- NCT06557928Enrolling by invitation
Study of body and mind changes in the Tibetan plateau
This study looks at how healthy people's bodies and minds adapt when they travel to the high-altitude Tibetan plateau. It aims to help understand the changes and find ways to support people working there.
BeijingAges 18–50 - NCT06040268RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Advair study for HAPE risk and healthy volunteers
This trial tests if Advair HFA affects how likely someone is to develop High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), a serious lung condition at high altitudes. It compares people who are prone to HAPE, those who are resistant, and healthy controls.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–50 - NCT06133530Enrolling by invitation
Human milk sugars for gut health in Antarctica
This study tests whether natural sugars found in human milk (called HMOs) can improve gut health and the immune system. Researchers are looking for healthy adults who are willing to travel to Antarctica for the study.

Altitude effect on spinal headache after C-section
This study looks at whether living at higher or lower altitudes changes the risk of a specific headache after a C-section done with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to understand who is more likely to get this headache so care can be better tailored.
Jumla, KarnaliAges 18 years+ - NCT05323864Recruiting
Altitude exposure study for anxiety and low mood
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–65 - NCT02391519Recruiting
Study how high altitude affects body energy signaling
This study compares how the body responds to high altitude around the time of a planned C-section, including a signal involved in energy use. It may help researchers understand why pregnancy and blood-vessel function can differ at higher elevations.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–45

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for altitude?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 30 recruiting altitude 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 altitude 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 altitude 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.
