- NCT05837455RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided treatment for early breast cancer before surgery
This trial looks at whether using tumor test results (biomarkers) can help guide the best hormone treatment and chemotherapy before surgery. It focuses on people with stage II or III, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, with the goal of improving how well the tumor responds before it is removed.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05941338RecruitingPhase 2

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05981014RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking immune cells from your lymph nodes and giving them back to you can help shrink breast cancer that has not responded fully to initial chemotherapy. It is for women with HER2-negative breast cancer who have had stable disease after two cycles of a standard chemotherapy combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05980702RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing 2 vs 4 rounds of chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether 2 or 4 cycles of pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (chemotherapy) before surgery works better for people with advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if fewer treatments are just as effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05989347RecruitingPhase 1

New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06121570RecruitingPhase 1
Study of immune cells from lymph nodes for HER2-negative breast cancer

This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for patients with middle or low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the anus, preserving bowel function.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06229041RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo and radiation with or without immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery helps shrink high-risk rectal cancer and prevent it from coming back. You may be a good fit if you have a specific type of advanced rectal cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of your body.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06304350RecruitingPhase 2

Combination drug treatment before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (RC48 and toripalimab) given before bladder cancer surgery for patients who cannot take the standard chemotherapy due to kidney problems or other reasons. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06395844RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NK cell therapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new therapy that uses your own natural killer (NK) cells, modified to better fight cancer and injected directly into your abdomen. It's for people with advanced ovarian cancer who cannot have surgery or whose tumor cannot be fully removed.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06401005RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug called AK104 given before surgery to treat triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors more effectively and help patients avoid a mastectomy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06402435RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for hormone positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of treatments given before surgery for hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. It uses stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), chemotherapy, and an investigational drug called AK112 to shrink tumors and make surgery easier.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06415318RecruitingPhase 2
TIP chemo plus triplizumab before surgery for penile cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (paclitaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin) and an immunotherapy drug (triplizumab) given before surgery for locally advanced penile cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06437977RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery treatment with radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for stage II-III NSCLC
This trial tests whether combining radiation, an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), and chemotherapy before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with resectable stage II to III non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard chemotherapy alone.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 178 recruiting studies that include Total 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 Total 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 Total 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 Total neoadjuvant therapy or a specific trial is right for you.
