Recruiting studies
- NCT06536439Recruiting
Digital tool to plan kidney clamping during robotic surgery
This trial tests a new digital tool that helps surgeons plan the best way to clamp the blood supply to your kidney during robotic surgery. The tool aims to reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue while still blocking the tumor's blood flow.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06090552Recruiting
Surgery planning help for adults 65+
This trial tests a program to help older adults plan their care before surgery. It may help you feel more prepared and supported through the process.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT07193524Recruiting
Study of a new tool to analyze fractures before surgery
This trial is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors plan surgery for a broken leg. It looks at pictures of the break to see if it can make surgery better or easier.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07226453RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin for recurrent PFA ependymoma
This trial tests if metformin can help treat a certain type of brain tumor called PFA ependymoma that has come back after surgery and radiation. It's for people ages 1 to 39 who are healthy enough for surgery or have tumors that can be measured on scans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–39 - NCT06442787Recruiting
New 3D Planning for Jaw Surgery
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18–55 - NCT07001826Recruiting
Custom plates to fix uneven jaw in facial asymmetry
This trial tests whether custom-made surgical plates can more accurately correct a tilted upper jaw (maxillary cant) in people with facial asymmetry. It aims to improve surgical precision and outcomes.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT05429099Recruiting
Planning study for jaw reconstruction surgery
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06460922Recruiting
3D printed wrist models to plan Kienböck's surgery
This study uses 3D printed models of your wrist to help doctors plan surgery for Kienböck's disease (a condition where a wrist bone loses blood supply and breaks down). The goal is to see if these models improve surgical results.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–85 - NCT06907745Recruiting
Accuracy of 3D virtual surgery planning for jaw correction
This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
Milan, MilanAges Any age - NCT02743832Recruiting
Personalized surgery planning for early mouth cancer
This study helps doctors plan surgery more individually for early-stage oral (mouth) squamous cell carcinoma. It focuses on using tumor features found during evaluation to guide surgical decisions, aiming to improve treatment accuracy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20–70 - NCT07155616Enrolling by invitation
Blood flow measurement from CT scan before Whipple surgery
This study uses a computer tool to measure blood flow in the arteries from your CT scan before a Whipple procedure. It may help doctors better plan your surgery.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07042841Enrolling by invitation
AI planning system for liver cancer treatment
This trial uses an AI system to help doctors plan surgery for liver cancer. It is for people who have had a CT scan of their liver and may or may not have a liver tumor.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05757739Recruiting
Open debridement versus Tenex for tennis elbow
This trial compares two ways to treat chronic tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It’s meant to see which option works better for long-lasting pain that affects daily activities.
Burlington, New JerseyAges 18–70 - NCT07111195Recruiting
Using ONCOhabitats to plan brain tumor surgery
This study tests a computer tool called ONCOhabitats that helps doctors plan surgery and treatment for a type of aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma. By using your MRI scans, the tool may help guide the surgeon to remove as much tumor as possible while sparing healthy brain tissue.
AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06272422Recruiting
Comparing hip replacement surgeries with 3D planning
This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07534033RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic LR607 for newly diagnosed lung cancer
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (LR607) can help patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer—a common type of lung cancer. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that may help your immune system fight cancer alongside standard treatments.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT06396533Recruiting
Improving cancer staging before bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if adding a special CT scan before bladder removal helps find muscle-invasive bladder cancer earlier. It includes people with different stages of bladder cancer who are planning to have their bladder removed.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07256613Recruiting
Gum treatment and kidney health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether non-surgical gum treatment can help improve kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and gum disease. If you have both conditions and your kidneys are still working well, this treatment may help prevent further kidney damage.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical planning?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting surgical planning 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 surgical planning 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 surgical planning 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.
