Recruiting studies
- NCT03964506RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Hyperbaric oxygen plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This early-phase trial studies whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, along with a donor stem cell transplant, can improve outcomes for certain blood cancers. It may help by supporting the body during transplant and recovery, but it is still being tested for safety and effectiveness.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT04024761RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for leukemia relapse after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT03883711Recruiting
Study of treatment and outlook after heart attack
This trial studies how people do after a heart attack (or related heart injury) and may test treatments that could improve outcomes. If you’re an adult and recently had this heart event, you may be able to join after discussing consent.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT04000061Recruiting
Tracking heart failure and heart attack progress in hospital
This study looks at how heart problems progress while you’re in the hospital, using your medical information (clinical data). It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care for people with heart attacks and heart failure.

Cognitive therapy to prevent problems for very premature NICU babies
This study offers a counseling approach to help prevent “Vulnerable Child Syndrome” in babies born very early and cared for in the NICU. It focuses on support during the early months after birth and compares outcomes for families getting the therapy versus usual support.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT03952299RecruitingPhase 3
Oxybutynin patch after bladder surgery for children’s urgency pain
This study tests whether an oxybutynin skin patch after bladder surgery can reduce bladder pain and urgent, frequent urination in children. It compares symptoms after surgery to see if the patch helps more than the control plan.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 4–8 - NCT02967068Recruiting
Share your study tissue for future research
This study is a “tissue repository” that collects and stores leftover tissue from other approved VCRC studies. If you already took part in one of those studies, you may be able to let researchers use your tissue to help answer future questions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 12–78 - NCT03759522RecruitingPhase 1
PET brain scan for inflammation in MS, fibromyalgia, or CFS
This early-stage study tests an imaging medicine ([F-18]DPA-714) that can help researchers see inflammation in the brain and nervous system. It may help doctors better understand how “inflammation signals” differ across conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65 - NCT03876223Recruiting
Testing imaging to study heart symptoms without blocked arteries
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03718923Recruiting
Study for people with FOXP1 gene changes
This study looks at how people with FOXP1-related neurodevelopmental conditions work and how they’re affected, using genetic, medical, and thinking/learning tests. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care.
New York, New YorkAges 2 years+ - NCT03794531Recruiting
Study of health, stress, and lifestyle changes in Puerto Rico
This study looks at how people’s health, day-to-day stress, and living conditions in Puerto Rico change over time. You might help researchers understand what trends are happening and what could be improved.
San JuanAges 30–75 - NCT03810196Recruiting
Stem cell addback after transplant to treat viral or fungal infection
This study tests a stem cell “addback” treatment after a specific type of transplant (with certain immune cells removed). It may help the body recover faster and fight serious viral or fungal infections in children and teens.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 25 years - NCT03835312Recruiting
Transplant plan for children with genetic immune problems and diabetes
This trial tests a two-step transplant approach using immune-related stem cells and islet (pancreas insulin–making) cells in children and teens who have type 1 diabetes caused by a genetic immune problem. It aims to improve insulin control and protect other organs that are being affected by their immune system.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT03872102Recruiting
Brain imaging study to track Parkinson-related disease changes
This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT03867539RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing shot and education to reduce opioids after carpal tunnel surgery
This study tests whether giving a long-lasting numbing injection (Exparel) plus education about pain management can help people avoid taking opioid pain pills after carpal tunnel release surgery. It may help reduce opioid use while still supporting comfort during recovery.
Dayton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03874052RecruitingPhase 1
Ruxolitinib plus venetoclax and azacitidine for relapsed AML
This early-phase study tests a combination of ruxolitinib with venetoclax, with or without azacitidine, for adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back or does not respond to treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for down syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,055 recruiting down syndrome 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 down syndrome 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 down syndrome 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.
