Recruiting studies
- NCT03083405Enrolling by invitation
Study of tooth grinding during sleep
This study is for adults who have been diagnosed with sleep bruxism (tooth grinding during sleep). Researchers want to understand it better using sleep testing, and it may help refine how this condition is evaluated.
WroclawAges 18–70 - NCT02669602Enrolling by invitation
Spanish university graduates’ health follow-up study
This is an observational study that follows Spanish university graduates over time to learn how health changes. It may help researchers understand risk factors and what lifestyle or health patterns are linked to better or worse outcomes.
Pamplona, NavarreAges Any age - NCT02564692Enrolling by invitation
APOE gene testing registry to find Alzheimer’s prevention studies
This program enrolls people to get a gene test (APOE) so researchers can match you to Alzheimer’s prevention studies in the future. If you qualify, you do the test but you would not receive your gene test results.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50–90 - NCT02553525Enrolling by invitation
Testing different stimulation patterns in Parkinson’s, tremor, and MS
This study tests whether changing the “stimulation pattern” in a deep brain stimulator can improve how well symptoms are controlled. If you are already getting (or replacing) a deep brain stimulator, this may help fine-tune the settings for you.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–80 - NCT02402426Enrolling by invitation
Online brain health registry for adults
This study is building an online registry where adults can share information to help researchers find people for future brain research. Joining may help future studies get the people they need.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02393703Recruiting
Testing blood signals from tiny cell packets in pancreatic surgery
This study looks at how tiny particles in blood (“exosomes”) carry signals between cells in people having pancreatic surgery. The goal is to understand these signals in different pancreatic conditions and treatment situations, which may help future care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02202681Enrolling by invitation
Swallowable capsule scans the duodenum with special imaging
This study tests whether a swallowable imaging capsule can safely look at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It may help researchers better understand gut lining changes, such as those seen in celiac disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 16 years+ - NCT02414178Enrolling by invitation
Tau PET brain scan for inherited Alzheimer’s disease
This study uses a special brain scan to measure “tau” buildup in people with an inherited form of Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers better understand disease changes and evaluate whether the scan can track them over time.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02669797Enrolling by invitation
Family-based program to help families eat dinner together
This study offers an intervention focused on family dinners to help children improve their eating habits. It targets children who eat family dinners rarely and have a higher weight range, to see if the program can help improve health over time.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 5–10 - NCT02511002Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up after an influenza challenge study
This study keeps track of how your body’s immune responses change over time after an influenza exposure. Researchers may use stored blood samples to study specific antibody levels, which could help improve future flu vaccines or treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00833599Enrolling by invitation
Scan lymph drainage and collect samples for related conditions
This study uses a special light scan after a dye is given to look at how your lymph system drains. It may also include genetic testing for people with a family history of lymph-related disorders to better understand causes.
Houston, TexasAges 3 months+ - NCT00807482Recruiting
Study of lung disease causes in primary ciliary dyskinesia
This study looks at how primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD—a lifelong problem with tiny lung “sweepers”) affects the lungs. You may be able to join if you strongly seem to have PCD based on symptoms, or if you’re a healthy person with a close family member who has confirmed PCD.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT00704626Enrolling by invitation
Blood antibody tests in autoimmune brain and nerve diseases
This study looks at blood “auto-antibodies,” which are immune proteins that may attack the body, in people with certain brain and nerve conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how the immune system is involved.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00583817Enrolling by invitation
Endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00950430Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Brain scan study for amyloid plaques in adults
This study uses brain imaging to look for amyloid plaques (abnormal protein deposits) as people age. It may help researchers better understand how these changes develop over time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30–100 - NCT01186913Enrolling by invitation
Natural history study for severe combined immune deficiency (SCID)
This study follows children and adults with SCID and related immune disorders to understand how the illness behaves over time. It also helps researchers learn which testing results and genetic types of SCID match different treatment plans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT00585572Enrolling by invitation
Wisconsin Brain Donor Program for research after death
This program collects donated brain tissue and related samples after death to help researchers study brain diseases. You may be eligible if you’re an approved family member of a specific study participant, or you meet certain health and consent requirements.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT00186147Enrolling by invitation
Bone marrow grafting for leukemia and lymphoma
This study involves bone marrow cell grafting for people affected by leukemia or lymphoma. You may be eligible if you are a transplant recipient or a donor and you freely choose to take part.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT00102544Enrolling by invitation
Tracking Devices to Find Abnormalities During Medical Procedures
This study tests technology that uses imaging scans to help doctors locate and reach abnormalities during surgical or interventional procedures. The goal is to make these image-guided procedures more accurate and safer for patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00378924Recruiting
Cardiology health study using blood or cheek swabs
This registry collects health information and samples (a blood draw or cheek swab) from adults to help researchers study heart-related conditions. You may qualify whether or not you currently have heart disease, as long as you can safely provide a sample and consent.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 20 years+ - NCT01517425Enrolling by invitation
Using blood stem cells to study heart disease traits
This study uses your blood to create special lab cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) to better understand heart-related differences between people with coronary artery disease and generally healthy older adults. It may help researchers learn what biological traits are linked to heart risk and how those traits work.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00895271Enrolling by invitation
Making lab cell lines from skin biopsies in immune disorders
This study creates special lab cell lines from skin (or nasal) samples from people with immune system disorders and certain family members. It’s meant to help researchers build tools to better study these conditions using patient cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–85 - NCT01734122Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9,506 recruiting 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 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 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.
