Recruiting studies
- NCT07444931Recruiting
Predicting cardiac arrest risk in heart disease patients
This study looks at factors that may help predict sudden cardiac arrest in people with coronary artery disease. If you have a recent diagnosis of significant blockage or a heart attack, joining this trial could help improve risk assessment.
HaderaAges 18–75 - NCT07438938Recruiting
Lazarus airway opening index trial for cardiac arrest
This study looks at a new measure called the Airway Opening Index (AOI) to see if it can help doctors predict when a person's airway opens during CPR after a heart attack outside the hospital. If you've had a cardiac arrest and needed a breathing tube, this research might help improve how care is given.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07436962Recruiting
Loop recorder for mitral valve heart condition
This trial tests whether a small heart monitor (loop recorder) can help people with a specific mitral valve condition called mitral annular disjunction. It's for patients who have scar tissue in their heart muscle shown on an MRI.
BudapestAges 18–60 - NCT06813443Recruiting
Studying cardiomyopathy to find who needs a heart transplant
This study is looking at people with cardiomyopathy to understand which patients are most in need of a heart transplant. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about critical cases and improve care for heart muscle disease.
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna/BolognaAges 12 years+ - NCT07421882Recruiting
Cooling after cardiac arrest to improve brain recovery
This trial tests if starting body cooling before reaching the hospital can help protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for adults who are unconscious after their heartbeat has been restored by emergency services.
SingaporeAges 16–80 - NCT04766866Recruiting
Check two blood markers to help prevent preeclampsia
This trial tests whether measuring two pregnancy blood markers (sFlt1 and PlGF) and planning delivery timing can help prevent preeclampsia as you reach term. It may help reduce risk for mother and baby by guiding when to deliver based on test results.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT07372196Recruiting
Left bundle branch pacing after myectomy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
This trial is testing a new way to pace the heart (left bundle branch pacing) for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who still have a dangerous heart rhythm problem after myectomy surgery. It aims to see if this pacing can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblastAges 18–75 - NCT06327945Recruiting
Lung transplant from donors after circulatory death
This trial tests if lungs from donors whose hearts have stopped can be safely transplanted into people waiting for a lung transplant. It may expand the number of available donor lungs.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06857838Recruiting
Bypass surgery for symptomatic myocardial bridge
This trial tests whether bypass surgery is effective for people with a myocardial bridge (a heart muscle that arches over an artery) that still causes symptoms despite medication. It aims to see if surgery can improve symptoms and outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07341490Recruiting
Comparing CT scan vs angiogram to confirm brain death
This trial compares two imaging methods—CT angiography and traditional angiogram—to see if one is better at confirming complete loss of brain function (brain death) in people with severe brain injury. It may help doctors diagnose brain death more accurately and quickly.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06880978Recruiting
Comparing two stent methods for Y-shaped heart blockages
This study compares two stent-placing techniques for people with a specific type of complex heart blockage at a branch point. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for opening up the artery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07274527Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07273643Recruiting
Studying tiny particles in cord blood of very premature babies
This study looks at microscopic particles called extracellular vesicles in the umbilical cord blood of babies born before 28 weeks. Researchers want to see if these particles can help predict severe health problems or death, and eventually improve care for extremely premature newborns.
MontpellierAges birth–3 months - NCT05960929RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing support for premature babies with lung distress
This Phase 3 trial tests whether InfasurfAero™ (a type of surfactant given as aerosol) works better than a sham treatment in preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). It aims to improve breathing in the first hours of life for babies who need CPAP.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06915974Recruiting
Comparing Blood Tests for Sepsis in Burn ICU Patients
This study is comparing two blood tests (Interleukin 6 and Procalcitonin) to find which is better at detecting sepsis (a serious infection) and predicting the risk of death in burn patients in the ICU. If you have moderate burns and are otherwise healthy, this trial could help improve care for burn victims.
CairoAges 25–60 - NCT07209189RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug called Toripalimab before surgery for certain head and neck cancers. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the extent of treatment needed while still being effective.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07174986RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Double defibrillation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving two shocks in a row (instead of one) helps restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and need a defibrillator.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07167680Recruiting
Fall prevention for wheelchair users with MS or spinal cord injury
This trial tests a program to help prevent falls for people with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury who use a wheelchair or scooter. You will learn physical skills with a care partner to stay safe.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07166991RecruitingPhase 3
Anesthesia study for organ donation after brain death
This trial compares different anesthesia strategies used during organ donation surgery after brain death to see which one helps preserve organs better for transplant. It is for brain-dead adult patients in the ICU whose families agree to organ donation and research participation.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06954103Recruiting
Stroke and heart health study for recent stroke patients
This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07144280RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new experimental drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a type of advanced lung cancer that has PD-L1 protein on at least 1% of tumor cells and has progressed after prior treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.

Heart and lung function study with exercise test and five-year follow-up
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work during exercise by using a special test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will follow you for up to five years to see how your health changes. It may help you understand your heart condition better and get more personalized care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for death?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 146 recruiting death 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 death 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 death 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.
