Recruiting studies
- NCT05757817Recruiting
New flap surgery for mouth or throat cancer reconstruction
This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.

DüsseldorfAges 22 years+ - 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+ - NCT05797558Recruiting
Medication versus surgery for one-sided adrenal hormone problem
This trial compares two ways to treat unilateral primary aldosteronism: taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) pills or having minimally invasive surgery. It may help decide which option works best and is safest for people who can choose surgery.
GothenburgAges 18–70 - NCT05805774Recruiting
Compare fixing versus replacing a fractured thigh bone
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT05806515RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin before surgery for high-risk BRCA prostate cancer
This trial tests giving the chemotherapy drug carboplatin before surgery to treat people with high-risk prostate cancer and an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer before an operation and improve outcomes.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05818241Recruiting
Recovery and satisfaction after a wrist bone fracture
This trial studies how satisfied patients are with recovery after a specific type of wrist fracture (distal radius) and how well recovery goes. It may help improve care and rehabilitation for people healing from this injury.
Mölndal, Region Västra GötalandAges 18 years+ - NCT05822388Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation and memory changes in Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease) affects thinking and memory over time. It compares Parkinson’s participants to people without Parkinson’s to better understand what changes happen with treatment.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05841667Recruiting
How your CES1 genes affect remimazolam during anesthesia
This study looks at whether a person’s genetic type (CES1) changes how the anesthesia medicine remimazolam works and how much it affects the depth of sleep. It may help doctors choose safer, better-matched anesthesia for future patients having elective surgery.
SeoulAges 19–70 - NCT05852158RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotics to prevent infection after jaw surgery
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics can lower the chance of infection after orthognathic (jaw) surgery. It may help by preventing post-surgery infections, but participation depends on your health history and medication allergies.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 16 years+ - NCT05858411Recruiting
Biologic gum treatments added to non-surgical cleaning
This trial studies whether adding a biologic medicine to standard non-surgical gum (periodontal) treatment can improve deep gum pockets in certain bone defects. It may help people whose gum disease has specific “intrabony” defects, but you must meet several health and medication rules.
TiranaAges 18 years+ - NCT05865119Recruiting
Best treatment approach for a certain heart wall defect
This study looks at the best treatment plan for people with a specific type of hole in the heart wall that affects the right side of the heart. It may help doctors choose an approach based on how well it works for patients who need treatment.
BordeauxAges 12 years+ - NCT05867927Recruiting
Robotic gynecologic surgery study for eligible adults
This trial studies robotic surgery technology for women who need a gynecologic procedure and are good candidates for the Intuitive Surgical system. It may help doctors improve how these surgeries are done, and it requires you to follow the study steps and consent to participate.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05879250RecruitingPhase 2
WP1066 plus radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial tests whether the study drug WP1066 combined with radiation can better control newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. It also aims to check safety and how well tumors respond by using brain scans.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05884125Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help healing of arm nerve injuries
This trial studies whether electrical stimulation therapy can improve healing after certain arm (upper limb) nerve injuries. It is for people who are planning surgery to repair a damaged nerve, such as through nerve transfer, direct repair, or nerve grafting.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT05886517Recruiting
Transcatheter aortic valve in patients too high-risk for surgery
This trial looks at placing a new aortic valve through the groin (transfemoral) without needing on-site heart surgery for people who are considered very high risk for standard open-heart valve surgery. It aims to measure early outcomes to see how safe and effective this approach is for frail or complex patients.
Acquaviva delle Fonti, BariAges 75–120 - NCT05890677Recruiting
Surgery versus conservative care for chronic breast-related arm swelling
This trial compares microsurgery to standard conservative therapy for long-lasting arm swelling caused by prior breast cancer. It may help people who still have swelling despite months of decongestive treatment by improving quality of life.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05898529Recruiting
Testing COVID status in children having surgery
This study looks at how COVID-19 infection is handled in children (ages 2–17) who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to compare testing/safety approaches and see how they may protect pediatric surgical patients.
Surrey, British ColumbiaAges 2–17 - NCT05901545RecruitingPhase 1
Test an iodine-labeled drug to map neck lymph nodes
This Phase 1 study tests a labelling of panitumumab with iodine (111In) to see how well it can identify lymph nodes in head and neck cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve lymph node staging (which can help guide treatment), with the main focus on safety and early performance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05907161Recruiting
Low laser and hyaluronic acid for gum disease
This trial studies whether adding low-level laser treatment and hyaluronic acid can improve gum health when combined with regular non-surgical gum therapy. It may help reduce problems from more advanced gum disease without surgery.
LjubljanaAges 25–70 - NCT05920382Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for long-term knee pain after knee surgery
This trial studies whether a radiofrequency procedure can reduce chronic knee pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help people who still have bothersome pain between 6 months and 5 years after their operation, as long as their pain pattern and medications are stable.
