Recruiting studies
- NCT06633809Recruiting
Treating minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06418698Recruiting
Brain artery calcium and clot removal outcomes
This study looks at whether calcium buildup in brain arteries affects how well clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy) works for stroke patients. You may be able to join if you have a large artery blockage, a CT scan was done, and you are having the clot removal procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05871606RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing nitric oxide during clot-removal for stroke
This Phase 1 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas breathed through a ventilator) can improve outcomes in people having a specific kind of emergency stroke procedure to remove a clot from the brain. It focuses on patients who need general anesthesia for the clot-removal procedure and have imaging results that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT05527717RecruitingPhase 4
PCI vs strategy for heart attack shock needing ECMO
This study looks at the best way to reopen blocked heart arteries (using a stent procedure) in people who had a heart attack complicated by severe shock and need a life-support machine called VA-ECMO. It may help improve outcomes by testing which revascularization approach works best for multi-vessel blockages.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06904599RecruitingPhase 2
Testing hCG for acute GVHD after a stem cell transplant
This study tests if a hormone called hCG can help treat moderate-to-severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It is for adults who have recently developed GVHD and need steroids, but have not been on high-dose steroids for long.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT07072039Recruiting
Emergency team check for acute COPD flare-ups
This study looks at how well paramedics can evaluate a sudden worsening of COPD (a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe). It may help improve emergency care for COPD patients in the UMass Memorial system.

Sensing brain signals with new DBS leads during surgery
This study tests a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT03737955RecruitingPhase 2
Gemtuzumab for measurable residual leukemia after initial treatment
This trial studies whether fractionated gemtuzumab can eliminate tiny, hard-to-see leukemia cells left after standard chemotherapy. It targets adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have measurable residual disease (MRD) rather than active leukemia in the blood.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07762157Recruiting
Home-based exercise program for lung recovery after COPD flare-ups
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06625944Recruiting
How viral infections affect lung disease
This study looks at how viral infections impact people with chronic lung conditions like COPD or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand symptoms and triggers better, which could help improve future treatments.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04684602RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of stem cells for several short- and long-term illnesses
This early-stage study tests whether injections of mesenchymal stem cells can be safe and helpful for certain chronic (long-term) and acute (short-term) conditions. You might be considered if you can consent, are able to return for follow-up visits, and do not have key reasons that would make stem-cell treatment unsafe.
Culver City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 18 years+ - NCT03545477Recruiting
Curved walking training for stroke, Parkinson's and hip fracture recovery
This study tests whether practicing walking in curved paths can help people recovering from a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a recent hip fracture improve their balance and mobility. If you have one of these conditions and are in a rehabilitation program, this training might make everyday walking easier.
Lissone, Monza E BrianzaAges 18–90 - NCT07585890Recruiting
Liver Transplant Outcomes With Machine Preservation in Europe
This study collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06153147Recruiting
Kidney & blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at kidney health and blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors. If you finished high-risk cancer therapy about 3 years ago, researchers want to see how your kidneys and blood pressure are doing now.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 19 years - NCT06595134Recruiting
AI heart scan study for people with obesity
This study is testing an AI tool to improve heart scans in people with obesity who may have hidden heart disease. If you are 45 or older, have a BMI of 30 or higher, and your doctor thinks you might have heart problems, this study could help find them earlier.
ViennaAges 45 years+ - NCT05812963Recruiting
IVUS vs FFR to guide stents after heart attacks
This trial compares two ways of measuring blood flow inside the heart arteries (IVUS vs FFR) to help decide which non–culprit artery narrowings need a stent after a recent heart attack. It may help doctors choose the best targets for PCI and avoid unnecessary procedures.
GwangjuAges 19 years+ - NCT07597031Recruiting
Digital Lifestyle Platform for People Leaving Hospital Rehab

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 398 recruiting acute disease 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 acute disease 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 acute disease 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.
