This trial tests a stronger combination of treatments given after surgery for people with glioblastoma (GBM) that was only partially removed or that starts growing again quickly. It aims to see if this approach can help control the tumor better. You may be eligible if you are newly diagnosed, over 18, have good organ function, and do not have other serious health issues.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07193654RecruitingPhase 2
Combined stupp therapy and spinal chemo for advanced glioblastoma

Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2 years+ - NCT07131163Recruiting
Study of lung cancer patients who got chemo-immunotherapy before planned surgery but didn't have surgery
This study looks at patients with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who started chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before planned surgery but did not actually have surgery. It aims to understand why surgery was canceled and how patients did over time.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT07096882RecruitingPhase 1
SDTM001 injection after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests an injection called SDTM001 as an extra treatment after surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to see if it can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT07062055RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer that has spread
This trial tests a combination of liver-directed treatments and immunotherapy with a targeted drug for people whose liver cancer has spread to a few other organs. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT07049848RecruitingPhase 2
Study of atezolizumab with chemo and radiation for high-risk sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab), chemotherapy (doxorubicin), and radiation before and after surgery for people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma in the arm, leg, or trunk. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07039526RecruitingPhase 2
Cytalux for finding cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye called Cytalux that helps surgeons see cancer during surgery. You get the dye before surgery, and it makes cancer cells glow under a special light. This could help doctors remove more cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06208371RecruitingPhase 3
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+ - NCT07010419RecruitingPhase 3
Firmonertinib vs placebo for early-stage lung cancer with rare EGFR mutations
This trial tests if Firmonertinib, a targeted pill, can prevent lung cancer from returning after surgery in people with non-small cell lung cancer that has certain uncommon EGFR gene changes. If you have had complete tumor removal and have one of these specific mutations, this study may help you stay cancer-free longer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07000864Recruiting
Studying live tumor samples from surgery
This trial collects a small piece of your tumor right after it is removed during surgery. Researchers will study this tissue to learn more about cancer and how it responds to treatments.

This trial is for children with a rare brain tumor (ETMR) who have not had radiation. Depending on how much tumor is left after surgery and if it has spread, the study compares giving radiation early versus high-dose chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT06868095Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia’s impact on early-onset colorectal cancer
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects people diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50. It uses CT or MRI scans taken at diagnosis to measure muscle mass and see how it relates to treatment and outcomes.

Testing a new drug with radiation for aggressive brain tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug called XRD-0394 given together with radiation therapy for people with high-grade glioma, a type of aggressive brain tumor. The goal is to see if adding this drug makes radiation more effective.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical resection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 112 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.
