Recruiting studies
- NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06275958RecruitingPhase 3
Lower starting chemo dose for older adults with metastatic colorectal cancer
This study tests whether starting with a lower dose of chemotherapy works as well as the standard dose for people aged 70 and older with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find a treatment that is effective but gentler, with fewer side effects.
's-HertogenboschAges 70 years+ - NCT06860269RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New immune therapy and stem cell transplant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This study tests adding new immunotherapy drugs and possibly a stem cell transplant to the first treatment for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to see if these approaches help people live longer without the cancer coming back.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT07201519RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion for liver cancer using a hybrid care model
This trial tests a special type of chemotherapy (hepatic artery infusion) for people with cancers that have spread to the liver, such as colorectal cancer or bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma). It studies whether delivering this treatment partly at a community center and partly at a university hospital is safe and feasible.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT06858709Recruiting

This trial tests if adding electroacupuncture, a gentle type of acupuncture using mild electric pulses, can help relieve nerve pain, tingling, or numbness caused by chemotherapy in people with cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06279351RecruitingPhase 2
Thalidomide plus standard chemo and cetuximab for left-sided colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug thalidomide to standard chemotherapy plus cetuximab can work better for people with advanced left-sided colorectal cancer that hasn't been treated before. If you have a specific gene type (RAS/BRAF wild-type) and are in generally good health, this study may be an option.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07050043RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose nivolumab plus chemo vs standard chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab combined with standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not been treated before.
Alor Star, KedahAges 18 years+ - NCT04307277RecruitingPhase 3
Checking chemotherapy before and after surgery for high-risk sarcoma
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy around the time of surgery (before/after) can improve outcomes for people with high-risk localized soft-tissue sarcoma. It uses special tumor testing (CINSARC) to help identify higher-risk patients who may benefit.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06937905RecruitingPhase 3
Tarlatamab vs chemo for advanced NEC after one prior treatment
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called tarlatamab, which targets the DLL3 protein on cancer cells, versus standard chemotherapy for people with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). You may qualify if your NEC has gotten worse after just one prior platinum chemotherapy and your tumor has DLL3.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05462613RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Regorafenib plus aspirin then standard chemo for metastatic bowel cancer
This trial tests whether adding regorafenib and low-dose aspirin before standard chemotherapy can slow metastatic colorectal cancer after it has progressed on prior treatment. It may help by trying a different cancer-fighting approach earlier, followed by the usual chemo plan.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07213557RecruitingPhase 2
Simvastatin with immunotherapy for ARID1A-mutated stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding the cholesterol drug simvastatin to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with a specific type of gastroesophageal cancer (ARID1A mutated, HER2 negative). It is for patients who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Naples, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT02555735Enrolling by invitation
Study of exceptional responders with solid tumors on chemotherapy
This study looks at people with solid tumor cancer (like many common carcinomas) to understand who responds exceptionally well to chemotherapy. You might be eligible if you are newly diagnosed or already receiving chemotherapy and can follow the study plan.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04901234RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation for advanced throat cancer
This study tests an approach called “adaptive radiotherapy,” where the radiation plan may be adjusted based on how your tumor and anatomy look during treatment. It is for adults with biopsy-proven oropharyngeal (throat) squamous cell carcinoma who are planning curative radiation, with or without chemotherapy.
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT06791603Recruiting
Social media videos for chemo side effects
This study tests whether education delivered through social media videos can help breast cancer patients manage chemotherapy side effects. If you are starting chemotherapy for the first time and can use a smartphone, you may be able to join.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06675214RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with modified radiation for advanced NPC
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy after immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) that has partially shrunk. It aims to see if a different radiation schedule works better and has fewer side effects.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07328841RecruitingPhase 3
Lower radiation dose study for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares a lower dose of radiation to the standard dose for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that shrank after chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if a lower dose works just as well with fewer side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04620187RecruitingPhase 2
Study medicine T-DM1 after surgery for HER2-positive salivary cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies T-DM1 given after surgery for salivary gland cancer that is HER2-positive. The goal is to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back by targeting HER2-positive tumor cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07480954RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) that targets two proteins often found on ovarian cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has come back after at least two prior treatments.

Pancreatic cancer vaccine with chemotherapy before/around surgery
This early-stage trial tests a personalized immune “vaccine” made from dendritic cells, given alongside standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer that may be removable by surgery (resectable or borderline resectable). If it works, it may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer around the time of treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Standard Chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 118 recruiting studies that include Standard Chemotherapy, 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 Standard Chemotherapy 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 Standard Chemotherapy 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 Standard Chemotherapy or a specific trial is right for you.
