Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT04987775RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of NAC for Gulf War illness in veterans
This early-stage study tests the treatment called NAC to understand how it may work in veterans with Gulf War illness–related symptoms like fatigue and brain/mood changes. It also looks at “mechanisms,” meaning what’s happening in the body and brain while you’re in the study.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 47–70 - NCT02848274Recruiting
Looking for factors that predict outcomes in advanced skin lymphoma
This study looks at medical and disease details to find factors that can help predict how advanced mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome will behave. Your information may help doctors better estimate prognosis and plan care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges birth–20 years - NCT04681781Enrolling by invitation
Remote study of SLC13A5 deficiency history
This study follows people with SLC13A5 deficiency to better understand how the condition changes over time, using surveys and clinical check-ins done remotely. If you (or your child) have this genetic condition, it may help researchers learn what symptoms to expect and how to track them.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05388006RecruitingPhase 2
Testing three medicines for Richter transformation in CLL/SLL

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04988555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an investigational drug for high-risk acute leukemia
This Phase 1/2 study tests enzomenib (DSP-5336) in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute leukemia (and, in some places, certain other blood cancers). The goal is to see how the drug works and how safe it is, especially for leukemia cases with specific genetic changes (KMT2A/MLL or NPM1).
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05736146Recruiting
Testing Gulf War illness blood markers for better diagnosis
This study checks blood tests to see whether they can help confirm Gulf War illness. If you qualify as having Gulf War illness (or are a similar Gulf War veteran without it), your blood and health information may be used to validate these marker tests.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 35 years+ - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT04256018RecruitingPhase 2
Mogamulizumab with low-dose skin radiation for lymphoma skin disease
This Phase 2 study tests mogamulizumab together with low-dose total skin electron beam radiation to treat mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, two types of skin lymphoma. It may help shrink skin disease and control symptoms by combining an immune-targeting medicine with skin-focused radiation.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06481176Recruiting
How exercise affects blood in restless legs syndrome
This trial studies how a single session of exercise changes blood markers in people with restless legs syndrome (RLS) who are not currently being treated. If you have moderate to severe RLS and are not regularly active, this study may help us understand how exercise affects your condition.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06703073RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new treatments for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
This trial is testing new treatments for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. The goal is to find therapies that help patients breathe better and recover faster. If you or a loved one has ARDS, this study may offer access to experimental treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03587844RecruitingPhase 2
Test dosing of brentuximab for skin lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests how brentuximab vedotin should be dosed for people with mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome (skin T-cell lymphoma), and also for lymphomatoid papulosis. It may help improve how well the treatment works while tracking side effects.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT03802695RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-Q pill to help during stem cell transplant
This Phase 1 trial studies Orca-Q to see if it is safe and works when added around the time of an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant for certain blood cancers. If you qualify, the study may offer a new option for managing the transplant immune response.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 12–78 - NCT04532424Recruiting
Brain stimulation for repetitive behaviors in autism
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment using magnets on the scalp) can reduce restricted and repetitive behaviors seen in autism. It’s designed for people with autism who have high levels of certain repetitive behaviors, like insistence on sameness or unusual interests.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 12–45 - NCT06701656RecruitingPhase 2
Testing bevacizumab for breathing problems from ARDS
This trial tests if bevacizumab can help people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) breathe better. It is for patients with mild, moderate, or severe ARDS who are already in the hospital.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06566664Enrolling by invitation
Nerve stimulation to help with arm surgery nerve blocks
This study tests if using a small electrical stimulator on the skin can make a nerve block work better for arm surgery. If you are having planned arm surgery and getting a nerve block, you may be able to join.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05724173Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for ALS hand paralysis
This study checks whether a brain-computer interface (a BrainGate2 system) is safe and workable for people with ALS. If you qualify, you may be asked to try the device and complete study tasks to help researchers learn how well it can support communication or control.

Belumosudil for lung scar prevention or treatment after transplant
This Phase 2 study tests belumosudil to treat or prevent bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS), a lung complication that can happen after a stem cell transplant. If you qualify, you would be checked closely with breathing tests and scans, and watched for safety and whether lung function improves or stays stable.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07523581RecruitingPhase 2
Exaluren for Alport Syndrome Kidney Disease
This study tests whether a new medication called exaluren can slow kidney damage in people with Alport Syndrome caused by specific genetic mutations. Alport Syndrome is a genetic condition that damages the kidneys, and this trial aims to see if exaluren can help preserve kidney function and reduce protein loss in urine.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06701682RecruitingPhase 2
Study of vilobelimab for moderate to severe ARDS
This trial tests a drug called vilobelimab for people with moderate or severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). It aims to find if this treatment can help improve breathing and outcomes.

Study of Paridiprubart for moderate to severe ARDS
This trial tests a new medicine called paridiprubart to see if it can help people with moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It may be an option if you have low oxygen levels and no known allergy to the drug.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07538583RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

What taking part in a down syndrome study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
