Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04775706RecruitingPhase 2
Test of sonefpeglutide for people with short bowel syndrome
This Phase 2 study tests whether sonefpeglutide is safe and how the body handles it (pharmacokinetics) in people with short bowel syndrome. It may help people who still need nutrition through a tube because their intestinal condition is stable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02780297Recruiting
Study of rare stone-causing kidney conditions
This study is for people with certain rare kidney conditions that can cause kidney stones. It aims to learn how these conditions behave over time and may help improve future care.

Testing RSLV-132 for Sjögren's disease in women
This study tests an investigational drug called RSLV-132 in women with Sjögren's disease to see if it can reduce symptoms like fatigue and dryness. You may join if you've been diagnosed in the last 30 years and have persistent symptoms.

Drug to help prevent and treat cytokine release syndrome
This Phase 1/2 trial tests CTO1681 to help prevent and treat cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in people with DLBCL who are receiving CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. CRS is a potentially serious immune reaction that can happen after CAR T treatment, and this study aims to make that complication less severe or easier to manage.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06673108RecruitingPhase 2

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 Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 173 recruiting down syndrome studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
