Olaparib after surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether olaparib (a pill cancer medicine) works better than standard platinum chemotherapy after a second surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer. It’s for people whose cancer returned after initial PARP-inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance and aims to see if treatment can control the cancer for longer with acceptable side effects.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT05852704RecruitingPhase 3
Dapagliflozin to prevent irregular heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial looks at whether dapagliflozin (a diabetes medicine that helps the kidneys and heart) can lower the chance of atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, after coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery. If you’re scheduled for planned bypass surgery, this study may help reduce post-operative rhythm problems.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT06220032RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing heart damage from chemotherapy in lymphoma
This trial tests if the drug dexrazoxane can protect the heart during chemotherapy for a type of lymphoma called DLBCL. It may be an option for patients starting a standard treatment regimen known as R-CHOP.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06586749Recruiting
Nurse-led education and phone support to reduce infections after heart bypass
This study tests whether a special nurse-led program of phone calls and education can help reduce infections after heart bypass surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for infection and have a smartphone.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT07401641Recruiting
Pain control study for oral cancer surgery
This study tests two different pain medicines (dezocine or nalbuphine) combined with sufentanil to see which helps better control pain after oral cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction. It also looks at side effects and how well the transplanted tissue survives.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07635160Recruiting
Kidney Blood Flow Monitoring During Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT06222866Recruiting
Blood thinner and inflammation monitoring after heart procedures
This study looks at how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) and inflammation markers work in people having heart or blood vessel procedures. It aims to better monitor these treatments to improve patient safety.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT07505758Recruiting
Recovery after surgery in adults 80 and older
This study looks at how well adults aged 80 or older recover after planned surgery that requires an overnight hospital stay. The goal is to understand recovery using a simple questionnaire.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 80 years+ - NCT05700617RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing cardiac pumping strength in cardiogenic shock
This early study looks at how well the heart is pumping in people with cardiogenic shock, using measurements taken during a right-heart catheter (a small pressure-monitoring test). It may help doctors better assess heart function and guide next-step treatments like LVAD, heart transplant, or valve surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07023185Recruiting
Cold and compression after knee replacement
This study will test if adding cold and compression therapy after knee replacement surgery can help with pain, swelling, and recovery. You may qualify if you are 50 or older and having a knee replacement with a specific surgeon.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 50 years+ - NCT04067830RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing muscle training before lung surgery to prevent complications
This trial tests whether training your breathing muscles before lung surgery can reduce lung problems after surgery in people with stage I to IIIb lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and lower the chance of post-surgery lung complications.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05491655Recruiting
Testing a new pacing approach in some heart failure patients
This study looks at whether a high-intensity “His bundle” heart pacing method can help people with heart failure who have a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. It likely aims to improve heart pumping and symptoms in people who are otherwise a good match for an ICD and meet other criteria.
Acquaviva delle Fonti, BariAges 18–90 - NCT06385834Recruiting
Morning vs Evening Exercise After Heart Attack
This study compares the effects of doing aerobic exercise in the morning versus the evening for people who recently had a heart attack. It aims to see if timing of exercise can help the heart recover and function better.
ShanghaiAges 17–75 - NCT07485738Recruiting
Blood flow during bypass surgery and graft recovery
This study looks at how blood flow readings during coronary artery bypass surgery relate to whether the new grafts stay open and how well patients recover. It aims to help improve long-term results for people needing bypass surgery.

Heart bypass risk study for planned surgeries
This study looks at patient data from people who had a planned coronary artery bypass graft (heart bypass) to create a better way to predict risks. It may help future patients understand their own surgery risks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac surgery patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 389 recruiting cardiac surgery patients 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 cardiac surgery patients 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 cardiac surgery patients 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.
