Methimazole for progressive glioblastoma after planned surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether methimazole, a medicine that affects the thyroid system, can help control progressive glioblastoma (a fast-growing brain tumor) after surgery. It looks at safety and how well the treatment works when given after your surgical plan.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05701514Recruiting
Test in babies with a prenatal lung cyst found on scans
This trial is for newborns who are found before birth to have a congenital lung cyst (CPAM) and who stay symptom-free. It tests an approach for babies with certain CPAM features to see if it’s safer and/or more effective than standard care.

MRI test using a special food-like tracer for pancreatic cyst surgery
This Phase 1 study tests a specialized MRI scan using a tracer (hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate) in people who have pancreatic cysts and are scheduled for surgery or a cyst wall biopsy. The scan may help doctors better understand cyst-related biology while you receive standard surgical care.

Local treatment vs. chemo for colorectal cancer with many liver spots
This trial tests whether treating all liver tumors with surgery, ablation, or radiation is better than continuing standard chemotherapy for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It's for those whose liver tumors have been controlled by initial chemotherapy and are considered removable.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06255197Recruiting
Study of lung cancer surgery patients and their outcomes
This study looks at the characteristics, treatments, and results of people who have had surgery to remove lung cancer. It aims to help doctors understand what happens after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06366828Recruiting
Predicting complications after esophageal cancer treatment
This study looks at past medical records of people with esophageal cancer who received chemotherapy and radiation before surgery. Researchers want to find better ways to predict who might have complications after surgery, so they can improve care for future patients.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–100 - NCT06384404Recruiting
Surgery First for Osteosarcoma of the Arm or Leg
This trial tests removing the tumor with surgery first, then following up with chemotherapy. It's for people with a new, high-grade osteosarcoma in an arm or leg that hasn't spread.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 5–40 - NCT06492954RecruitingPhase 1
Testing atezolizumab with radiation and surgery for lung-only osteosarcoma
This trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) with focused radiation and surgery can help people whose osteosarcoma has come back only in the lungs. It aims to see if this approach is safe and may improve outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 50 years - NCT06504381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DB107 and radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
This trial tests a new two-part treatment (DB107-RRV and DB107-FC) combined with radiation, with or without the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, for people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06668454Recruiting
Chemoimmunotherapy before surgery for limited spread esophageal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy with immunotherapy, followed by surgery, for people whose esophageal or stomach cancer has spread to a few areas (oligometastatic). The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the cancer and improve outcomes.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT06782932RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine and Immunotherapy for Removable Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests two different vaccines (GVAX and a mKRAS vaccine) given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer. Both vaccines are combined with immunotherapy drugs to help your immune system fight the cancer. The goal is to see which vaccine works better and is safe for patients whose tumors can be removed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06792149Recruiting
Guiding gastric cancer treatment with 3D bioprinting
This trial uses a 3D-printed model of your tumor to predict which drugs will work best for your gastric cancer. It aims to make treatment more personalized and effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical resection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 109 recruiting surgical resection 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 resection 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 resection 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.
