Fürth, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT03522064RecruitingPhase 2
HRD-positive advanced prostate cancer trial with androgen therapy and chemo
This Phase 2 study tests whether blocking male hormones (androgen therapy) plus the chemotherapy drug carboplatin can shrink advanced prostate cancer in men with specific DNA repair problems. It is for cases where prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is rising even though testosterone is already kept very low.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT03260400Recruiting
Temporary implanted electrodes to improve prosthetic arm control
This study tests placing temporary electrodes after a nerve surgery (regenerative peripheral nerve surgery) to help your prosthetic arm pick up better control signals. It may help people with an upper-limb amputation use a prosthesis more accurately while the electrodes are in place.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22–75 - NCT07281729Enrolling by invitation
Suicide risk factors study for mood disorders
This study looks at why some people with mood disorders (like depression or bipolar disorder) think about or attempt suicide. By finding the risk factors, doctors hope to better prevent suicide. The study involves filling out questionnaires.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–60 - NCT05878730Recruiting
Melatonin study for people stable on long-term lithium
This trial tests whether taking melatonin (a sleep-related hormone) changes how your body responds to lithium in people with bipolar disorder who are currently stable. It may help researchers understand lithium’s effects and how sleep/circadian timing could matter.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–70 - NCT07672093Recruiting
Dry needling for forearm muscle knots
This study tests whether inserting a thin needle (dry needling) into a tight muscle knot in your forearm can help release it without causing pain. It's for healthy adults who have a non-painful knot in their dominant arm.
Reus, TarragonaAges 18–40 - NCT07494305RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for bipolar depression
This trial tests an investigational drug called LB-102 for people with bipolar I disorder who are currently experiencing a major depressive episode without psychosis. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for treating depression symptoms.
Bentonville, ArkansasAges 18–65 - NCT05707637Recruiting
A heart procedure registry comparing two ablation approaches
This study keeps a detailed record of people with certain abnormal heart rhythm beats who are treated with a catheter ablation. It compares outcomes after a standard “unipolar” approach using radio-frequency ablation and then a further step (“bipolar” radio-frequency ablation) when appropriate.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT05877014RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two fixation methods for adult arm shaft fractures
This trial tests whether one surgical technique (for stabilizing the upper-arm bone using a rod placed inside the bone) works better than another for adult humeral shaft fractures. It may help find the approach that leads to better healing and recovery.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06100705RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests combining an immunotherapy (Sipuleucel-T) with high-dose testosterone to see if it works better for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06289478Recruiting
Tranexamic acid for bleeding during hip replacement surgery
This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA), given as a shot into the hip joint or as a soak on the skin, can reduce bleeding during hip replacement surgery. It is for people over 60 who broke their hip from a simple fall and need a cementless hip replacement.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 60 years+ - NCT07534475Recruiting
Tourniquet Type for Monitoring Brain Activity During ECT
This study compares two types of arm tourniquets (blood-pressure cuffs) used during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to help doctors monitor seizure activity more accurately. ECT is a treatment for severe depression and other psychiatric conditions, and tourniquets help track how well the treatment is working.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07411222Recruiting
Emotional Eating, Sleep, and Metabolic Health Study
This study examines how emotional eating, sleep quality, and mental state relate to metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and extra belly fat) in people with stable schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It aims to help understand and improve overall health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for bipolar?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 242 recruiting bipolar 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 bipolar 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 bipolar 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.
