Recruiting studies
- NCT06626243Recruiting
Comparing surgery types for lung cancer after pre-surgery therapy
This trial compares different surgical methods (robotic, VATS, or open surgery) used to remove lung cancer after patients have had chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before their operation. It looks at results from five specialized hospitals to help understand which approach may work best.

ValenciaAges Any age - NCT03307018Recruiting
Check if bronchoscopy after lung surgery prevents complications
This study looks at whether doing a brief breathing-tube exam (bronchoscopy) after specific lung surgery can lower the chance of lung complications. It may help improve recovery and reduce post-surgery breathing problems.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–89 - NCT07660900Recruiting
Study of force feedback in robotic lung surgery
This study looks at how force feedback during robotic lung surgery might affect recovery. If you are having robotic lung surgery at Ohio State, you may be able to join.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06821451Recruiting
Robot-guided dye marking for lung nodule surgery
This trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07386626Recruiting
Tegileridine and nerve block for lung surgery pain
This study looks at whether adding tegileridine to a nerve block (numbing the nerves between the ribs) can reduce pain after removing part of a lung. It might help you need fewer pain medicines and feel more comfortable after surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07365072Recruiting
Prehab before lung cancer surgery: the PRIMROSE trial
This trial tests whether a program called Prehab (which helps you get stronger before treatment) improves recovery after lung cancer surgery. You may join if you have lung cancer that can be surgically removed and you are referred for Prehab.
SwanseaAges 18–90 - NCT06936969Recruiting
Sugar vs. blood patch for air leak after lung surgery
This study compares two treatments for a stubborn air leak that continues more than 5 days after lung surgery. One treatment uses a concentrated sugar solution, the other uses your own blood to patch the leak. The goal is to see which works better to stop the leak and help you heal.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06339268Recruiting
Brain and body training to prevent confusion after lung surgery
This study tests whether special physical and brain exercises before and after lung surgery can help older adults (ages 60+) avoid confusion or memory problems. Participants will use a tablet or phone to follow the program.
BelgradeAges 60 years+ - NCT07159659Recruiting
Medium chain triglyceride diet after lung surgery
This trial tests whether a special diet with medium chain triglycerides (a type of fat) after lung surgery can help you go home sooner. If you are having a lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe) and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
ShatinAges 18–80 - NCT07063602Recruiting
Comparing nerve block methods for pain after lung surgery
This study compares two ways of giving a paravertebral nerve block (an injection near the spine to numb the chest) to control pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. It aims to find the best approach for reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07018375RecruitingPhase 4
Oliceridine for pain after lung surgery
This study tests a new pain medication called oliceridine given through an IV after lung surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. Participation may help improve pain management after surgery.
Baoding, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT06276530Recruiting
Lung surgery: large incision vs. robotic approach and breathing
This study compares how different types of lung surgery (a large incision vs. robotic-assisted small cuts) affect your posture and breathing. It aims to help doctors choose the best approach for recovery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06432634Enrolling by invitation
Study of lung rehab before and after lung surgery
This study tests a hospital rehab program to see if it helps people recover better after lung surgery. It may help if you have trouble breathing or have limited lung function before surgery.
Chiayi CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07122687RecruitingPhase 2
IBI363 or Pembrolizumab with Chemo before Lung Cancer Surgery
This trial tests two different drug combinations (IBI363 plus chemo versus pembrolizumab plus chemo) given before surgery for people with a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better at shrinking the tumor and helping patients recover.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT05755672Recruiting
Study biomarkers during curative-intent treatment for metastatic colon cancer
This study looks at biological markers (substances measured in the body) during treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works, using patients who are treated with a goal of cure.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–110 - NCT06483698Recruiting
Tracking recovery after early lung cancer surgery
This study follows people with stage I lung cancer to see how they do after surgery. It aims to learn what affects recovery and long-term outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06404164Recruiting
3D Lung Map to Guide Small Nodule Surgery
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07323056RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant drug combo for stage 3 EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests two drugs, sacituzumab tirumotecan and limertinib, given before surgery to people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05487391RecruitingPhase 3
QL1706 plus chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a study drug called QL1706 added to standard platinum chemotherapy can lower the chance of lung cancer coming back after surgery. It targets people with stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who have had their tumor fully removed.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07436598Recruiting
3D modeling before lung surgery to predict lung function
This trial uses 3D models from your CT scan to help doctors predict how well your lungs will work after surgery. It is for people having a certain type of lung surgery (VATS) to remove part of a lung.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06907160Recruiting
Genetic testing before lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumors respond to chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It uses genetic tests on the tumor and blood to personalize treatment and possibly improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung resection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 160 recruiting lung resection 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 lung resection 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 lung resection 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.
