Bucheon-siAges 60 years+ - NCT06674096RecruitingPhase 2
Two chemotherapy sequences for elderly double expressor DLBCL
This trial tests a new sequence of two chemotherapy regimens (RLC followed by CR-CHOP) for elderly patients with a fast-growing DLBCL called double expressor lymphoma. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who may not tolerate standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - NCT06683885RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drug combo for elderly DLBCL patients
This trial tests a combination of targeted drugs (Obutinib or Decitabine) with standard chemo (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Prednisone) for elderly patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who cannot handle full-dose chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works as well.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 65 years+ - NCT07328958Recruiting
Ciprofol dosing for blood pressure in elderly abdominal surgery patients
This study tests if giving the sedative ciprofol in carefully adjusted doses can prevent low blood pressure during and after laparoscopic belly surgery in older adults. It may help your surgical team keep your blood pressure stable.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65 years+ - NCT07621120Recruiting
Wearable Device to Predict Surgery Risk in Older Adults
This study uses a wristwatch-like device to measure your movement and body functions before and after surgery to help predict which older patients might have complications. The goal is to improve safety planning for people 65 and older having surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT07746505Recruiting
Remimazolam vs midazolam for anesthesia in older adults
This study compares two sedative medicines used to start general anesthesia in patients 65 and older having non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see which one is safer and works better for older patients.

ParisAges 60–80 - NCT03966716Recruiting
Hip screws or hip replacement for small hip fractures
This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for elderly patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 230 recruiting elderly patients 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 elderly patients 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 elderly patients 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.
