Testing adebrelimab, apatinib, and HAIC for bile duct cancer
This trial tests if adding a combination of immunotherapy (adebrelimab), a targeted drug (apatinib), and chemotherapy into the liver artery (HAIC) before and after surgery can help people with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer).

Testing a blood marker for nerve problems after carotid artery surgery
This study checks whether a blood protein called GFAP, which can rise when the brain is stressed or injured, helps predict nerve-related problems after carotid artery surgery. If you are having this surgery, your blood will be tested before and after to see if GFAP levels are linked to any complications.
Bursa, BursaAges 35–90 - NCT07847710RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before and after surgery for early liver cancer
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs (one that helps the immune system fight cancer and one that blocks blood vessel growth) with a special chemotherapy given directly into the liver. The goal is to shrink the tumor so it can be removed with surgery, possibly improving the chances of a cure.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07843589Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided neck block for pain relief during thyroid surgery
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in the neck to see which one provides better pain relief during and after thyroid surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve comfort for patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.

Immunotherapy plus chemo before & after junction cancer surgery
This trial tests giving an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) along with two chemotherapy drugs (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) before and after surgery for a specific type of stomach-cancer junction tumor. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective in shrinking the tumor and improving outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07809425Recruiting
Pain relief options for gastric bypass surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after gastric bypass surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus a lidocaine drip. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.
AlexandriaAges 18–60 - NCT07809763Recruiting
Home exercise program with wearable device for older adults before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a home-based exercise and health program that uses a wearable device and smartphone app to help older adults prepare for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve fitness and recovery before and after your operation.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 65–85 - NCT06506292RecruitingPhase 2
Study of adebrelimab plus chemo before and after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests combining adebrelimab (an immunotherapy) with chemotherapy (XELOX) before and after surgery for stomach cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07801287RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment before and after surgery for intermediate-stage liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy drugs, radiation therapy, and a targeted therapy drug before and after surgery for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT06510543Recruiting
Nutrition drink before and after esophageal cancer surgery
This study tests a special nutrition drink (ORAL IMPACT®) before and after esophageal cancer surgery. It aims to help patients who are malnourished get stronger and recover better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06560528RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before & after surgery for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy) before and after surgery for locally advanced HER2-positive stomach cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients whose cancer has not yet spread.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07783464Recruiting
Heart rate variability and delirium after major abdominal surgery in older adults
This study looks at whether heart rate variability (a measure of your heart's ability to adapt to stress) can help predict delirium (confusion or disorientation) after major abdominal surgery in older adults. You may qualify if you are 65-85 years old, having major abdominal surgery, and do not have serious heart, nervous system, or memory problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 65–85 - NCT07780526Recruiting
Predicting intensive care needs after surgery
This study looks at whether anesthesiologists can predict which patients will need intensive care after surgery or a procedure. It may help improve how doctors plan care for patients after operations.
VanAges 18 years+ - NCT06198400Recruiting
Dye test for blood flow after pancreas surgery
This trial uses a special dye to check blood flow in the remaining part of your pancreas after surgery. It helps doctors see if the tissue is getting enough blood, which can improve healing and reduce complications.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT07770204Recruiting

Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - NCT07758894Recruiting
Breathing without a breathing tube during heart transplant surgery
This study tests whether heart transplant surgery can be done while the patient is awake and breathing on their own, instead of using a breathing tube. If successful, it may lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perioperative?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 332 recruiting perioperative 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 perioperative 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 perioperative 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.
