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.

CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07795645Recruiting
AI model training for stomach, heart, and brain diseases
This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that learns from your medical records to better understand and possibly help with diseases like stomach issues, heart problems, and strokes. It may improve how doctors use information from your visit to guide your care.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07578090Recruiting
Managing high blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,247 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.
