Recruiting studies in Illinois
- NCT07155226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD3632 for advanced blood cancers with certain gene changes
This trial is testing a new drug, AZD3632, either alone or with other cancer treatments, for people with advanced blood cancers that have specific genetic changes (like KMT2Ar, NPM1m, or others that cause HOX over-expression). The goal is to see if it can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Decatur, IllinoisAges 16 years+ - NCT07216326Recruiting
Depression help for Black and Latinx youth
This trial tests a program to help Black and Latinx teens and young adults with depression. It involves in-person sessions to learn coping skills and support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 15–20 - NCT07362225Recruiting
MPN Progress Registry: Tracking Symptoms and Progression
This observational registry tracks symptoms, treatments, and disease changes over time in people diagnosed with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). By joining, you help doctors learn more about the condition and possibly contribute to better future care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01429389Recruiting
Testing genetic samples in pregnancy to check chromosome changes
This study collects genetic samples from pregnant people who have a higher chance of chromosome changes in the baby. It tests whether taking samples through CVS and/or amniocentesis can help understand the baby’s genetic makeup.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01209000Recruiting
Study for children with new kidney protein loss
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 80 years - NCT00358943Recruiting
Gaucher disease registry and pregnancy tracking study
This study creates a large, long-term record of people with Gaucher disease and details about pregnancy outcomes. It helps researchers better understand Gaucher over a person’s life and during pregnancy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Aurora, IllinoisAges 19–110 - NCT02074839RecruitingPhase 1
Oral AG-120 for advanced blood cancers with an IDH1 mutation
This Phase 1 study tests an oral medicine called AG-120 in adults with advanced blood cancers that have a specific IDH1 mutation. It also looks at safety and how the treatment works, with frequent blood, urine, and bone marrow samples.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02852031Recruiting
Care program for newborns needing the Norwood procedure
This trial focuses on improving care for babies born with certain complex heart conditions where only one pumping chamber works. It is meant for babies (including unborn babies) who are planned to have the Norwood procedure, which is a common early surgery.
Oak Lawn, IllinoisAges Up to 1.3 years - NCT02670161Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Using electronic records to improve care for brain and nerve conditions
This study looks at how doctors use electronic medical records to improve treatment and care for people with certain brain and nervous system conditions. It may help because it tests practice-based approaches across neurology visits.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT02646839Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a gene-matched transplant approach for childhood leukemia
This trial studies a specific type of partially matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in children with ALL, AML, or MDS. It looks at whether using certain immune system gene patterns (KIR) and measuring leftover disease after treatment can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 21 years - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT03417856Enrolling by invitation
Study skin and blood signs in ichthyosis
This study looks at “skin and blood biomarkers,” meaning measurable signs in the body, in people with ichthyosis to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find ways to track disease activity and evaluate future treatments.

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.

Common questions
- Are there down syndrome clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 133 recruiting down syndrome studies with a site in Illinois, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a down syndrome study in Illinois?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a down syndrome trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New down syndrome studies open in Illinois regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
