Study of thyroid cancer return risk after heat ablation
This study looks at what makes papillary thyroid cancer come back after a heat-based treatment called thermal ablation. It may help doctors better predict recurrence risk and guide follow-up after treatment.

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06316895Recruiting
Thermal ablation for small, low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is studying a treatment called thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for people with small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It aims to see how well it works and to predict outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07557810Recruiting
Thermal Ablation Plus Drugs for Overactive Thyroid
This trial tests combining heat treatment of the thyroid gland with antithyroid medications to treat primary hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid). It may help patients who haven't responded well to standard drugs, had side effects, or want faster symptom relief.
BeijingAges Up to 80 years - NCT04666103Recruiting
Study of neck anatomy in thyroid surgery
This study looks at how the structures in the neck affect thyroid surgery outcomes. You may be asked about your diagnosis and pre-surgery neck imaging to better understand surgical safety for people with certain thyroid conditions.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07459309Recruiting
Combination treatment for liver cancer for people who can't have surgery
This trial tests a new combination treatment that uses heat (ablation) and other therapies to destroy liver tumors. It's for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to, and whose tumor is a specific size.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06609876Recruiting
Donafenib after ablation for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether taking the drug donafenib after a procedure called ablation (which destroys liver tumors) can help keep your liver cancer from returning. It is for people whose liver cancer has come back within the past year and who have small, treatable tumors.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18–75 - NCT07156877Recruiting
Balloon Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to isolate the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart. It may be a treatment option for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for an ablation procedure.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07484087Recruiting
Ablation vs. Surgery for Early Breast Cancer
This trial compares a less invasive treatment called ablation (which uses extreme cold to destroy the tumor) with standard surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It is for women aged 50 or older with a small, low-risk tumor that has not spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT06725212Recruiting
Water vapor therapy for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a new treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate. It may help men with bothersome urinary symptoms who have not had other prostate procedures.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 45–80 - NCT06307080Recruiting
Combined ablation and immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer with liver spread
This study tests a new treatment combining tumor destruction with heat/cold (ablation) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1) for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread to the liver. The goal is to help the immune system fight the cancer better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06212453RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound-guided heat therapy for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that uses ultrasound and heat to shrink the part of the prostate blocking urine flow. It aims to improve urinary symptoms and avoid the need for more invasive surgery.

Laser and targeted radiation for spine metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses a laser and focused radiation to shrink tumors in the spine and help stabilize the area near the spinal cord. It’s meant for adults with certain types of solid cancers that have limited spread in the spine and who are not good candidates for surgery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07461818Recruiting

Minimally invasive thyroid treatments for small thyroid cancer
This trial is testing less invasive treatments for a very small, slow-growing type of thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid microcarcinoma). If you have this specific cancer and are a candidate for a non-surgical procedure, the study will check how well these treatments work.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thermal ablation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 39 recruiting thermal ablation 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 thermal ablation 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 thermal ablation 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.
