Recruiting studies
- NCT05361837Recruiting
Nerve block with sedation for breast surgery comfort
This trial tests if adding a numbing injection (serratus anterior plane block) with a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) helps reduce pain during and after breast removal surgery.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT06821997RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (NALIRIFOX) given before surgery to shrink the tumor in people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to make surgery more effective and improve outcomes.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
BaselAges 4–22 - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03442465Recruiting
Study of healing and function after bone reconstruction surgery
This study looks at how well people heal and how well they can move and use the repaired bone after reconstructive surgery for bone tumors. It may help doctors understand what recovery looks like and what could improve function over time.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 4 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 - NCT06172296RecruitingPhase 3
Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT07615049RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter versus standard radiation for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation therapy with the standard longer course for people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg. The goal is to see if the shorter course works just as well and may be more convenient.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 849 recruiting 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 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 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.
