Freezing lung tumors plus immunotherapy for liver cancer with lung spread
This study tests a combination of treatments—freezing the lung tumors (cryoablation) plus two drugs (cardonilizumab and bevacizumab)—for people with liver cancer that has spread only to their lungs. It may be an option if your first treatment stopped working but your liver tumors are under control.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03721783Recruiting
Study of freezing treatment for children when doctors choose cryoablation
This trial enrolls children whose doctors decide they need a freezing procedure called cryoablation. The study looks at how this treatment is used in infants and children, including situations where it may be difficult or not possible at some point.
LondonAges Up to 18 years - NCT07567027Recruiting
Testing a spacing gel to improve prostate cancer freezing treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel placed between the prostate and rectum improves the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation—a freezing treatment for prostate cancer. The gel aims to protect the rectum from cold damage during the procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT06572540Recruiting
Cryoablation for early-stage lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05218044Recruiting
Cryoablation for small DCIS instead of breast surgery
This trial studies whether cryoablation (freezing abnormal breast tissue) can treat DCIS, a non-invasive early breast cancer, without surgical lumpectomy. It aims to see if a less invasive approach could help people with small, limited-area DCIS while avoiding some effects of surgery.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01788410Recruiting
MRI-guided freezing treatment for neck, head, and spine pain
This trial studies an MRI-guided procedure that “freezes” targeted nerves or joints to reduce pain in the head, neck, or spine. It may help if your pain comes from a joint problem or a compressed/damaged nerve and you can safely have MRI scans before and after the treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07847359RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing and drug combination for melanoma that has spread to the liver
This trial tests a combination of treatments for melanoma that has spread to the liver after standard treatment. It uses freezing (cryoablation), a targeted drug (lenvatinib), chemotherapy (dacarbazine), and two immunotherapy drugs to try to shrink liver tumors and control the cancer. The goal is to see if this combined approach is safe and effective for patients whose cancer has not responded to prior therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07776262Recruiting
Freezing thyroid tumors and nodules
This trial tests a treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy small thyroid cancers and large benign nodules. It may be an option for people who cannot or do not want to have surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07726446RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing, immunotherapy, and chemo for bile duct tumors
This study tests a new treatment approach for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has not been treated before. It combines a freezing procedure (cryoablation) with an immunotherapy drug (Relaforp Alpha) and chemotherapy to see if it can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07671898Recruiting
Freezing vs. Radiofrequency for Slow Heart Rate
This trial compares two procedures to treat very slow heart rates without needing a pacemaker. One uses freezing (cryoablation) and the other uses radiofrequency energy to target nerves that control heart rate.
Tomsk, Tomsk OblastAges 18–60 - NCT06698159Recruiting
Wider pulmonary vein isolation in AFib ablation with single-shot cryoablation
This study tests a new approach to a common procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib) called pulmonary vein isolation. It uses a single-shot cryoablation technique to treat people with paroxysmal or persistent AFib.
Pozzilli, IserniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07629206Recruiting
Freezing therapy for small, early-stage breast cancer
This study tests whether freezing a small breast tumor (cryoablation) is a safe and effective treatment option for older adults with early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. Instead of surgery, the goal is to destroy the tumor by freezing it in place.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT07602049RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing Plus Immunotherapy for Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma
This trial combines cryoablation (a freezing technique to destroy tumors) with camrelizumab (an immunotherapy drug that helps your immune system fight cancer) for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 14–70 - NCT07447414Recruiting
Freezing small hormone-driven breast cancers
This study tests cryoablation (freezing) to treat small, early stage breast cancers that are hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. It may be an option for postmenopausal women who want to avoid surgery.
Lugo, LugoAges Any age - NCT05098847RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors plus anti-cancer drugs for spread cancer
This trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) liver metastases works better when combined with immunotherapy (sintilimab) and a targeted pill (lenvatinib). It’s for people whose cancer has spread to the liver and has not responded to earlier treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04299581RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing treatment plus immunotherapy for advanced bile-duct cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing part of the liver tumor (cryoablation) combined with an immunotherapy drug called anti–PD-1 can shrink advanced bile-duct cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It may help control the cancer after prior treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05057052RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors with immunotherapy and a pill drug
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) plus sintilimab (an immune system medicine) and regorafenib (a pill) can shrink colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for people whose cancer has come back or progressed after at least two prior chemotherapy treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05057845RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing treatment plus immunotherapy and a pill for liver cancer
This trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) combined with tislelizumab and lenvatinib can help shrink advanced liver cancer and improve outcomes after earlier treatments stopped working or caused side effects. It may be an option if your cancer can’t be removed with surgery and you’ve already tried one prior systemic (whole-body) treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06032845RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing tumors plus immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests if freezing tumor cells (cryoablation) combined with two drugs (tislelizumab and lenvatinib) can help people whose solid tumors have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07301411Recruiting
Freezing lung tumors guided by a breathing tube camera
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope) to guide the freezing probe. It is for people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who cannot or prefer not to have surgery or radiation.

Cryoablation plus immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests combining cryoablation (freezing tumors) with a dual-antibody drug (PD-1/CTLA-4) for people whose locally advanced pancreatic cancer has stopped responding to first-line chemotherapy (AG regimen). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cryoablation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 64 recruiting cryoablation 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 cryoablation 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 cryoablation 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.
