Boston, MassachusettsAges 50 years+ - NCT05285891RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping ocrelizumab in early relapsing multiple sclerosis
This study looks at whether people with early relapsing multiple sclerosis can safely stop ocrelizumab. Researchers will compare health and MRI findings over time to see if stopping helps or increases relapse risk.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT07569029RecruitingPhase 1
HIV vaccine with treatment break to boost immune response
This Phase 1 trial tests two new HIV vaccines (DV700P-RNA and DV701B1.1-RNA) combined with a monitored break from HIV medications in people with well-controlled HIV. The goal is to see if this approach safely strengthens the immune system's ability to fight HIV.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT07390955RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of three anti-HIV antibodies in healthy adults
This study is testing three experimental antibodies (ePGT121v1-LS, PGDM1400LS, and VRC07-523LS) that may help prevent HIV. It’s looking at their safety and how long they stay in the body. Healthy volunteers without HIV can join.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT06033196RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab to prevent lung transplant rejection
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab (brand name Actemra) to see if it helps prevent rejection after lung transplantation. Tocilizumab targets part of the immune system that may otherwise attack the new lungs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12–75 - NCT06055608RecruitingPhase 2

What taking part in a allergy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
