Listening test to find voice clues of long-term health
This study is looking for “vocal biomarkers,” meaning voice patterns that could hint at how well people are doing with chronic (long-term) health conditions. Your participation would involve providing voice samples so researchers can see what voice features relate to health.
LuxembourgAges 15 years+ - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.

Stopping aspirin in older adults with stable heart disease
This trial tests whether older adults with stable heart disease can safely stop taking daily aspirin after two years without increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. It may help reduce the side effects of long-term aspirin use.
CopenhagenAges 65 years+ - NCT07561957Recruiting
Smartphone app to help manage chronic kidney disease
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)—a condition where the kidneys don't filter blood as well as they should—follow the latest medical guidelines. The app aims to make it easier for younger adults to stay on top of their kidney health and treatment.

Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT07221604Recruiting
Goal-setting for advanced kidney disease
This trial tests a program that helps patients with advanced kidney disease, their families, and their doctors work together to set care goals. The program aims to improve communication and quality of life.
Keene, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06953180Recruiting
Epigenetics, aging, and disease prevention study in Kazakhstan
This study looks at how your genes and environment affect your risk for non-communicable diseases like heart disease or diabetes. It aims to predict your biological age and help create personalized prevention plans.
Almaty, KazakhstanAges 18–69 - NCT05843500Recruiting
CTEPD and CTEPH registry for long-term blood-clot lung disease
This study builds a registry to learn about people with chronic blood-clot lung disease (CTEPD/CTEPH) and what symptoms and test results look like over time. It may help clinicians better understand the condition and improve future care, since your participation supports data collection rather than a new drug.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03794531Recruiting
Study of health, stress, and lifestyle changes in Puerto Rico
This study looks at how people’s health, day-to-day stress, and living conditions in Puerto Rico change over time. You might help researchers understand what trends are happening and what could be improved.
San JuanAges 30–75 - NCT02527486Recruiting
Airways registry study for people with COPD symptoms
This registry collects information from people with COPD (and sometimes overlapping asthma-COPD features) to better understand breathing problems and airways behavior. It may help researchers learn which patterns match different symptom types, without necessarily using a new drug.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20–90 - NCT07748858Recruiting
Heart care support for older African American patients
This study aims to improve care for older African American patients with heart conditions and other health problems. It tests ways to provide more patient-centered support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–99 - NCT07469787Recruiting
Transition from pediatric to adult rheumatology care study
This study looks at how to improve the shift from pediatric to adult rheumatology care for young people with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases. It aims to understand how healthcare services can better support this transition.
Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT06910475Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and biomarker study to reduce toxins in kidney disease
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce toxins in the blood for people with chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome. Researchers will also look at blood markers to understand how exercise affects the body.
Taguatinga, Federal DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06679595Enrolling by invitation
Study of care coordination programs for children with chronic illness
This study looks at programs that help children with long-term health needs get better care from different doctors and hospitals. It aims to see how well these programs work and how to improve them.
BrusselsAges Any age - NCT04690972Recruiting
Collection of blood and tissue samples for liver disease research
This study builds a research library of biological samples (like tissue and blood) from people with chronic liver disease. It aims to create better lab and preclinical models of tumors and long-term liver problems, which may help future treatments.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT02060565Recruiting
Test noninvasive scans to diagnose chronic liver disease
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery, like scans and blood-based measurements) can diagnose chronic liver disease in people with certain liver conditions. It may help doctors choose better, less invasive ways to identify the type and stage of liver problems.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT07874139Recruiting
Study on antibiotic resistance in chronic lung disease
This study looks at antibiotic resistance in people with chronic lung disease by checking their respiratory samples. It aims to understand how resistance develops and help improve treatment.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT05071131Recruiting
Inulin supplement to improve gut health in kidney disease
This trial studies whether taking inulin—a dietary fiber—can improve gut bacteria and the gut barrier in people with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. It may help reduce gut-related problems that can affect overall health in kidney disease.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT05865691Recruiting
Study blood and organ changes in chronic liver disease
This study looks at how blood clotting, inflammation, and blood vessels change in people with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. Your blood tests may help researchers understand what drives the disease and could guide future care.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07768865Recruiting
Artery stiffness in young people with kidney disease
This study looks at how stiff the arteries are in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. The results may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care for young people with kidney problems.

Study of elecoglipron for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests an investigational medicine called elecoglipron for people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if it can improve kidney health compared to a placebo (inactive pill) and may be an option for those already on standard blood pressure and kidney protective medications.

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.
