This study follows people with severe or very severe COPD to learn more about their health over time. You may qualify if your COPD causes many symptoms or frequent flare-ups.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07355868RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy for COPD
This trial is testing a new type of cell therapy called REGEND007 for people with COPD. It looks at whether the treatment can help improve how far you can walk and your overall breathing.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 40–80 - NCT05394922Recruiting
Study of sugar patterns in lupus anti-DNA antibodies
This study looks at the “sugar coating” on anti-DNA antibodies in people with lupus. The goal is to better understand these antibody patterns, which may help improve how lupus is studied or treated in the future.
MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT06925373Recruiting
Housing and living conditions for better health
This study aims to learn how housing and living conditions affect health. It invites adults living in certain public housing sites in Birmingham to share their experiences to help improve community well-being.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT05727852Enrolling by invitation
Breath and heart tests to study lung disease stiffness
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06619561RecruitingPhase 2
Testing vimseltinib for chronic graft versus host disease
This trial tests a new drug called vimseltinib for people with active chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) that hasn't gotten better after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if vimseltinib can help control the condition.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05475015Recruiting
3D MRI scan to assess liver scarring and pressure
This study tests whether a special 3D MRI scan (3D-MRE) can measure liver scarring and the high pressure in the liver called portal hypertension. It may help your team use imaging to understand how severe your liver disease is, especially when a pressure test (HVPG) is being considered.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07171216Recruiting
Parathyroid hormone control and bone density in kidney disease
This trial tests whether regulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) can improve bone density in people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. It may help you if you have stage 4-5 CKD and high PTH levels.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 50 years+ - NCT02803242Recruiting
Patient research network for people with lung symptoms
This trial enrolls adults to help build a patient-powered research network for chronic lung disease. If you join, you’ll likely be asked to complete surveys or provide information to help researchers learn how symptoms and health outcomes change over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06881979Recruiting

GenovaAges 18–80 - NCT05638269Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in people with serious long-term illness
This study looks at the types of gut bacteria in people living in certain parts of China who have serious long-term (chronic) illnesses. The goal is to better understand how gut bacteria differ and may help doctors in the future tailor care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,253 recruiting chronic disease 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 chronic disease 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 chronic disease 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.
