Recruiting studies
- NCT07439991Recruiting
Study of blood clot risks after lung cancer surgery
This study looks at why some people develop blood clots after lung cancer surgery. By tracking your recovery for 30 days, researchers hope to find better ways to predict and prevent clots in the future.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT07060625Enrolling by invitation
Does a raised position help oxygen after lung surgery?
This study tests whether a slightly raised head-and-shoulders position (semi-recumbent) helps prevent low oxygen levels after lung surgery. If you are having a small-incision lung removal, it may help you breathe better after the operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06244264Recruiting
Using your own blood during spine surgery for lung cancer
This study tests the safety and effectiveness of using your own blood (collected before surgery) during spine surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the backbone. It may help people whose spine is unstable or causing nerve problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05557474Recruiting
Test of a lung cancer prognosis kit after early tumor removal
This study tests a lab “prognosis kit” to better predict how early-stage lung cancer may progress after the tumor has been fully removed. You may be asked to provide tumor samples and possibly blood/body fluid samples so researchers can validate the kit.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT06577844Recruiting
Video support for lung cancer surgery patients
This trial tests whether a video tool helps patients prepare for lung cancer surgery. It aims to improve understanding and reduce anxiety before and after the procedure.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04537182Recruiting
Surgery versus bronchoscopy for severe emphysema
This study compares two ways to reduce lung “overinflation” in people with severe emphysema: surgery (LVRS) or a bronchoscopy procedure (BLVR). It aims to see which approach works best and is safest for eligible patients.
ViennaAges 30–80 - 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 - NCT06674252Recruiting
Herbal treatment for symptoms after lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether a modified herbal formula (Bufei Decoction) can help reduce symptoms like cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath in older adults after lung cancer surgery, and whether it improves survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT06349174Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests whether placing tiny valves in the airways can help people with severe COPD breathe easier. It is for people who still have trouble breathing despite quitting smoking and completing pulmonary rehab.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT04944563Recruiting
Segmentectomy vs lobectomy for small middle-lung lung cancer
This trial compares two types of lung surgery for certain small lung cancers in the middle part of the lung: removing a segment (segmentectomy) versus removing a whole lobe (lobectomy). It aims to see which surgery works better while balancing cancer control and lung function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT02984761Recruiting
Surgery vs focused radiation for early lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early-stage lung cancer: surgery or a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy. It aims to find out which approach works best for people whose cancer is small and has not spread.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06465277Recruiting
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.
Belfast, Northern IrelandAges 18 years+ - NCT06531460Recruiting
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.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07070362Recruiting
Digital early warning system for lung injury after liver surgery
This trial tests a digital early warning system to detect acute lung injury after liver surgery. It may help doctors catch breathing problems early so they can treat them faster.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06848751Recruiting
Tubeless lung surgery for patients with weak lungs
This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
Jinan, ShandongAges 14–85 - NCT06926179Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests using immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for non-small cell lung cancer. It looks at how safe and effective this approach is and how it affects survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06483295Recruiting
Mobile app support after lung cancer surgery
This study uses a mobile internet platform (WeChat) to check on how patients are doing after lung cancer surgery. It aims to improve your recovery and quality of life by collecting updates on your health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05630443Recruiting
Prone position after major abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks at whether placing you in a face-down (prone) position after major abdominal cancer surgery can improve recovery. You may be offered this positioning approach after your operation if it’s safe for you.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT06732193Recruiting
Fissios App for recovery after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app (Fissios) after lung cancer surgery helps you recover with fewer complications. If you are scheduled for lung surgery for non-small cell lung cancer and have a smartphone, you may be eligible.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07235098Recruiting
Music therapy for lung cancer surgery patients
This trial tests whether listening to music in the hospital can help reduce distress and pain after surgery for lung cancer. If you are having a minimally invasive surgery (keyhole surgery) to remove part of your lung, you may be able to join.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06296173Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing tube removal after surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 158 recruiting lung surgery 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 surgery 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 surgery 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.
