Recruiting studies
- NCT05770531RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test guides chemo changes for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study uses a blood test that looks for “circulating tumor DNA” to help decide if standard chemotherapy should be changed. It aims to see whether this approach improves how well treatment works for certain metastatic (stage IV) breast cancers.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07263347Recruiting
DIEP flap breast reconstruction: markers and outcomes
This study looks at how certain body markers change during and after DIEP flap breast reconstruction (rebuilding the breast with your own belly tissue) following mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to improve outcomes and care for women undergoing this surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT05945329Recruiting
New scar-wrap to treat painful tightness after breast implants
This trial tests a medical mesh/scaffold (GalaFLEX LITE™) used during revision surgery to help treat capsular contracture, where scar tissue tightens around a breast implant. It may improve comfort and the appearance of the breast after implant augmentation problems.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 22–70 - NCT06632327RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing treatment timing for stage II-IIIB lung cancer
This trial is for people with a certain type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer) that can be surgically removed. It tests whether it is better to receive treatment before or after surgery to remove the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03007030RecruitingPhase 2
Brentuximab for CD30-positive mesothelioma that can’t be removed
This study tests brentuximab vedotin, a drug targeting a marker called CD30, in people with malignant mesothelioma that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help shrink the tumor or control the disease when other treatments are limited.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06906887RecruitingPhase 2
Pulsed low-dose radiation vs standard chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial compares a new way of giving radiation (in short, pulsed low-dose bursts) to the standard method, both combined with chemotherapy, for people with esophageal cancer. It aims to see if the pulsed approach is safer and equally effective.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03406247RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after salvage surgery for head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an immunotherapy given after salvage surgery for certain head and neck squamous cell cancers that came back (or a new second cancer) in an area that was already treated with radiation. It aims to lower the chance the cancer returns after surgery, especially in higher-risk situations.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07165847RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and two immunotherapy drugs before surgery for people with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Chongqing, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06380816RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of UCB4594 for advanced cancers with HLA-G marker
This trial tests an experimental drug called UCB4594 for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against tumors that have a specific marker called HLA-G.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07080944Recruiting
Lymph node biopsy after chemo for inflammatory breast cancer
This trial is testing if a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace more extensive lymph node removal in women with inflammatory breast cancer who have had chemotherapy and whose nodes appear cancer-free. This could help avoid unnecessary side effects.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06650163RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging test for brain tumor surgery planning
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06807437RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lanreotide before pancreas surgery to prevent leaks
This trial tests if a medicine called lanreotide, given before surgery, can prevent a common complication (pancreatic leak) after removing part of the pancreas. It is for people with pancreatic cancer or a growth that could become cancer who are scheduled for a specific type of pancreas surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06448026RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and cetuximab before surgery for mouth or throat cancer
This trial tests whether combining two targeted drugs (cemiplimab and cetuximab) before surgery can help people with recurrent mouth or throat cancer that has come back after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach makes surgery more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for breast cancer surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,192 recruiting breast cancer surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a breast cancer surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breast cancer surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
