ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT04124029Recruiting
How head injuries affect brain health
This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.

Study of pancreatic tumors in people with VHL
This trial studies the natural course and management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in people with von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease. It may help doctors better predict how these pancreatic findings change over time and how to manage them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT04052022Recruiting
Study of TB flare-ups in people without HIV
This study looks at why some people with tuberculosis (TB) get worse or develop new inflammation after they initially start improving on treatment—called a “paradoxical reaction.” It collects blood and tissue samples to better understand these flare-ups and guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04097561RecruitingPhase 1
Belimumab safety study for low CD4 counts and autoantibodies
This Phase 1 study tests how safe belimumab is for people with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia (low protective white blood cells) and signs of autoantibodies. It aims to learn whether the treatment is tolerable and could be a future option for people with this immune condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT04047628RecruitingPhase 3
MS patients with active relapsing disease comparing two treatment plans
This Phase 3 study compares the best standard MS treatment (chosen by your doctors) versus an approach called autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) for people with highly active, treatment-resistant relapsing multiple sclerosis. It aims to see which option controls MS disease activity better and keeps you safer over time.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT04065516Enrolling by invitation
Test for reflux treatment after POEM for achalasia
This study looks at a specific treatment (“ARAT”) to help people who develop acid reflux after a procedure called POEM for achalasia. It may help reduce reflux symptoms and abnormal acid levels in the stomach/esophagus after the original procedure.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04145258RecruitingPhase 3
Stronger TB treatment for meningitis to reduce deaths
This trial tests if giving a stronger combination of TB drugs for meningitis can save more lives. It's for patients who have been diagnosed with tuberculosis meningitis and have not yet started more than 5 days of TB treatment.
AbidjanAges 15 years+ - NCT04064008Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for a specific hip revision stem
This study follows people who had a hip replacement redone (revision) because of bone healing problems or hardware removal, using a specific revision femoral stem. It checks how the stem does over time and follows up for up to 10 years after surgery.
OtwockAges Any age - NCT04028687Recruiting
Study of a hip stem used in select adult hip replacements
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT04073420Recruiting
Cardiac surgery registry to track Medtronic device outcomes
This registry collects real-world information from people who have had—or plan to have—an eligible Medtronic cardiac surgery device. It aims to better understand how these treatments do over time and help guide future care.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT04097145Recruiting
Heart valve repair for severe leaking tricuspid valve
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (done through the blood vessels) to repair a severely leaky tricuspid valve. It may help people with symptoms or past hospitalizations from tricuspid valve leakage who are higher-risk for standard surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04066608Enrolling by invitation
Screening for advanced liver scarring in people with HIV
This study looks at how common advanced liver scarring (advanced fibrosis) is in people living with HIV. It may help doctors better understand liver risk in everyday care and guide future prevention.
MainzAges 18 years+ - NCT04104659Enrolling by invitation
Tau PET scan study to map brain changes in Alzheimer’s
This study tests a PET scan “tracer” medicine called [18F]MK-6240 to see how tau protein changes show up in the brain. It may help researchers measure disease-related brain changes in people with normal thinking or mild dementia.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04086329RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an oxygen sensor during exercise in muscle disease
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT04039061Recruiting
Study registry for people with ADPKD
This trial is a patient registry that collects information from people who have—or might have—autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future studies.
Kansas City, MissouriAges Any age - NCT04085029Recruiting
Study registry for patients getting focused radiation for spread disease
This study keeps a registry (a record) of people with metastatic (spread) cancer who are receiving focused, high-dose radiation to body sites outside the brain. It aims to better understand outcomes and care patterns for these patients.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04111692Recruiting
Watching foam treatment for cysts in autosomal polycystic disease
This study follows adults with inherited kidney and/or liver cysts that are causing symptoms to see how a foam sclerotherapy procedure may help and what outcomes happen over about a year. You may be eligible if you have a few sizable, specific-type cysts and can safely attend follow-up visits.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–100 - NCT04106830Recruiting
Study to follow neuroinflammation and demyelination diseases with imaging
This study builds a China-based group of people with neuroinflammatory and demyelination diseases and collects health and MRI (brain scan) information. It may help doctors better understand these conditions over time and improve future treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–75 - NCT04140734Recruiting
Study of spacer grafts after lower eyelid surgery
This study looks at outcomes after lower eyelid retraction repair done with a spacer graft. It may help doctors understand how well this method works and what results to expect months after surgery.

Study brain and movement patterns in Parkinson’s or tremor
This study looks at brain signals, thinking, and movement behaviors in people who have Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor and are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It may help researchers better understand how DBS affects the brain and day-to-day function.

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.
