It may help researchers understand who is likely to decline and how symptoms change, which could support future treatments.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 45 years+ - NCT03854071Recruiting
Heart and health MRI testing in healthy people or patients
This study uses MRI (a scanning test) to develop new ways to measure heart function in both healthy volunteers and people with suspected or known heart disease. It may help researchers create better heart tests that could improve future diagnosis and monitoring.
Sheffield, EnglandAges 20–80 - NCT03867448Recruiting
Study of Hormone Conditions and How the Body Works
This study looks at people with known or suspected hormone (endocrine) conditions. It aims to improve understanding and clinical screening so doctors can better manage these conditions over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT03875625Recruiting
Tracking body fat and liver fat after weight-loss treatment
This study looks at how body fat and liver fat change after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or a lifestyle program. You may join if you have overweight or obesity and can safely have MRI scans, so researchers can compare results between treatment approaches.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges 18–65 - NCT03890224Recruiting
Testing breathing support needs in COPD with high CO2
This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT03891160Recruiting
Using heart scans to plan a support pump in children
This trial is testing a way to help doctors assess babies and children with congenital heart disease and heart failure before placing a temporary heart support pump. It may help improve planning by using heart scans to decide who needs support and how to prepare.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Any age - NCT03915262Recruiting
Active Crohn’s patients with possible pancreas enzyme problems
This study looks at how often people with active Crohn’s disease also have trouble digesting food because the pancreas may not release enough enzymes (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency). It may help doctors better recognize this hidden problem in people whose Crohn’s is currently active.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT03917303RecruitingPhase 4
Check-in app for people with newly diagnosed Crohn’s disease
This Phase 4 study tests whether using the myIBDcoach smartphone app helps people with Crohn’s disease manage their care. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed or having a flare and have not used biologic medicines before.
MaastrichtAges 18–70 - NCT03929887Recruiting
Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
ChuncheonAges Any age - NCT03931707Recruiting
Genetic study of newborns in China
This study collects genetic information from very young newborns to better understand early-life health. Your child’s information may help researchers learn about genetics and future research.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT03937817Recruiting
Donate samples to study globin gene variants
This study collects common body samples to learn how different globin gene variants work and how they relate to health. Your samples may also be used later for new research, including genetic testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT03953768Recruiting
Testing a new vagus nerve stimulator for gut and immune health
This study looks at what happens to your immune system and stomach/gut function after getting a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) for the first time for epilepsy. It may help doctors understand whether the device benefits more than seizures.
Louisville, KentuckyAges birth–60 years - NCT03949972Recruiting
FSGS and MCD patient registry for kidney disease
This study is a registry that collects medical information from people with nephrotic syndrome caused by FSGS or minimal change disease (MCD). It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care, especially by tracking patients over time.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Any age - NCT03972956Recruiting
Collecting samples during cancer or surgery visits
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9,578 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.
