Troriluzole before surgery for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests whether an investigational drug called troriluzole can help people with recurrent glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor).

Surgery for tricuspid valve leaks after prior heart surgery
This study looks at different surgeries for a leaky tricuspid valve that happened after earlier heart surgery. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for patients like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 16 years+ - NCT06555107Recruiting
Pain before emergency surgery and long-term pain after
This study looks at whether pain you feel before emergency surgery affects long-term pain after the surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent chronic pain in patients who have emergency orthopedic (bone/joint) or abdominal (belly) surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06555848Recruiting
Testing a new antibiotic bone filler for chronic bone infection surgery
This study is testing whether the CERAMENT G bone filler can help treat chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis) when doctors remove the infected bone in a single surgery. It is for people who have had symptoms for at least six months and need the bone gap filled after surgery.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT06557460RecruitingPhase 2
Cell implant for advanced dry age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a patch of retinal cells implanted under the retina to see if it can slow or stop vision loss from advanced dry AMD (geographic atrophy). It may help people whose central vision is already affected.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 55–90 - NCT06569862Recruiting
Comparing early vs. late dressing removal after abdominal surgery
This trial compares taking off the surgical dressing one day after surgery versus waiting about 6 days after elective (planned) abdominal surgery to see which approach reduces the risk of surgical site infections.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06572410Recruiting
SmartClip and navigation system during lumpectomy
This study tests a new navigation system used during breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It helps the surgeon locate and remove tumors more precisely using a tiny marker placed beforehand.
Winter Garden, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06574373Recruiting
Finding new markers for pancreatic IPMN progression
This study looks for new markers in the blood or tissues of people with a pancreatic condition called IPMN. The goal is to find better ways to predict if IPMN might turn into cancer and to help choose the best treatment.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06575322Recruiting
Neoadjuvant therapy for head and neck cancer: effects on pain and mood
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy before surgery can help reduce pain, anxiety, and depression in people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life during treatment.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06576180Recruiting
Chemo-immunotherapy and cognition in head and neck cancer
This trial is studying whether a combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) and an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) affects memory and thinking in people with head and neck cancer that can be removed with surgery. Researchers want to see if these treatments cause any cognitive changes.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06595329RecruitingPhase 1
Pain relief after kidney cancer surgery: epidural vs spinal opioids
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open kidney cancer surgery: an epidural (a thin tube placed near your spine) versus a single spinal injection of opioids. Both aim to control pain, but the study wants to see which method works better, with fewer side effects.
SplitAges 18 years+ - NCT06600035Recruiting
Stomach ultrasound before surgery for diabetics
This study uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06600165Recruiting
AI-guided microscope for basal cell skin cancer surgery
This trial tests a special microscope that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help surgeons see exactly where skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma) ends during surgery. This could help remove all cancer cells in one go, making repeat surgeries less likely.
Munich, BavariaAges Any age - NCT06915363Recruiting
BioPoly implant for knee cartilage repair
This trial tests a BioPoly implant to repair a small damaged cartilage spot in your knee. If you have a specific type of cartilage injury that didn't get better with other treatments, this implant may help relieve pain and improve function.
Fort Wayne, IndianaAges 30–65 - NCT06603454Recruiting
Chest CT before aortic valve replacement surgery
This study looks at whether a CT scan of the chest before aortic valve replacement surgery (with or without bypass) can help doctors plan the procedure better. It is for people with severe aortic valve stenosis who are already scheduled for surgery.
Nieuwegein, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06610864Recruiting
Corrective surgery for womb shape issues and pregnancy outcomes
This study looks at how women with certain womb shape problems (like a septum or unusual shape) do during and after pregnancy once they have a minor surgery to fix the shape. Researchers want to see if the surgery helps improve pregnancy and birth results.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06612229Recruiting
Bile leaks after surgery for liver echinococcosis

TashkentAges 18 years+ - NCT06614088Recruiting
Calprotectin blood test for belly infections after surgery

Using video to make uterine cancer surgery safer
This study is collecting videos from a type of minimally invasive surgery called sentinel lymph node dissection for endometrial or cervical cancer. The goal is to use deep learning (a type of artificial intelligence) to help surgeons identify important structures and any spread of cancer during the procedure, making the surgery safer and more effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,195 recruiting surgical 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 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 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.
