Donafenib and immunotherapy before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—donafenib (a targeted therapy) and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1 antibody)—given before surgery for locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery easier and more complete. If you have this type of thyroid cancer that is hard to remove completely with surgery alone, this study may be an option.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07464756RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SHR-1701 and apatinib with chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding SHR-1701 (an immunotherapy) with or without apatinib (a targeted therapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help treat gastric cancer. It is for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes but is still removable.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07448077RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation with immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (Enlonstobart) for patients with a specific type of rectal cancer called pMMR. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors before surgery and improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Neoadjuvant therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 348 recruiting studies that include Neoadjuvant therapy, 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 Neoadjuvant therapy 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 Neoadjuvant therapy 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 Neoadjuvant therapy or a specific trial is right for you.
