Recruiting studies
- NCT05600569Recruiting
Thoracic surgery registry study in Spain
This is a registry (a secure log) that collects information about patients who undergo thoracic (chest) surgery. It helps researchers understand what surgeries are being done and may improve planning and care over time.
ZaragozaAges Any age - NCT07732764Recruiting
TENS for Pain After Chest Surgery
This trial tests if a mild electrical therapy (TENS) can reduce pain after chest surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine and feel better during recovery.
Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung CityAges 15–85 - 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+ - NCT07348510Recruiting
Diuretic Effect of Aminophylline and Furosemide in Heart Surgery Patients
This study is testing if a combination of two medicines (aminophylline and furosemide) can help the kidneys produce more urine after heart surgery. It may help reduce fluid buildup and protect kidney function.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT05877300RecruitingPhase 1
Test a new esophagus implant to rebuild a short esophagus segment
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and feasibility of a new esophagus implant for people who need only a short (about 6 cm or less) section of their esophagus rebuilt after serious injury or scarring. If it does not work, you must be willing to have a planned “rescue” surgery later.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06732193Recruiting
Fissios App for recovery after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app (Fissios) after lung cancer surgery helps you recover with fewer complications. If you are scheduled for lung surgery for non-small cell lung cancer and have a smartphone, you may be eligible.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06038227Recruiting
Robotic vs. VATS surgery for early lung cancer
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—robotic-assisted (da Vinci) and VATS—for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach might work better and help patients recover faster.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07078383Recruiting
Study of the Rapidlink device for aorta repair
This trial tests a device called Rapidlink that helps repair blood vessels branching off the aorta during open heart surgery. It may be an option if you need open surgery to fix your thoracic aorta.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915727RecruitingPhase 3
Testing an imaging drug to see tumors in children having surgery
This study tests a special imaging drug called pafolacianine (Cytalux) that helps doctors see tumors more clearly during surgery. It is for children and teens who have a solid tumor in the body and are already scheduled for tumor removal or biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06918132RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab and Fianlimab before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) given before surgery can help treat stage IB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. You must have a PD-L1 level of at least 1% and your surgeon must think the tumor can be fully removed.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06879912Recruiting
Study of force feedback tools in robot-assisted surgery
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
Miami, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT03746964Recruiting
MRI study of the heart’s aorta before planned surgery
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how the ascending aorta (a large blood vessel) moves and behaves before planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand the mechanics of an aortic aneurysm and improve future surgical planning.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thoracic surgical procedures?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting thoracic surgical procedures 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 thoracic surgical procedures 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 thoracic surgical procedures 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.
