Lung Resection clinical trials

Fluid monitoring during lung surgery for high-risk patients

This study tests a new way to monitor your body's fluid levels during lung surgery, especially for patients who are at higher risk for complications. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce problems after surgery.

Comparing treatment timing for stage II-IIIB lung cancer

This trial is for people with a certain type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer) that can be surgically removed. It tests whether it is better to receive treatment before or after surgery to remove the cancer.

Study of lung cancer surgery patients and their outcomes

This study looks at the characteristics, treatments, and results of people who have had surgery to remove lung cancer. It aims to help doctors understand what happens after surgery.

Two breathing strategies during lung surgery for lung cancer

This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.

Proton beam radiation after lung cancer surgery

This trial tests if proton beam radiation therapy is safe and effective after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy before their surgery.

Tele-yoga for recovery after lung cancer surgery

This trial tests whether online yoga classes can help people with lung cancer recover better after surgery to remove part of a lung. If you have had surgery for early-stage lung cancer and can use the internet, you may be able to join.

Probiotic LR607 for newly diagnosed lung cancer

This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (LR607) can help patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer—a common type of lung cancer. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that may help your immune system fight cancer alongside standard treatments.

Sacituzumab and zimberelimab for lung cancer after surgery

This trial tests a combination of two drugs (sacituzumab and zimberelimab) for people with non-small cell lung cancer that was confined to the chest, was surgically removed, but not completely cleared by prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent the cancer from coming back.

Predicting fluid overload during prostate surgery

This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid overload in men having prostate surgery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which ultrasound method works best to prevent complications.

Swallowing test to predict vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery

This study checks whether a simple swallowing test can forecast vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery, compared with a camera exam of the throat. If predictions are accurate, it may help doctors prevent or plan treatment for swallowing and voice problems.

Surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung

This trial tests if removing the main lung tumor can help patients whose cancer has spread to the lining of the lung (M1a stage) but not to other organs. It is for people who have not had any prior treatment for lung cancer.

Stanford program to speed up robotic surgery for children

This trial tests a faster, robotic-assisted surgery for children ages 6 to 21. It aims to see if completing part of the operation using a robot can be as safe and effective as traditional open surgery, possibly leading to quicker recovery and less pain.

Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery

This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.

Respiratory Variability and Postoperative Complications During Thoracic Lung Resection.

Comparing suction pressures after lung cancer surgery

This study tests two different suction pressures used on chest tubes after lung cancer surgery to see which helps patients recover better. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to remove fluid and air from the chest cavity after surgery.

Intensive rehab after lung cancer surgery

This trial looks at whether a more intensive exercise program after keyhole surgery for lung cancer helps you recover faster. It involves cycling on a stationary bike while supervised by a physiotherapist.

Heart MRI and stress test after lung or esophagus surgery

This study uses a heart MRI with a stress medication to see how well the right side of the heart pumps after lung or upper digestive surgery. It may help doctors understand heart recovery after these operations.

Cough risk after lung surgery via thoracoscope

This study looks at why some people develop a cough after having part of a lung removed through small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help identify who is more likely to have this side effect.

Omega-3 nutrition before lung cancer surgery

This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.

Oxygen to the healthy lung during lung surgery

This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.

Using patient tumor cells to test lung cancer treatment response

This study looks at lung cancer samples you provide to see how tumor cells respond to treatment. It may help researchers find better ways to choose treatments for lung cancer by testing response in a lab model.

Adding surgery to osimertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer

This trial tests whether removing the main lung tumor with surgery after 12 weeks of osimertinib (a targeted pill) helps control cancer better than osimertinib alone, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and limited spread.

Chemo and immunotherapy with targeted radiation before surgery for lung cancer

This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.

Using a computer tool to find lung cancer relapse risk

This study uses a machine-learning computer method to identify people with early-stage lung cancer who have a higher risk of the cancer coming back after surgery. If you qualify, your information may help researchers improve how doctors predict relapse and plan follow-up care.
