StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06862115RecruitingPhase 3
Stopping blood pressure meds before colon cancer surgery: a study
This trial looks at whether temporarily stopping certain blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors or ARBs) before colorectal cancer surgery can reduce heart injury after the operation. If you have high blood pressure and are scheduled for major colon or rectal cancer surgery, this study may help determine the safest approach.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06215326Recruiting
Short-term exercise before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07642024RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
BL-B01D1 Plus Osimertinib Before Surgery for EGFR-Mutated Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (BL-B01D1 and osimertinib) given before surgery to shrink EGFR-mutated lung tumors. The goal is to help make surgery more successful and improve outcomes for patients with this type of non-small cell lung cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06987903Recruiting
Exercise and breathing program before weight-loss surgery
This trial tests if a program of physical exercise and breathing exercises before bariatric surgery helps patients recover better. It is for people having surgery at the Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital in Vigo.
Vigo, PontevedraAges 18–69 - NCT07699939RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug HLX10 (serplulimab) to standard chemotherapy (S-1 plus oxaliplatin) before and after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a high level of PD-L1 protein.
Chiba, ChibaAges 18–80 - NCT05015296Recruiting
Immune cells and recovery in colorectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07632664Recruiting
New treatment model for older lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a new approach to help older adults (65+) with early-stage lung cancer who are candidates for surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes by using a special assessment to understand each patient's overall health before and after the operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT04049214Recruiting
Mindfulness program during breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a structured mindfulness program before and after breast cancer surgery can reduce stress and improve how patients feel and cope. You may be offered mindfulness materials to use around the time of your operation.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04091724Recruiting
EEG monitoring during surgery to reduce delirium in children
This study checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
Wuhan, HubeiAges Up to 16 years - NCT04451473Recruiting
Compare recovery programs after lung surgery
This trial compares two ways of helping patients recover after lung surgery: a “enhanced recovery” plan versus standard care. It may help your team find a recovery approach that improves comfort and recovery after surgery for certain lung problems.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT04654923Recruiting
Survey of allergic reactions around anesthesia
This study collects information about people who had an allergic-type reaction around surgery or anesthesia. It aims to understand how often these reactions happen and to improve future care. You may be able to join if your reaction fits the time window and you agree to use your records.
StrasbourgAges 7 years+ - NCT04792554Recruiting
Study of aging around major non-heart surgery
This study looks at changes in health and function in older adults before and after major surgery. It may help doctors understand how “aging” affects recovery and what could improve outcomes.
SingaporeAges 65–100 - NCT04808401Recruiting
Testing how different oxygen levels affect surgery outcomes
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04832568Recruiting
EEG monitoring to predict and prevent postoperative delirium
This study checks brain-wave signals during heart surgery (using EEG monitoring) to understand who is at risk for confusion after surgery. If you qualify, your team will track your thinking after the operation to help reduce or better manage postoperative delirium.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04850729Recruiting
Study links surgery medicines to the stomach tumor environment
This trial looks at how medicines given around the time of stomach cancer surgery may change the “tumor microenvironment,” which is the biology around the tumor. It may help doctors better understand which perioperative treatments work best for locally advanced, operable stomach cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04876950Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perioperative?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 338 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.
