Recruiting studies
- NCT06514378RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of stem cells for chronic lung transplant rejection

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
Quality of life in children with posterior urethral valves
This study looks at how children with posterior urethral valves (a condition that affects urination) feel about their quality of life as they grow up. It will help doctors understand how these children are doing emotionally and socially, so they can improve care.
Bron, BronAges 6–17 - NCT03569735Recruiting
Elderly health survey in Nanshan, Shenzhen
This study follows people age 65 and older in Nanshan to learn about health over time using surveys and health samples. It may help researchers understand what supports healthy aging in the community.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 65 years+ - NCT04916132Recruiting
Diabetic kidney damage study using urine tests and biopsy
This study looks at how common diabetic kidney damage is in people with type 2 diabetes, and which factors can predict it. If you qualify, you may be asked to have a kidney biopsy to understand what’s happening inside your kidneys.
Skejby, AarhusAges 18–120 - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06979284Recruiting
Ultrasound inside artery for severe leg blockages
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery (called intravascular ultrasound) helps guide treatment for people with severe leg artery blockages that cause pain, wounds, or gangrene. The goal is to see if it improves blood flow and saves the leg.
HamiltonAges 18 years+ - NCT07312981Recruiting
Diet tracking study for advanced kidney disease
This study compares different ways to record what you eat and drink for people with advanced kidney disease. It may help find easier methods for dietary tracking.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT03773887Recruiting
Study of liver inflammation and healing in alcohol-related liver disease
This study compares patterns of liver inflammation and the liver’s healing ability in people with alcohol-related liver disease, using blood tests and (in most cases) a liver tissue sample. It may help doctors better understand what is happening in the liver and how it may recover.
LilleAges 18–70 - NCT04817072Recruiting
Studying mood changes in inflammatory arthritis patients on biologics
This study looks at how mood disorders (like depression or anxiety) affect people with chronic inflammatory joint diseases when they use biologic medicines. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher mood-risk and how to monitor them.
BesançonAges 18–80 - NCT06615492Recruiting
Lung transplant study: comparing two ECMO methods
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07384897Recruiting
Immune cells in lung cancer and chronic lung disease
This study looks at how immune cells work in lung cancer and chronic lung diseases. It aims to find better ways to treat these conditions by studying immune cells from blood, bone marrow, or lung samples.
BrusselsAges Up to 80 years - NCT01460264Enrolling by invitation
A heart-and-lung health study following adults over time
This study follows adults with heart-and-lung health information over time to understand how these conditions change. It may help researchers find patterns that could guide better care in the future.
LundAges 45–75 - NCT04191395Recruiting
Study of treatments for long-term inflammatory diseases
This study looks at how chronic inflammatory illnesses progress over time and how treatments affect symptoms and disease markers. You may be invited if you’re receiving care for certain bowel, joint, or skin inflammatory conditions at the hospital.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05578495Recruiting
Track daily movement to predict future health problems
This study looks at how active versus sedentary you are (often using a digital signature from your daily routine) to see how it relates to developing multiple health conditions over time. It may help researchers understand which activity patterns are linked with higher risk, especially in certain long-term illnesses.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–90 - NCT07262606Recruiting
Saliva protein levels in gum disease severity and smoking
This study looks at a protein called Mitofusin-1 in your saliva to see if its levels are linked to how serious gum disease is, whether you smoke, and how you respond to treatment. Samples will be taken once before any treatment begins.
Erzincan, ErzincanAges 18–65 - NCT06185530Recruiting
Comparing stress echo vs CT scan for chest pain
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
Harrow, MiddxAges 18 years+ - NCT04578301Recruiting
Predicting who develops serious liver worsening after surgery
This study looks at your liver health before and after surgery to predict the risk of “acute-on-chronic liver failure,” which means a sudden worsening of liver function on top of an existing liver condition. If you qualify, your doctors may use study data to better identify who needs closer monitoring after surgery.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT05230446Recruiting
Testing full stent treatment for heart artery blockages
This study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–85 - NCT07711106Recruiting
Comparing expert IVUS to standard IVUS for left main artery stenting
This study compares two ways of using a special ultrasound camera (IVUS) inside your heart's main artery during stenting. The goal is to see if a new 'expert' computer system helps the doctor place the stent better than the standard IVUS method. It may help people with blockages at the Y-shaped split of the left main artery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,260 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.
