clinicaltrials.gov has it all. There's a scraped sqlite database out of a team in israel, i think it's called cdcdb. this summarizes "current clinical experiments". Regarding preclinical, it's a wild west, and nobody really knows if it works or not since it's preclinical by definition.

Secondly, the site nccn contains all the treatment algorithms. The treatment algorithms (thousands of sloppy figure pdf pages) are free. They have something more structured (as I understand it, have never seen it) that you have to pay for. These are based on all of the currently available clinical evidence (LOTS of studies). Generally they are along the lines of - subtype your cancer into one of X number of subtypes, treat each subtype with this treatment, and when that fails, move onto this treatment, and when that fails, move onto this treatment, and when that fails, there's no standard but here are you options.
