Recruiting studies
- NCT03549754Recruiting
iCaReMe registry for adults with diabetes, blood pressure, or heart/kidney disease
This is a health “registry,” meaning it collects information about people living with common chronic conditions. It may help researchers better understand real-world health needs and outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, and/or chronic kidney disease.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT06474169Recruiting
T-cell study in long-term kidney failure
This study is looking at how immune cells called T-cells work in people with long-term kidney failure. It tests whether these cells can be changed in the lab to help treat the condition.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT06618859Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for moderate kidney disease
This study tests if eating only during a limited daytime window (like 8 or 10 hours) can help people with moderate chronic kidney disease and protein in their urine. It might be a way to improve kidney health without medication.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06813534Recruiting
IVUS-guided stent placement for kidney disease patients
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound camera inside the artery (IVUS) to guide stent placement can improve outcomes for people with serious kidney disease. The goal is to use less contrast dye and protect the kidneys better.
Créteil, CreteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06858280RecruitingPhase 3
Patiromer and diet for potassium in dialysis patients
This trial tests if a medication called patiromer, combined with a low-potassium diet, can help manage potassium levels in people on chronic dialysis. The goal is to improve quality of life by allowing a more flexible diet.
Bergamo, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT06920927Recruiting
Testing an online decision aid for heart and kidney disease
This study is testing an online tool called 'My Heart and CKD' that helps people with both chronic kidney disease and heart disease make decisions about their care. The goal is to see if it is easy to use and helpful for patients and their doctors.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07052539Recruiting
Kidney disease in heart failure with obesity
This study looks at how kidney disease relates to a type of heart failure (called HFpEF) that often happens in people with obesity. It will help doctors understand this connection better.
Jackson, MississippiAges 18–75 - NCT07385651Recruiting
Cool storage for donated kidneys
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03295279Enrolling by invitation
Use of chest CT scans from WTC Health Plan participants
This study creates a research archive of chest CT scan images from people enrolled in the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Plan program at Mount Sinai. It may help doctors and researchers better understand and track chest health over time using existing scan images.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07166848Enrolling by invitation
Electrical stimulation study for dry eye from graft vs. host disease
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation around the eye can help relieve dry eye symptoms caused by chronic graft versus host disease (a complication after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant). It is for people with moderate to severe dry eye who have not had recent eye surgeries or certain other eye problems.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT05970783RecruitingPhase 3
Jincaopian tablets for ongoing pelvic pain after pelvic infection
This trial tests whether Jincaopian tablets can reduce long-lasting pelvic pain that happened after pelvic inflammatory disease. You may be able to join if your pain is still moderate to severe and other causes of pelvic pain have been ruled out.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT07017270RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 drugs for people with diabetes on dialysis
This study tests if a type 2 diabetes medication called a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic) is safe and effective for people on dialysis. It may help manage blood sugar and improve health outcomes for those with kidney failure.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06451458Enrolling by invitation
ECHO diabetes and chronic conditions training for care teams
This trial tests a program (ECHO) to help healthcare teams at busy clinics better support patients with diabetes and other ongoing health conditions. It focuses on training staff, not on giving you a new treatment.
Santa Fe, New MexicoAges 18–89 - NCT05628948Recruiting
Donate blood for a heart and metabolism research biobank
This study builds a “biobank,” which is a collection of blood and related samples, to support future research on heart and metabolic (sugar/body-fat) conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future prevention and treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07026370Enrolling by invitation
Chinese Health Study: Long-term health follow-up
This study is following up with people who already took part in a large health survey in China. It looks at how multiple health conditions develop over time and why some people stay healthier than others.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20 years+ - NCT07383844Recruiting
Physical activity for teens with IBD
This study looks at what helps or stops teenagers with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) from being physically active. It involves completing questionnaires and an interview to understand your experience.
NiceAges 10–17 - NCT06606821RecruitingPhase 4
Tirzepatide for heart health in people with overweight or obesity
This trial tests the weight‑loss medication tirzepatide (Mounjaro) in people who are overweight or have obesity and have stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to see if tirzepatide can reduce dangerous fatty plaque in heart arteries.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT04982965RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study brain changes behind cannabis pain relief
This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–65 - NCT07472049Recruiting
Imaging plaque activity in peripheral artery disease
This trial studies plaque activity in leg arteries using a new imaging method to understand artery disease better. It may help people with peripheral artery disease get more targeted treatment.
Edinburgh, MidlothianAges 18 years+ - NCT07578090Recruiting
Managing high blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol
This study tests a new approach to helping people manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol. Researchers will work with participants to improve their care and quality of life.

BielefeldAges 18 years+ - NCT06514378RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of stem cells for chronic lung transplant rejection
This trial tests whether a single dose of stem cells given through a bronchoscope is safe for people whose lungs are failing after a transplant. It may help those with a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a type of chronic rejection that makes it harder to breathe.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05325099RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azacitidine to help prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This early-phase study tests whether azacitidine (a medication that changes how cells read genes) can lower the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, especially in people already at risk along the chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathway. It aims to protect kidney function during the vulnerable period after surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06439862Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,257 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.
