Study of genetic and blood features in Upshaw-Schulman
This study looks at how genetic changes (ADAMTS13 gene mutations) and blood test results relate to symptoms and treatment needs in Upshaw-Schulman syndrome. It may help doctors better predict disease behavior and personalize care.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges Any age - NCT00662090Recruiting
Study of blood disorders in children with MDS or JMML
This study looks at two childhood blood disorders—myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). The goal is to describe how these conditions work in children and better understand them over time.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges Up to 17 years - NCT01174108RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant with donor T-cells for severe bone marrow failure
This Phase 2 study tests a specific type of donor stem cell transplant for severe bone marrow failure conditions, aiming to improve cure rates while reducing transplant risks. It includes people with diseases like severe aplastic anemia and certain bone marrow disorders, especially when standard transplant plans feel too risky.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 4–80 - NCT01132885Recruiting
Brain scans in children with Williams syndrome
This study uses brain testing—often MRI scans—to learn how the brains of children with Williams syndrome are different from typical development. It may help researchers better describe brain patterns and improve future care for people with Williams syndrome.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5 years+ - NCT01218776Recruiting
Survey study for people with acute heart symptoms
This study is an international survey about acute coronary syndromes, which are sudden signs of heart-related problems. Your answers can help researchers better understand symptoms and care needs after these events.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT01950624Recruiting
DS-Connect registry for people with Down syndrome
This is a study registry that collects information from people with Down syndrome (or certain forms like mosaic or partial trisomy 21) and their families. It helps researchers learn about health and needs over time and makes it easier to contact people for future studies.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Any age - NCT02329210Recruiting
Registry study for people with Bardet-Biedl syndrome
This study is a registry that collects health and genetic information from people with Bardet-Biedl syndrome. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care by building a clear group of eligible patients.
Marshfield, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT02417740Recruiting
Study of the natural course of noncirrhotic portal hypertension
This study follows people with noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) or people at risk for it to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It does not sound like a medication trial—more like careful monitoring to learn what happens in different people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–100 - NCT02143986Recruiting
Testing glycosylated ferritin to evaluate inflammation
This trial looks at a blood test called “glycosylated ferritin” to help doctors better identify certain dangerous inflammatory conditions. It may help clarify whether your high iron-related marker is due to inflammation rather than other causes.
BrusselsAges Up to 85 years - NCT02890485Recruiting
Dry needling for knee pain with stair or squat pain
This study tests whether dry needling can reduce ongoing knee pain in people who feel pain around the kneecap when going up or down stairs, squatting, or running. You may be able to join if your knee pain has lasted at least 3 months and you’re referred to physical therapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–40 - NCT02502162Recruiting
Low-dose naltrexone for complex regional pain syndrome
This trial tests whether low-dose naltrexone can reduce symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a long-lasting pain condition in an arm or leg. It may help by targeting pain signaling, but you must meet specific CRPS diagnosis and medication rules to join.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT02829684Recruiting
Register for people with Prader-Willi syndrome
This is a patient registry that collects information about people with Prader-Willi syndrome. It may help researchers better understand the condition and plan future studies.
ToulouseAges Any age - NCT02269592Recruiting
Study blood marker changes in early, symptom-free blood cancers
This study follows people with early, “precursor” blood conditions to learn what changes in their blood or bone marrow signal progression. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and understand why some people develop symptom-causing cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02438085Recruiting
Registry study of acute chest pain heart events in Ferrara
This study records information about heart problems that require hospital care, such as acute coronary syndromes. It helps researchers understand how these events happen in the Ferrara area and what care people receive.
Cona, FerraraAges 18 years+ - NCT02434445Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to predict kidney failure in cirrhosis
This study checks new blood and urine tests to predict who with advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis) will develop hepatorenal syndrome, a serious kidney problem. The results may help doctors spot risk earlier, especially for people being referred for a liver transplant.
Hong KongAges 18–90 - NCT02356653RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stem cell transplant help for children lacking a matching sibling
This expanded-access study offers a specific type of stem cell transplant preparation that removes certain immune cells (CD3 and CD19) from donor stem cells. It is for children who need a transplant but do not have a fully matched sibling donor and whose team cannot use the hospital’s usual matching device protocol.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 30 years - NCT02841553Recruiting
Online registry for Wolfram syndrome worldwide
This study builds an international online registry to learn how Wolfram syndrome (and related WFS1 conditions) changes over time. It may help researchers understand the disease course and improve future care by collecting health and family history data.
St Louis, MissouriAges birth+ - NCT02378805Recruiting
Alport syndrome registry to help delay kidney failure
This is a registry that collects information from people with Alport syndrome to better understand the disease and how to delay kidney failure. It may help researchers learn which factors and treatments are most important over time.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02508038RecruitingPhase 1
Test CD19+ depleted donor transplant for hard childhood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a special type of half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant plus medicines, aiming to reduce cancer relapse after transplant. It may help children and teens with certain leukemia/lymphoma or specific solid tumors who do not have a fully matched donor or whose best options are limited.
Madison, WisconsinAges 7 months–21 years - NCT02720679Recruiting
Study genetics behind blood disorders in children and families
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors that may contribute to certain blood disorders. You may be invited if you or a close family member is receiving care for a blood condition like MDS or MPN, and the study also includes related relatives.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for down syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,196 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.
