Recruiting studies
- NCT06593665RecruitingPhase 3
Morphine in spine vs. IV methadone for testicular cancer surgery pain
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after surgery for testicular cancer: a single injection of morphine into the spine (intrathecal morphine) vs. methadone given through an IV during surgery. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06550986Recruiting

This trial tests a new polymer device to close the false lumen (an extra channel) in the aorta for people with type B aortic dissection. It may prevent the aorta from growing and reduce the risk of complications.
AucklandAges 18 years+ - NCT06476678Recruiting
Testing a new ablation knife for esophageal growths
This study tests a new tool that uses radiofrequency energy to remove precancerous growths from the esophagus. It may be an option if you have a surface-level polyp in your esophagus that hasn't been treated before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04592003Recruiting
French study of colorectal ESD performed by expert centers

AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06144736RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery for stage 2 seminoma testicular cancer trial
This trial is testing whether removing affected lymph nodes with surgery (RPLND) works well alone for seminoma testicular cancer that has spread to nearby nodes but is still relatively small. It is for patients who have not had extensive chemo or radiation.
DüsseldorfAges 18–99 - NCT06389786Recruiting
Using a new PET scan to find cancer spread before prostate surgery
This trial tests a special PET/MRI scan that may help doctors see if prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes before surgery. It could help guide treatment decisions for men with high-risk prostate cancer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 30–85 - NCT06396806Enrolling by invitation
Sigmoid cancer surgery with or without dye tracing
This trial compares two surgical approaches for sigmoid colon cancer to see if using a special dye to see lymph nodes during surgery leads to better outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06353906RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for advanced penile cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for penile cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer before or after surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06327490RecruitingPhase 2
ICG-guided vs. traditional lymphatic drainage for breast cancer surgery
This trial compares a new imaging method (ICG) to the standard method for manual lymphatic drainage during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce swelling in the arm after lymph node removal.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT06309745Recruiting
Lowering treatment for Stage II testicular cancer
This trial tests lowering the intensity of treatment (de-escalation) for Stage II seminoma, a type of testicular cancer. You may receive either a surgery to remove lymph nodes or a single round of chemotherapy (carboplatin), instead of more aggressive standard treatments, to see if it's safe and effective.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT06254911RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial tests whether giving the drug atezolizumab before surgery can help shrink HPV-related throat cancer and improve outcomes. Atezolizumab helps your immune system fight cancer cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04780256Recruiting
Study of removing digestive tumors with an endoscopy procedure
This trial looks at people (18 or older) who already had a digestive tract tumor removed using an endoscopy procedure. It may help doctors learn how this approach works and what outcomes to expect after removal.
Reggio Emilia, REAges 18–100 - NCT06159634Recruiting
Traction vs. No traction for colon polyp removal
This study tests whether using a special 'traction' method makes it easier and safer to remove certain types of colon polyps during a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It may help people with large or difficult-to-remove polyps.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06144164RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06142929Recruiting
Nerve study in Dupuytren surgery
This study looks at tiny nerves in Dupuytren disease and whether removing them during surgery helps prevent the disease from coming back. It may help you understand if this surgical approach is right for you.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT04747626Recruiting
Stent-based repair for damaged upper aorta segments
This trial studies a specific surgical approach using branched stents to repair multiple damaged parts of the upper (thoracic) aorta. It may help people who need urgent or complex aortic repair and are expected to survive more than two years.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04471909Recruiting
Stent graft for aortic arch problems in high-risk patients
This study tests a new stent graft device to treat problems in the aortic arch, such as aneurysms or chronic dissections, without open surgery. It may help people who are not good candidates for traditional open repair.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05896397Recruiting
Collecting European data for Cook aortic medical devices
This study collects information from routine care about patients who receive a Cook CMD. It may help improve how these devices are used and tracked over time by using medical record data.
Aarhus, DenmarkAges Any age - NCT05800743Enrolling by invitation
Stent grafts for high-risk ascending aorta problems
This study tests a new stent graft placed through the groin/back to treat problems in the ascending aorta (and sometimes the arch), usually when open-heart surgery is considered too risky. Doctors will check whether the device is safe and works well over time, including imaging and a long follow-up.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05763641Recruiting
Targeted treatment after chemo for certain breast cancers
This trial studies an additional treatment given after chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer that has spread to specific underarm lymph nodes. It may help some people reduce cancer returning, especially when tumors match certain growth and spread features.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05707078Recruiting
PET/CT follow-up for head and neck cancer
This study uses a PET/CT scan (a special scan that can look for signs of cancer activity) after curative treatment for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to help check how well prior treatment is working and whether cancer may come back.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05628948Recruiting
Donate blood for a heart and metabolism research biobank
This study builds a “biobank,” which is a collection of blood and related samples, to support future research on heart and metabolic (sugar/body-fat) conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future prevention and treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05593458RecruitingPhase 3
Stomach cancer surgery before chemo: artery-based or drip chemo
This trial compares two ways of giving chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus cancer: chemo sent through an artery versus chemo given through an IV line. It also studies adding PD-1 immunotherapy to see which approach works better and is safer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT02323581Recruiting
Stent procedure for large aortic aneurysms with custom grafts
This trial studies a less invasive “through-the-blood-vessel” stent graft procedure for large aneurysms in the main aorta or the aortic arch. It may help reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture while avoiding open surgery for people at higher surgical risk.

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.
