MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06358222Recruiting
Lung cancer trial testing blood test and PET scan for spread
This trial studies if a blood test that looks for tumor DNA combined with a PET-CT scan can better predict if lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07049913Recruiting
Gore TBE trial for descending thoracic aorta conditions in Japan
This trial tests a device called the GORE TAG Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis (TBE) for people with certain diseases in the descending part of the main artery in the chest. It's designed to treat conditions like aortic aneurysm, traumatic tears, or complex aortic dissections while keeping blood flow to a key artery in the left arm.
Osaka, SuitaAges Any age - NCT07049276Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for melanoma with immunotherapy
This trial tests if a specific type of lymph node surgery, combined with a short course of immunotherapy (medicines that help your immune system fight cancer), works better for melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It's for people whose melanoma can be removed and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07033572Recruiting
Hybrid scope surgery and ablation for both sides of thyroid cancer
This study tests a combined approach—removing the main thyroid cancer with a tiny camera (endoscope) and using targeted heat to destroy a small nodule on the opposite side. It aims to treat both sides of the thyroid at once with less scarring and faster recovery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT06915545Recruiting
Studying a new stent graft for type B aortic dissection
This trial tests a special stent graft for people with a type B aortic dissection that needs a new blood flow path to the left subclavian artery. The device is placed in the aortic arch to repair the tear and keep blood flowing normally.
ChangshaAges 18–80 - NCT06954233Recruiting
Urination and erections after lymph node surgery for testicular cancer
This study looks at how removing lymph nodes in the back of the belly for testicular cancer affects urination and erectile function. It may help patients understand what to expect after this surgery.
Krakow, MalopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06945809Recruiting
Sealing distal tears after aortic dissection repair
This trial tests a new device (WeFlow-EndoPatch) to seal small tears in the aorta after previous dissection repair. It may be an option if you have 1 or 2 small tears in your descending aorta and are generally healthy enough for a catheter procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06320158Recruiting
Understanding muscle loss and obesity in older adults
This study looks at the link between muscle loss (sarcopenia) and obesity in older adults. It aims to understand why some older people who are overweight or obese also lose muscle strength and function, and how this affects recovery after hip surgery.
MilanAges 65–99 - NCT06878729Recruiting
Comparing two ways to open a blocked heart artery
This trial tests two procedures—antegrade dissection/re-entry and the retrograde method—to treat a completely blocked artery. It compares which technique works better for patients with complex blockages.
Warsaw, WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT06848309Recruiting
Immune response study for influenza or COVID-19
This study looks at how your immune system fights off flu or COVID-19. If you have a current or recent infection, or if you've been vaccinated in the past year, you may be able to join.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–60 - NCT06821490Enrolling by invitation
TAD biopsy for HER2+ breast cancer with positive lymph nodes
This trial tests the accuracy of a targeted axillary dissection (TAD) after chemotherapy in people with HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. It aims to see if the TAD method can correctly identify which lymph nodes are cancer-free before surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06803732Recruiting
Pain after robotic, endoscopic or open neck surgery for thyroid cancer
This trial compares pain levels after three different surgical methods for removing cancerous lymph nodes in the neck. It may help patients with thyroid cancer that has spread to neck lymph nodes understand which approach causes less discomfort.

Pain relief after head and neck reconstructive surgery
This study compares two medicines, sufentanil and methadone, for pain control after head and neck surgery that uses a flap to rebuild tissue. The goal is to find which option works better and has fewer side effects.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06754904Recruiting
Skipping lymph node removal for melanoma with good treatment response
This trial tests whether patients with stage 3 melanoma that shrinks significantly after initial immunotherapy can safely avoid having all their lymph nodes surgically removed. Instead, only the main affected node is removed for testing.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 16 years+ - NCT06738888Recruiting
Better predicting easy thyroid removal through mouth or under chin
This study compares two approaches for thyroid removal surgery—one through the mouth and one under the chin—to find which is easier to perform. It is for people with thyroid nodules or early thyroid cancer that hasn't spread.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06623266Recruiting
Observation vs. neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This study compares two approaches for early-stage mouth cancer: careful observation of the neck versus a preventive surgery to remove neck lymph nodes. The goal is to see which strategy works better to prevent cancer from spreading.
