Recruiting studies
- NCT04142177Recruiting
Test which pain treatments work best for chronic low back pain
This study compares how well different pain treatments reduce low back pain and improve daily life. You may be asked to start or continue care through the VA and attend in-person sessions while completing pain and activity questionnaires.

Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT04098133Recruiting
Tracking germs that resist key antibiotics in Swiss hospitals
This study collects and studies lab-detected germs in hospital patients that produce special enzymes making some antibiotics less effective. It helps researchers understand how these resistant germs spread over time in Switzerland.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT03887559Recruiting
Group therapy for long-lasting trauma reactions in everyday clinics
This study tests a structured group program to help people manage long-lasting trauma-related symptoms such as feeling “on edge,” avoiding reminders, upsetting memories, strong emotions, or relationship problems. It may help you learn skills and stabilize symptoms while you continue care through regular outpatient clinics.
TrondheimAges 18–75 - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04007510Enrolling by invitation
Early psychosis study for patients, families, and care teams
This study looks at how to improve early psychosis care using data-driven planning and support for people who are newly developing symptoms. It may help by sharing better ways to coordinate treatment among patients, families, and the clinic/community teams.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 8–40 - NCT03882580Recruiting
Heart care during cancer treatment
This trial looks at how a special heart clinic can help cancer patients avoid or manage heart problems caused by their cancer treatment. It aims to find the best ways to detect, prevent, and treat heart issues during cancer care.
Paris, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03848052Recruiting
Study of lung cancer care in France since 2015
This trial tracks how lung cancer is treated in France, looking at what therapies were used and how care has evolved since 2015. It may help doctors improve future treatment choices by understanding real-world care patterns.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT03876847Enrolling by invitation
Study genetics in people with spontaneous artery tears
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons some people develop SCAD, a sudden tear in a heart artery. It compares people with SCAD to people without it and may help doctors recognize risk and causes.
Ages Any age - NCT03752840Recruiting
Community eye-worker program in Nepal
This trial tests a village-based approach to bring eye care closer to older community members. If you live in the right area and are willing to participate, it may help improve access to eye screening and services.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03738410Recruiting
Phone-based coaching to help women with HIV stay on track
This trial tests an mHealth (phone-based) program to help women with HIV improve health outcomes. It targets people who have had recent challenges with clinic visits, detectable virus levels, or taking HIV medicines.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03728049Recruiting
Blood test during TAVI to improve heart valve procedure outcomes
This study checks whether a quick bedside blood test helps guide care during a minimally invasive TAVI procedure (a new valve put in without open-heart surgery). It may improve safety and outcomes by helping the team manage bleeding-related decisions in real time.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT03829631Recruiting
Test of a back brace for non-dangerous low back pain in ER
This trial studies whether using a lumbar brace in the emergency department helps people with non-serious low back pain recover better. You may be asked to try the brace when you come to the ER for back pain that is not caused by a dangerous underlying condition.
PerthAges 18–65 - NCT03833622Recruiting
Decision support in the emergency room for care goals
This trial tests a shared decision-making tool that helps older adults choose goals of care while they are in the emergency department. It may help you clearly communicate what matters to you—like treatments you would or would not want—so care matches your wishes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - NCT03728166Recruiting
Computer guidance to prevent blood clots after hospital stay
This trial tests a computerized tool that helps doctors decide who needs prevention medicines to lower the risk of blood clots after a hospital stay. It may help reduce preventable clotting risk for people who are less mobile and have added risk factors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT03633708RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children with dialysis-related overactive parathyroid hormone
This trial studies etelcalcetide in children who have chronic kidney disease and too much parathyroid hormone while on hemodialysis. It aims to safely lower the hormone levels and help manage related bone/mineral problems.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT03704207Recruiting
Testing a diagnostic workup to guide care for PCD
This study checks whether using “PCD diagnostics” helps clinicians make better care decisions for people being evaluated for PCD. You might be able to join if you’re referred for PCD diagnosis and can complete the study steps.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 1 year+ - NCT03586336Recruiting
Remote lung fluid monitoring to guide heart failure treatment
This study tests a wearable vest that measures fluid in your lungs to help doctors adjust water-pill treatments for heart failure. It aims to reduce hospital stay and improve recovery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03541785Enrolling by invitation
Using NGAL to guide fluids and start kidney-filtering in children
This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–25 years - NCT03704766Recruiting
Testing fluid markers to detect pediatric joint infections
This study checks special lab markers in joint fluid to tell septic (infected) arthritis apart from other inflammatory causes in children. It may help clinicians detect infection more accurately and quickly so kids can get the right treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 17 years - NCT03680677Recruiting
Checking frailty to guide treatment in older blood cancer patients
This study checks “frailty” (how strong and able you are to function) to help choose better treatment for people age 60+ with certain blood cancers like acute leukemia or MDS. It may help clinicians tailor care before major treatments like transplant or CAR T-cell therapy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,999 recruiting care 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 care 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 care 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.
