Recruiting studies
- NCT06731998Recruiting
Improving pain control after cancer surgery
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT06276530Recruiting
Lung surgery: large incision vs. robotic approach and breathing
This study compares how different types of lung surgery (a large incision vs. robotic-assisted small cuts) affect your posture and breathing. It aims to help doctors choose the best approach for recovery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06386276Recruiting
Surgery for severe endometriosis of the bowel
This study tests surgery to remove deep endometriosis nodules that have grown into the wall of the rectum or sigmoid colon. It focuses on women with this specific type of endometriosis to see if surgery can improve symptoms.
Avellino, CampaniaAges 18–55 - NCT04809324Recruiting
Testing how best to check surgical margins in oral cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether all oral cancer tissue was removed during surgery by looking at the tissue edges. It may help surgeons choose the safest approach to reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–100 - NCT04235764Recruiting
Testing a new bladder-tumor surgery tool for removed tissue
This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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 - NCT06821997RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (NALIRIFOX) given before surgery to shrink the tumor in people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to make surgery more effective and improve outcomes.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07662733Recruiting
Acupuncture for better sleep and less pain after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if acupuncture given before and after surgery can help patients sleep better and have less chronic pain after a lung cancer operation. You may join if you are having a specific type of lung cancer surgery, are in good general health, and do not have severe sleep problems already.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07089641RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ERAS-801 for recurrent or newly diagnosed glioblastoma with EGFR changes
This trial tests an experimental drug called ERAS-801 for people with a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma or gliosarcoma that has a specific genetic change (EGFR amplification or mutation). The study has two groups: one for people whose tumor has come back after treatment, and another for older adults (70+) who are newly diagnosed. The drug targets the EGFR pathway, which may help slow tumor growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06241170Recruiting
Surgical margin study for Crohn's disease recurrence
This trial tests a specific way of cutting the bowel during surgery for Crohn's disease to see if it lowers the chance of the disease coming back. It is for people with Crohn's in the ileocecal area who are having their first surgery to remove that section.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 14–65 - 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+ - NCT07301268RecruitingPhase 2
GI-102 with or without pembrolizumab before brain surgery
This trial is testing a new drug called GI-102, given alone or with pembrolizumab, before surgery for a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. The goal is to see if these drugs can help shrink the tumor before it's removed.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07077876Recruiting
Endometrial cancer and hyperplasia with conservative treatment
This study looks at women with endometrial adenocarcinoma or atypical hyperplasia who had conservative treatment instead of radical surgery. It aims to check how well the treatment works for both cancer and future pregnancy outcomes.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06423326RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for pancreatic cancer that is removable or borderline removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery more successful.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07094685RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab before surgery for head and neck cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug called ivonescimab given before surgery for people with advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07615049RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter versus standard radiation for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation therapy with the standard longer course for people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg. The goal is to see if the shorter course works just as well and may be more convenient.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+

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.
