- NCT05626114RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a lab-made eye treatment after subretinal surgery
This Phase 2 study tests OpRegen, a treatment delivered during special eye surgery, for geographic atrophy related to age-related macular degeneration (GA from AMD). It also includes an imaging “substudy” that uses detailed pictures of your retina to better track safety and activity.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05121012Recruiting
PET brain scan study for synaptic loss in MSA or PSP
This study uses brain scans (PET, and possibly spinal fluid) to measure changes linked to “synaptic loss” in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA) or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It may help researchers understand disease changes and how they relate to symptoms, which could guide future treatments.
ExeterAges 45–80 - NCT04944940Recruiting
Study tests blood, scans, and genes in SBMA and healthy men
This study looks for early “biomarkers” (measurable signs) in the body using blood tests, imaging scans, and sometimes other procedures in men with genetically confirmed spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). The results may help future drug studies by showing better ways to track disease changes over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04339764RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
iPS cell eye transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-phase study tests whether transplanting lab-made retinal cells from your own body can slow vision loss from geographic atrophy caused by dry age-related macular degeneration. It involves eye surgery and frequent follow-up to check safety and early signs of benefit.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–95 - NCT04165486RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug safety in adults with multiple system atrophy
This Phase 1 study checks how safe a drug called ION464 is, how the body handles it, and how much of the drug reaches the bloodstream in adults with multiple system atrophy (MSA). It may help researchers find a dosing approach for future treatments for MSA.
InnsbruckAges 40–70 - NCT03811808Recruiting
Multidisciplinary clinic visits for multiple system atrophy care
This study involves people with possible or probable multiple system atrophy (MSA) joining a specialized clinic team and attending visits every 4 months. It’s meant to improve care planning and support by bringing different specialists together.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03011541Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for damaged retina or optic nerve
This study looks at stem-cell treatment to help vision in adults whose retina or optic nerve damage is not expected to improve on its own. You may be a candidate if your eye exam shows documented, stable or slowly changing damage and you can safely complete follow-up eye visits.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT00029965Recruiting
Natural history of inherited metabolic storage disorders
This study follows people with certain inherited metabolic conditions (like GM1 or GM2 gangliosidosis, sialidosis, or galactosialidosis) to learn more about how these diseases progress over time. Participating may help researchers understand the conditions better, which could improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - NCT05147701RecruitingPhase 1
Testing stem cell treatment for NAION safety
This Phase 1 study tests whether lab-made stem cells taken from donated umbilical cord are safe for people with NAION. It mainly looks for side effects and safety rather than proving the treatment works.
Naples, FloridaAges Any age - NCT03250091Recruiting
Stomach precancer check-up study after scope
This study follows people who have had an upper endoscopy (a camera test through the mouth to look at the stomach) to monitor precancerous stomach changes. It may help doctors learn the best way to watch these spots over time and catch problems early.
RigaAges 18 years+ - NCT04010604Recruiting
Study of spinal muscular atrophy in patients and carriers
This is a long-term observation study that follows people affected by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), people who carry the SMA gene but have no symptoms, and families of people with SMA. It helps researchers better understand SMA and related genetic status, which can support future treatment planning.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 1 week–70 years - NCT03096366Recruiting
Blood flow restriction rehab after ACL knee surgery
This trial studies whether a special exercise method that limits blood flow to the thigh (called blood flow restriction training) can improve quadriceps strength and function during recovery after arthroscopic ACL surgery. If you qualify, you would join a structured physical therapy program and follow the study’s rehab plan.
Houston, TexasAges 14–55 - NCT05663008Recruiting
Testing nerve-to-muscle signal changes to diagnose movement diseases
This study measures how nerves communicate with muscles, using recordings and gels. It aims to spot early, personalized signs of conditions like ALS and related diseases, and to improve diagnosis.
Dublin, LeinsterAges 18 years+ - NCT05768048Recruiting
Study tracks SMA patients with specific gene changes
This study follows people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who have a particular genetic change in the SMN1 gene. It compares long-term outcomes for those who do and do not receive disease-modifying treatments, to better understand what helps over time.
GenovaAges Any age - NCT05755451Recruiting
Study of the natural course of spinal muscular atrophy
This study observes how spinal muscular atrophy changes over time without giving an investigational treatment. It may help researchers learn what to expect in the disease and improve future care.
GenovaAges Any age - NCT02137824Recruiting
Sinus bone lift procedure for people with limited jaw bone
This pilot study tests a modified technique to add bone in the upper jaw area (the sinus floor) so dental implants may be possible. You may be considered if you have a small amount of remaining bone height and enough bone width, and you do not have certain infections or risk factors.
ViennaAges 18–100 - NCT04844060Recruiting
Study collecting spinal fluid from patients needing a lumbar puncture
This study collects cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) during a lumbar puncture. It aims to improve how doctors use this information for accurate diagnosis in patients who need the procedure.
StrasbourgAges Any age - NCT05890092Recruiting
Study of vulvar diseases in Nigeria
This is an observational study that looks at vulvar conditions in people assigned female at birth in Nigeria. It does not test a new treatment—researchers mainly want to learn about different vulvar diseases and who gets them.
LondonAges 10–90 - NCT06105489Recruiting
Comparing two sinus lift surgery techniques
This trial compares two surgical methods for lifting the sinus membrane to add bone for dental implants. It may help if you have very little bone left in your upper jaw back teeth area.
PadovaAges 18 years+ - NCT03020381Recruiting
