Recruiting studies
- NCT05655195Recruiting
At-home light and sound therapy for mild Alzheimer’s
This study tests whether regular at-home “gamma” light and sound stimulation can help people with mild Alzheimer’s. Participants start with a month at home and are followed to see how they do during treatment.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 65–100 - NCT07696533Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for chronic coronary syndrome
This trial sees if a carotid ultrasound is as good as a CT calcium score to detect heart disease in people with chest pain. It may help avoid more expensive or less available scans.
HarrowAges 18 years+ - NCT06910969Recruiting
Telehealth support for chronic graft-versus-host disease
This trial offers a group telehealth program for adults who have chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after a stem cell transplant. The program aims to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05531786RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pacritinib for hard-to-treat chronic graft-versus-host disease
This early-phase study tests pacritinib, a targeted medicine, for chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that hasn’t improved after prior treatments. If you qualify, the goal is to reduce cGVHD symptoms and improve how well you function after a stem cell transplant.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–120 - NCT05195450Recruiting
Tenofovir to stop liver disease in mild hepatitis B
This trial tests tenofovir alafenamide (a hepatitis B antiviral medicine) to see if it can prevent liver disease from getting worse in people with chronic hepatitis B who currently have stable (normal) liver blood tests and low virus levels. It may help lower the chance of developing serious liver complications over time.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT06842316Recruiting
Study on cannabis-like compounds for inflammatory arthritis
This trial tests whether plant-based compounds similar to cannabis (called phytocannabinoids) can help calm inflammation and improve immune function in people with certain types of arthritis or autoimmune diseases like lupus or Sjögren's disease. It aims to offer a new way to treat these conditions without the 'high' of marijuana.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT06756061RecruitingPhase 2
Ruxolitinib and steroids for chronic graft-versus-host disease
This trial tests whether adding ruxolitinib to standard steroid treatment works better than steroids alone for people with moderate to severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). cGVHD is a condition where donor immune cells attack the body after a stem cell transplant.
Seoul, Banpo-daero/Seocho-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07091019Recruiting
CML patient experience study on standard TKI therapy
This study tracks the experiences and health outcomes of people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are taking approved first or second line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicines. It helps doctors learn how these treatments work in everyday care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT02918188RecruitingPhase 2
Hydrogen therapy for steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease
This Phase 2 study tests whether hydrogen therapy can improve symptoms in people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) who cannot tolerate steroid treatment. If steroids aren’t working or can’t be used, this trial may offer an alternative approach to help control the illness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 65 years - NCT07760363Recruiting
Foot exercise device for leg swelling
This study tests if using a foot pedal device while lying down can help reduce leg swelling in the hospital. It aims to see if this simple exercise can improve comfort and outcomes for people with fluid buildup.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07297303Recruiting
Lung health study after stem cell transplant
This study follows lung health after a stem cell transplant from a donor, to understand and manage chronic graft-versus-host disease (a condition where donor cells attack the body). It may help people who are about to have their first donor transplant.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07253259RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cell therapy for hard-to-treat chronic graft-versus-host disease
This study tests a new cell therapy called GT729 for people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that hasn't improved with at least two previous treatments. The therapy is given as an injection and aims to help control the immune system reaction that causes cGVHD.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06363253Recruiting
Gut bacteria study in obesity and muscle loss
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) to understand how they relate to obesity and muscle loss. Researchers will collect stool samples to analyze the gut bacteria, which may help find new ways to treat metabolic diseases.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06991361RecruitingPhase 1
Expanded immune cells and low-dose IL-2 for chronic GVHD
This trial tests whether giving special immune cells (regulatory T cells) grown in a lab, along with a low dose of interleukin-2, can help people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that hasn't improved with steroids. GVHD is a complication after a stem cell transplant where donor cells attack the patient's body.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2 years+ - NCT06942611Recruiting
Electrical brain stimulation for chronic pain from nerve inflammation
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica. It aims to offer a new, drug-free option for pain relief without major side effects.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT06660355RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two medicines for chronic graft-versus-host disease
This trial compares two treatments, ruxolitinib and prednisone, as the first therapy for chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a condition where donor cells attack your body after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which medicine works better and has fewer side effects.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06435494Enrolling by invitation
Using patient reports to improve shoulder care across clinics
This study tests whether asking patients about their shoulder symptoms using a phone or computer app can help doctors and therapists work together to improve care. It is for adults with shoulder pain that started without a sudden injury.
Gentofte Municipality, HellerupAges 18–120 - NCT06217302RecruitingPhase 3
Sotagliflozin for kidney protection in type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether sotagliflozin (a pill that helps control blood sugar and protects the kidneys) can slow down kidney function decline in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least 8 years, have moderate kidney damage, and are on standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,245 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.
