Recruiting studies
- NCT07640542RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain imaging study for Parkinson's and MSA patients
This early-stage research trial tests a new brain-imaging tracer called [11C]MODAG-005 to help doctors better understand Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). You would undergo PET/CT and MRI scans twice, a few weeks apart, to see how reliable the imaging is.

Study of ONL1204 for geographic atrophy in dry AMD
This study tests an investigational medicine called ONL1204 given as an injection into the eye for people with a form of advanced dry age-related macular degeneration called geographic atrophy. The goal is to see if it can slow vision loss.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 55 years+ - NCT02740634Recruiting
Brain imaging study for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand Alzheimer's disease and related conditions that affect memory, language, or vision. It looks at how changes in the brain happen over time in people with these diagnoses.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT03020381Recruiting
Study of walking patterns to predict dementia and falls
This study looks at how your walking (gait) might help predict future dementia and risk of falls. You may be asked to walk tests and have health information collected to see who is at higher risk.
London, OntarioAges 60–85 - NCT03042988Recruiting
Heat stress test in people with low nerve control and high blood pressure
This study checks how your body’s blood pressure and stress responses change after being exposed to heat overnight. It’s meant for people with autonomic failure (like certain Parkinson-related or nerve-function conditions) who also have high blood pressure while lying down, which may help researchers understand safer ways to manage it.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–80 - NCT03047369Recruiting
Myelin brain disorder research biobank for samples and data
This study collects brain-related medical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand leukodystrophies and other white-matter brain disorders. It may help future diagnosis and treatments by building a valuable “biobank” of patient data and samples.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03174938Recruiting
BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
ÄngelholmAges 20–100 - NCT03178149RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new eye treatment for dry macular degeneration
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and side effects of ASP7317 in older adults whose central vision is worsening from dry age-related macular degeneration (geographic atrophy). If you qualify, you would receive treatment in the study eye and be closely monitored for about a year.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT03201094Recruiting
NMES and whey protein for recovery after aneurysmal brain bleed
This pilot study tests whether a therapy that gently stimulates nerves (NMES) and a whey-protein supplement (HPRO) can improve recovery after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of bleeding around the brain. Participants are usually treated soon after the bleed and stay in the ICU long enough for the study measures.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03489278Recruiting
Support procedures study for ALS using electronic health records
This study is about improving the research process for people with ALS by using electronic health records from participating clinics. If you have ALS and receive care at an Epic-using center, you may be asked to help with consent and study procedures.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03872102Recruiting
Brain imaging study to track Parkinson-related disease changes
This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT03901924Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect the breathing muscle
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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 - NCT04067167Recruiting
Exercise bands versus muscle stimulation for people with cancer
This trial compares two types of exercise—flexible resistance band training versus a type of muscle stimulation—to see which is safe and helpful during cancer treatment. It may help improve physical function while you’re receiving anti-cancer care.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT04150198Recruiting
PET-MR brain scan study of resilience in Alzheimer’s
This study uses a combined PET and MRI brain scan to understand why some people with Alzheimer’s (and related “focal” types) may cope better than expected. It may help researchers find brain patterns linked to resilience and to different Alzheimer’s subtypes.
OrsayAges 40–80 - NCT04246437RecruitingPhase 1
Brain imaging study for autonomic failure with possible Parkinson disease
This Phase 1 study uses a special injected imaging tracer and an MRI scan to look at brain function in people with autonomic failure. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in conditions that can be related to Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04292574Recruiting
UK Spinal Muscular Atrophy patient registry
This trial is a registry that collects health information from people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It helps researchers understand the condition better and may support future studies and treatments.

Tecfidera trial to slow worsening geographic atrophy
This Phase 2 study tests dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) to slow the growth of geographic atrophy, a form of age-related macular degeneration that affects central vision. You may be asked to take the study medicine and attend regular eye scans over about 2 years to see if it helps.
Créteil, Val De MarneAges 55–85 - NCT04706234Recruiting
Check swallowing and voice function in neurodegenerative diseases
This study looks at how well the throat and voice-related functions work in people with certain long-term brain or nerve conditions. It uses a specific throat exam during FEES to better understand swallowing and laryngopharyngeal (throat-area) function.

It may help future diagnosis and research, and participation may include noninvasive checks and other procedures depending on your situation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04739319Recruiting
Study of age-related macular degeneration changes
This study looks closely at how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) develops and changes over time by taking detailed eye measurements. It may help researchers better understand disease progression, especially for people who already have AMD.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for atrophy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 272 recruiting atrophy 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 atrophy 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 atrophy 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.
