- NCT06487624RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HCB301 for advanced solid tumors and Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial tests a new drug called HCB301, which targets proteins that help cancer hide from the immune system. It is for people with advanced solid tumors or classical Hodgkin lymphoma who have tried other treatments without success.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06769152RecruitingPhase 2
HLX43 for advanced gynecological cancers
This trial tests a new drug, HLX43, that targets a protein called PD-L1 found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced cervical or ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments.
Ji'nan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07106892RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HLX43 for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HLX43, that targets a protein called PD-L1 on cancer cells and delivers a chemotherapy-like payload directly to them. It's for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments.
BeijingAges 3 weeks–2 months - NCT05392413Recruiting
Predicting who benefits from PD-1 antibody for esophageal cancer
This study uses an “immune indicator model” to help predict how well a PD-1 antibody (a cancer-fighting immune drug) works when combined with chemotherapy for stage IV esophageal squamous cell cancer. If you qualify, you receive the treatment and the researchers also look for immune-related signs that may explain who benefits most.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06841679RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing utidelone plus chemo for untreated stomach cancer
This trial tests a new capsule (utidelone) combined with standard chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this combination works better than current options.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07126119RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether combining the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab with the chemotherapy drug nab-paclitaxel before surgery can help treat high-risk upper tract urothelial cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients who are planning to have their kidney and ureter removed.
Tianjin, Outside U.S.Ages 18 years+ - NCT07233252RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and chemotherapy for kidney pelvis cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) and a chemotherapy drug (nab-paclitaxel) to treat kidney pelvis cancer while trying to save as much kidney function as possible. It may be an option if you have a small tumor in the kidney pelvis and are scheduled for a laser procedure.
Tianjin, Outside U.S.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04615988Recruiting
Vitamin D levels and hormone side effects from immune cancer therapy
This study looks at whether your blood vitamin D level is linked to hormone-related side effects caused by immune checkpoint cancer drugs. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and how to monitor patients during treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07697859Recruiting
Immunotherapy with local treatment for limited spread esophageal cancer
This trial tests giving immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors) along with local treatments like radiation or surgery at different times for patients whose esophageal cancer has spread to only a few spots. The goal is to see the best timing for these combined treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05431270RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug that targets CD73, alone or with immunotherapy
This early-stage study tests mavrostobart (an anti-CD73 antibody) to see what dose is safe and whether it can help shrink tumors. It’s studied by itself and also with a PD-1 immune therapy or chemotherapy, depending on your cancer type and prior treatments.
Huntersville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06017583RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus immunotherapy and targeted radiation for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor), and a precise type of radiation can help shrink locally advanced rectal cancer before surgery. It aims to improve treatment success and reduce side effects.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–70 - NCT07277439RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemoradiation before surgery for stomach cancer
This study tests combining an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) and a medication to boost your immune system (thymalfasin) with standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery for stage III cancer where the stomach meets the esophagus. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07337096Recruiting
Electro-acupuncture for advanced lung cancer: the EALER study
This study tests whether adding electro-acupuncture (a gentle type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) to standard first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination improves quality of life and overall treatment outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05671510RecruitingPhase 3
Trial for metastatic lung cancer after PD-1 or PD-L1 treatment failure
This trial compares ONC-392 versus docetaxel (a standard chemotherapy) in metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has grown again after PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. It’s testing whether ONC-392 can control the cancer better or more safely after prior treatment.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06211114RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and targeted drug for advanced collecting duct kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and a targeted drug (axitinib) for people with advanced collecting duct carcinoma, a rare type of kidney cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06926140Recruiting
Acupuncture with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if adding acupuncture to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy helps people with advanced lung cancer. It is for those who have not had treatment before and whose tumors have low PD-L1 levels.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06772623RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of telisotuzumab adizutecan plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who haven't received prior therapy for advanced disease and don't have specific gene changes. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (telisotuzumab adizutecan) plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) to see if it helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07644897RecruitingPhase 2
Thymosin Alpha 1 Plus Anti-PD-1 for Advanced Melanoma in Older Adults
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—thymosin alpha 1 (an immune-boosting protein) and an anti-PD-1 antibody (a cancer immunotherapy)—in patients 60 and older with advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to help the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying PD-L1 inhibitor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting studies that include PD-L1 inhibitor, 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 PD-L1 inhibitor 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 PD-L1 inhibitor 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 PD-L1 inhibitor or a specific trial is right for you.
