests whether putting two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) directly into the bladder can treat low-grade bladder cancer that is at intermediate risk. The goal is to see if this approach can help people avoid more invasive treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04361708RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug combo chemotherapy for advanced pancreas and upper GI cancers
This early-phase study tests how safe and workable it is to combine irinotecan with several standard chemotherapy medicines for cancers like pancreatic and other upper GI cancers. It’s mainly looking for side effects and the best way the doses work in people with advanced or metastatic disease.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06042569RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose chemo for older women with HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of two chemotherapy drugs (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) works well for women 65 and older with early-stage HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to maintain effectiveness while reducing side effects in this group.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT05910827RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a HER3 antibody with cetuximab and possibly docetaxel
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether an antibody that targets HER3 (with cetuximab, and possibly docetaxel) can help treat advanced squamous cell cancers that have already been treated or cannot use standard options. It mainly looks at safety first, and also whether the treatment can shrink tumors.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05762536RecruitingPhase 2
Docetaxel or cabazitaxel with or without darolutamide
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding darolutamide to either docetaxel or cabazitaxel helps treat men with advanced, progressing prostate cancer. It’s for cancers that have already grown despite hormone-blocking tablets (ARSi).
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05184803RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo for advanced stomach cancer with lymph spread
This Phase 2 study tests a combination chemotherapy regimen given before surgery for stomach cancer that cannot be fully removed (unresectable), including spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to shrink the cancer and improve control with a well-known set of medicines given in a specific order.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04928846RecruitingPhase 3
Telisotuzumab vedotin vs docetaxel for advanced non-squamous lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug (telisotuzumab vedotin) against the standard chemotherapy docetaxel in people with a certain type of non-squamous lung cancer that has high levels of a protein called c-Met. It may offer a new treatment option for those whose cancer has progressed after initial therapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04840264RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for stomach cancer with blocked intestines
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy combination (docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and 5-FU) in people with stomach or gastroesophageal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen and is causing an inoperable bowel blockage. It aims to shrink or control the blockage and cancer when surgery cannot be done.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03258320RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Docetaxel?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 232 recruiting studies that include Docetaxel, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Docetaxel trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Docetaxel an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Docetaxel or a specific trial is right for you.
