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 - NCT02604563Recruiting
Aging, blood changes, and health in older adults
This study examines why some older adults develop changes in their blood cells that may affect their health. Researchers will look for links between these blood changes, aging, and common health problems in older people.
St Louis, MissouriAges 50 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT02447861Recruiting
Study of behavior differences in 3q29 deletion or duplication
This study looks at how brain development and behavior may differ in people with a 3q29 deletion or 3q29 duplication. It may help researchers understand what to expect and how these conditions affect daily life.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT02019706RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT01419561RecruitingPhase 2
Studying KSHV inflammatory syndrome (KICS)
This study tracks people with KICS, a condition caused by KSHV (a virus related to Kaposi sarcoma). It aims to understand the syndrome better and may lead to future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01443468Recruiting
Study of Li-Fraumeni syndrome family cancer risk
This study collects medical and genetic information to better understand how often cancer develops in people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and related family risks. It may help families and doctors plan earlier awareness and follow-up over a person’s lifetime.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT01852370Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant plan for immune system disorders
This early-phase study tests a step-by-step transplant approach: first replacing the lungs, then doing a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant to treat certain immune deficiency diseases. It may help people whose immune problem has led to severe, end-stage lung disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–45 - NCT01311323Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for down syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,060 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.
