Recruiting studies
- NCT06492954RecruitingPhase 1
Testing atezolizumab with radiation and surgery for lung-only osteosarcoma

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06239272RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized treatment for NRSTS in children and young adults
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for children and young adults with a type of soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS). It uses a combination of surgery, targeted radiation, and two drugs (pazopanib and selinexor) to fight cancer while reducing side effects. The study is looking for people who have not been treated before for this sarcoma.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06186401RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental immune cell therapy for a specific type of brain cancer
This trial tests a personalized immune cell treatment for a glioblastoma brain tumor that has a specific marker called EGFRvIII. The cells are made in a lab and given by infusion, and the study aims to see if they can safely target and attack the tumor.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06023641RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal irinotecan for children with rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial tests a new way to treat rhabdomyosarcoma using a targeted drug (liposomal irinotecan) based on the tumor's genetic makeup and risk group. It aims to improve outcomes for children and young adults with intermediate or high-risk disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 22 years - NCT05546827RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus immunotherapy for mucosal melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests giving radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for mucosal melanoma in the nose/sinuses or rectum. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes while aiming to control the disease locally and in nearby areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05545007Recruiting
Pre-op vs post-op focused radiation for large brain metastases
This study compares giving focused, high-dose radiation before surgery versus after surgery for people with large brain metastases. The goal is to see which timing works best to control the tumors and help neurological outcomes.
Brescia, BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT05535166RecruitingPhase 2
Risk- and lab-guided treatment for young children with medulloblastoma
This Phase 2 trial tests how doctors choose treatment for infants and young children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma, based on MRI/CSF staging and lab testing of the tumor. It may help by matching therapy intensity to the child’s specific risk level and tumor type.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 4.9 years - NCT05517811Recruiting
Blood clotting tests before and after surgery for cancer
This study looks at how cancer and surgery affect blood clotting. It may help doctors understand and prevent blood clots in patients having surgery for certain cancers.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT04966663RecruitingPhase 2
Using blood DNA tests to guide lung cancer treatment
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to look for leftover lung cancer after surgery. Based on that result, the trial will help decide which treatment approach is best for you and may catch cancer returning earlier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04977375RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Anti–PD-1 treatment plus focused radiation for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a cancer-immunotherapy medicine (an anti–PD-1 antibody, similar to pembrolizumab) combined with precisely targeted radiation to treat glioblastoma that has come back or progressed. It may help your immune system recognize and attack the tumor while the radiation targets the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04722523RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab plus chemo and other immune treatment for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well cemiplimab (an immune treatment) can work when combined with chemotherapy and an additional immunotherapy for certain head and neck cancers. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes, while also checking safety and dosing.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04623502Recruiting
Study of kidney and bladder cancer metabolism during surgery
This study looks at how kidney and bladder (urothelial) tumors use fuel by taking samples during surgery or biopsy. It may help researchers learn what drives these cancers and guide better future treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07757165RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery after drug treatment for advanced stomach cancer
This trial is for people with advanced stomach cancer that has shrunk after initial chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It compares whether adding surgery to continued medical treatment is better than staying on medical treatment alone, with the goal of improving outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05795244RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for resected mismatch-repair deficient endometrial cancer
This trial studies nivolumab (an immune therapy that helps your body recognize cancer) after surgery for endometrial cancer that has mismatch-repair deficiency (MMR-d) or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). It aims to lower the chance the cancer comes back by treating “leftover risk” after the tumor is removed.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06638645Recruiting
Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery
This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07414498Recruiting
Bacteria in gum surgery for implant and tooth infections
This study looks at the bacteria living in deep gum pockets around implants or teeth during different types of gum surgery. It may help determine which surgical approach is best for your kind of gum infection.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT07128199RecruitingPhase 3
Zipalertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer with uncommon EGFR mutations
This study tests whether taking zipalertinib after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in people whose tumors have uncommon EGFR gene changes. It is a pill taken daily after recovery from surgery.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07550127Recruiting
Comparing surgery and aftercare for infected dental implants
This study tests two ways of managing an infection around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) that is severe enough to need surgery. It compares surgery alone to surgery plus a special maintenance cleaning to see which gives better long-term results. If you are eligible, you would receive treatment for the infection and be followed for 3 months.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07733167RecruitingPhase 3
Epinephrine injection during prostate surgery for large prostates
This study tests whether injecting a drug called epinephrine into the prostate during surgery can improve outcomes for men with large prostates. It aims to reduce bleeding and make the surgery safer and more effective.

MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07686211RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study on better surgical guidance for head and neck cancer re-resection
This study tests a new augmented reality tool to help surgeons remove leftover tumor tissue after the first surgery. It might make re-resection more precise and improve cancer clearance.

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.
