Removing large colon polyps: one piece vs. multiple pieces
This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05774483Recruiting
Check nodes in early mouth cancer using a biopsy or planned neck surgery
This trial studies two ways to check whether early oral cavity cancer has spread to nearby neck lymph nodes. It compares sentinel node biopsy versus limited elective neck dissection to see which approach is more useful for people with node-negative tongue or inner-cheek cancers.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT05215587Recruiting
Testing treatment for uncomplicated type B aortic tear
This trial studies which treatment is best for people with a recent, “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). It may help doctors choose safer care for patients whose dissection has not yet caused major complications.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06634979Recruiting
Selective lymph node removal for small lung cancers
This trial compares removing fewer lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It is for people with a small tumor (2 cm or less) that has both solid and ground-glass parts.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06675617Recruiting
Additional stent for type B aortic dissection treatment
This trial tests a new device, called the Allay aortic stent, that is used along with a standard stent graft to treat a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). The goal is to improve how the aorta heals and reduce complications. It is for people whose dissection extends into the abdomen and are already planned for stent grafting.
SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04555226Recruiting

Comparing two dyes for lymph node surgery in breast cancer
This trial compares two dyes (ICG and blue patent) to see which is better for finding the first lymph node (sentinel node) during surgery in women with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes and who had chemotherapy first.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06336213Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide antibiotics in aorta surgery
This trial checks if a blood test called presepsin can help doctors decide when to use antibiotics in patients having surgery on the chest's main artery (the thoracic aorta). It is for people with an aneurysm or tear in that artery.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–75 - NCT06262516Recruiting
Lymph node removal during kidney/ureter cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing nearby lymph nodes during standard kidney/ureter removal surgery helps people with upper tract urothelial carcinoma. You will be placed into one of two groups – one gets the usual surgery alone, the other gets surgery plus lymph node removal.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 19 years+ - NCT06252129Recruiting
Improving Lymph Node Removal During Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial studies a better way to remove and examine lymph nodes from lung cancer surgery specimens. It aims to improve how doctors check for cancer spread, which may help guide your treatment after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06134687Recruiting
New stiffening tube for colon lesion removal
This trial tests a new flexible tube that becomes stiff to help doctors remove large or complex colon lesions during an endoscopic procedure. It may help people with certain types of flat or scarred growths that are harder to remove safely.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06077981Recruiting
Comparing two fluids for removing surface esophageal tumors
This trial tests two different fluids (hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethylamide) used during a procedure to remove early-stage esophageal cancer. The goal is to see which fluid works better to help the doctor remove the tumor safely.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06044259Recruiting
Comparing two repair methods for acute aortic dissection
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a tear in the main artery (aorta) during an emergency. It aims to see if adding a stent (a small mesh tube) to the standard repair improves outcomes. Participation may help improve treatment for this serious condition.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05912608Enrolling by invitation
Best way to repair certain urgent aortic tears
This study looks at the best surgical strategy for repairing an acute (sudden) tear of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective repair method for people who need urgent surgery soon after symptoms begin.
Saint-DenisAges 18–90 - NCT05699200Recruiting
Study of nerves involved in spontaneous coronary artery dissection
This study looks at how the body’s automatic “fight-or-flight” nerve system may relate to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). If you have a SCAD history, your results may help researchers understand the condition better; if you’re a healthy control, your data are compared to SCAD patients.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05468008Recruiting
Study of endoscopic submucosal removal (ESD)
This trial is checking outcomes for adults who are scheduled to have a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), done through an endoscope. If you’re already planned for ESD and have no reasons you can’t have endoscopy, you may be able to join.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04545502Recruiting
Study of aortic grafts and heart patches after aortic surgery
This study looks at how well certain aortic grafts and cardiovascular patches work after surgery. It may help by improving care for people who need these devices, and by collecting safety and outcome information over time.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04167969RecruitingPhase 1
Nanoparticles to help guide prostate cancer surgery
This Phase 1 study tests nanoparticles (tiny particles) that are meant to help surgeons better find and remove prostate cancer tissue during surgery. You may be offered standard prostate surgery plus imaging with a study tracer to guide the operation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03885635Recruiting
Compare two surgeries for type 1 aortic dissection
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for adults who need emergency surgery for a specific kind of torn aorta (type 1 aortic dissection). It may help your surgical team choose the safest, most effective operation for people with your anatomy and health status.
London, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT03876847Enrolling by invitation
Study genetics in people with spontaneous artery tears
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons some people develop SCAD, a sudden tear in a heart artery. It compares people with SCAD to people without it and may help doctors recognize risk and causes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dissection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 234 recruiting dissection 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 dissection 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 dissection 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.
