Study for COPD flare-ups given standard rescue medicines
This study looks at people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up (“exacerbation”). It may help improve how flare-ups are treated because participants need to receive the usual rescue medicines like steroids and/or antibiotics and then follow a study plan.
LinzAges 18 years+ - NCT05061368RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil by mouth to improve breathing in COPD
This Phase 2 trial tests whether sildenafil tablets can improve exercise ability, shortness of breath, and heart-lung function in people with COPD. It also compares against people without COPD to better understand how sildenafil affects breathing tests.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 40–80 - NCT05020574RecruitingPhase 2
Study how the microbiome may affect breast implant infections
This Phase 2 study looks at whether changes in the body’s “microbiome” (the normal germs in and on the body) are linked to infections after breast surgery with implants. It may help doctors better predict and prevent implant infections in people undergoing mastectomy with immediate implant placement.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05011071Enrolling by invitation
Alberta BLOOM study for very premature newborns
This study follows babies born very early and their parents to learn about early health and development. It may help doctors better understand what babies need after a premature birth.
Calgary, AlbertaAges birth+ - NCT05023772Recruiting
Laser and targeted radiation for spine metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses a laser and focused radiation to shrink tumors in the spine and help stabilize the area near the spinal cord. It’s meant for adults with certain types of solid cancers that have limited spread in the spine and who are not good candidates for surgery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05029726RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during back surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05066139Recruiting
Study of older adults with digestive cancer
This study checks how well different care plans work for people age 75 and older who have digestive cancer and are about to start chemotherapy or targeted therapy. The goal is to improve treatment support and outcomes by doing a detailed, multidisciplinary evaluation.
StrasbourgAges 75 years+ - NCT05046002Recruiting
COVID vaccine heart inflammation symptom registry
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects medical information about people who develop possible heart inflammation after a COVID-19 vaccine. It may help doctors understand how often this happens and which findings are linked to it.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 5 years+ - NCT05065151Recruiting
Studying motivation in Parkinson’s using brain stimulation recordings
This study looks at what drives motivation in people with Parkinson’s disease (or dystonia) by using recordings from an implanted brain stimulation device. It may help researchers understand brain signals behind motivation and improve future treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05039216Recruiting
Biobank for inflammatory arthritis and osteoporosis
This study collects and stores health information and samples for people with long-term inflammatory arthritis (like rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, or psoriatic arthritis) or with osteoporosis. It helps researchers understand these conditions and may lead to better future treatments.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05004987RecruitingPhase 4
Study brain and blood changes in older adults with depression
This study looks at how a brain protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease changes over time in older adults who have major depression but no major memory problems. It involves brain scans, blood and urine tests, and a spinal fluid sample to better understand the connection between depression and brain aging.
New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT05065060Recruiting
Parkinson study tracking health online and long-term
This study aims to better understand Parkinson’s disease over time by collecting health information online. You may join if you have Parkinson’s, or if you don’t, to compare changes and help researchers find useful markers.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05048680Recruiting
Breathing low-oxygen training to support brain blood flow in seniors
This study tests whether brief “low-oxygen” conditioning can improve blood flow to the brain and overall cerebrovascular (brain blood vessel) health in older adults. It may help people who are generally less active, as long as they have no major medical or safety barriers for the training.
La Tronche, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 60–80 - NCT05021029Enrolling by invitation
Observational study of pre-cancerous stomach conditions
This study follows patients with pre-cancerous stomach conditions to learn more about how they progress. By collecting health information over time, researchers hope to improve early detection and treatment of stomach cancer.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02039752Recruiting
Registry for adults with multi-vessel heart disease
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with heart disease affecting more than one vessel. It may help doctors better understand how these conditions are managed over time at Asan Medical Center.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT02792075Recruiting
Study heart artery narrowing seen on special imaging
This study follows people who already have a heart artery imaging test to understand what the imaging means for future heart outcomes. It may help doctors predict prognosis and guide treatment for coronary narrowing.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 19 years+ - NCT01788592Recruiting
Study of drug-coated stents in routine heart procedure care
This study follows people who need a heart procedure to open narrowed coronary arteries using a drug-coated stent. It aims to see how well these stents work and how people do in everyday clinical practice.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT03563417Recruiting
CTO treatment vs medicines after heart scan
This trial studies whether opening a blocked coronary artery (a CTO) helps people more than staying on the best available heart medicines after an initial 3-month treatment period. It uses heart imaging to confirm there is reduced blood flow in the area supplied by the blockage.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT02986516Recruiting
Surgery or definitive radiation for primary sacral chordoma
This trial compares two standard treatment approaches—surgery versus definitive radiation—for people with a primary sacral chordoma (a bone tumor at the lower spine/pelvis area). It aims to find which approach works best for controlling the tumor while considering treatment side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9,353 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.
