Recruiting studies
- NCT06885268RecruitingPhase 3
Blood pressure management during non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
KatowiceAges 45 years+ - NCT06802224RecruitingPhase 4
Medication to prevent kidney injury after major surgery
This study compares two medications given during surgery to see which one better protects the kidneys after the procedure. If you are having major non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and you need medication to support your blood pressure, this trial may be a good fit.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06324461RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 drug to protect heart after non-emergency surgery
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medication used for diabetes and weight loss) can reduce heart damage during or after planned non-cardiac surgery. It may help patients with heart risk undergoing intermediate to high-risk procedures.
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SARAges 18 years+ - NCT06133842Recruiting
Brain blood flow and confusion after surgery study
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT05824260Recruiting
Study of risk factors for complications after major surgery
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04707794Recruiting
Preventing confusion after non-heart surgery in older adults
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 65 years+ - NCT02573532Recruiting
Tracking heart damage after non-cardiac surgery
This study looks at whether patients experience heart muscle injury during or shortly after non-cardiac surgery. It aims to understand how common this is and what it means for recovery.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 45 years+ - NCT06575530RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam for sedation after non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06895590Recruiting
Testing a new water-based blood pressure cuff
This trial tests a new, very accurate blood pressure cuff that uses water to get a better reading. It is for adults who already need a standard blood pressure cuff and an arterial line as part of their hospital care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07810621Recruiting
Low cardiac output after heart surgery
This study looks at how well the heart pumps right after bypass surgery and whether a special monitor can help predict problems. It may help doctors support patients better after surgery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07019857Recruiting
Thymus removal and immunity in infant heart surgery
This study looks at how removing the thymus gland during infant heart surgery affects the immune system. It compares babies who have their thymus removed with those who have heart surgery without removing it, and with babies having other types of surgery.
NantesAges Up to 6 months - NCT06706323Recruiting
Depression after heart surgery study
This study looks at depressive symptoms in people who have had heart bypass surgery. It aims to understand how patients feel emotionally after surgery and may help improve care.
ZurichAges 18–90 - NCT05993754Recruiting
Preventing confusion after surgery in frail older adults
This study tests whether a special nursing care plan can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults who are frail. If you are 65 or older, having planned surgery, and generally healthy enough, this trial may be an option.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 65 years+ - NCT06918132RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and Fianlimab before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) given before surgery can help treat stage IB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. You must have a PD-L1 level of at least 1% and your surgeon must think the tumor can be fully removed.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07675993Recruiting
Sleep and anesthesia in non-heart surgery
This study looks at how sleep problems before surgery affect the amount of anesthesia needed and how well you recover after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to help doctors personalize care for better recovery.
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 18–65

- How do I know if I qualify for a non-cardiac 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 non-cardiac 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.
