Recruiting studies
- NCT06311981RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation for elderly lung cancer patients
This trial tests carbon ion radiotherapy for adults 75 and older with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery. The goal is to see if this precise type of radiation can treat the cancer effectively with fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 75 years+ - NCT06842459Recruiting
Helping older adults with diabetes stay mobile
This study tests a program to help older adults with diabetes who have trouble moving around. The goal is to see if a special care plan can help them stay independent and avoid getting worse.
Cagliari, CagliariAges 75–110 - NCT05902416Recruiting
Testing haplo transplant for older adults with leukemia or MDS
This study looks at using a “half-matched” stem cell transplant (haploidentical transplant) in adults around your age with acute leukemia or MDS. It may help people who cannot find a fully matched donor, but are still eligible for this type of transplant.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 55–70 - NCT06717581Recruiting
Drug interaction study for older people with HIV
This study looks at how other medicines you take for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol might interact with your HIV medication (Biktarvy) if you are 60 or older. The goal is to learn how to better manage your overall health.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07611084Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation Study in Older Adults in Rural China
This study follows older adults in rural China who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) to better understand the condition and screen for heart failure. Researchers want to learn more about how these conditions affect people in rural communities.
Taizhou, JiangsuAges 65–80 - NCT06996444Recruiting
Testing minimalist shoes to prevent falls in older adults
This study tests whether specially designed lightweight, flexible shoes (minimalist footwear) can help reduce falls in older adults living in nursing homes. Participating involves wearing the shoes and having your walking and balance checked over time.
BeauxAges 65 years+ - NCT06486233Recruiting
Early invasive treatment for elderly heart attack patients
This trial tests whether early invasive treatment (like stenting) is safe and effective for patients 60 or older who have a certain type of heart attack called high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes for older adults.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 60 years+ - NCT07554235Recruiting
Acupuncture for better sleep in seniors with diabetes and high blood pressure
This trial tests if acupuncture given by village doctors can help older adults with both diabetes and high blood pressure sleep better. It aims to improve sleep quality without using sleep medications.
Taizhou, JiangsuAges 65 years+ - NCT06453746Recruiting
Non-drug program to prevent dementia for mild cognitive impairment
This study tests whether non-drug activities (like exercise, brain games, or lifestyle changes) can help prevent dementia in older adults with mild memory loss. You will take part in a program at the hospital and have regular checkups.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 60 years+ - NCT05555693Recruiting
Brain chemistry study after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how brain “metabolomics” (small chemical signals in the brain/body) relate to thinking or mood problems that can happen after surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have these side effects after an operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT07167680Recruiting
Fall prevention for wheelchair users with MS or spinal cord injury
This trial tests a program to help prevent falls for people with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury who use a wheelchair or scooter. You will learn physical skills with a care partner to stay safe.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07400770Recruiting
Hope-based nursing after hip fracture surgery
This study tests a special nursing program based on hope theory to help older adults recover after hip fracture surgery. It aims to improve your emotional well-being and physical recovery.
Taizhou, JiangsuAges 60 years+ - NCT06869265RecruitingPhase 2
Thiotepa added to standard chemo before a stem cell transplant for older adults with high-risk AML
This trial tests whether adding a drug called thiotepa to the usual chemotherapy (busulfan and fludarabine) before a half-matched stem cell transplant can safely and effectively treat older adults (55–70) with high-risk AML.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 55–70 - NCT07441382Recruiting
Comparing treatments for frail older adults with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether combining a heart procedure (catheter ablation) with a device to close the left atrial appendage (LAAO) is safer or better than blood thinners alone for frail patients 75 years or older with atrial fibrillation and high stroke risk. It aims to find a treatment that reduces stroke while lowering bleeding risks.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 75 years+ - NCT07632664Recruiting
New treatment model for older lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a new approach to help older adults (65+) with early-stage lung cancer who are candidates for surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes by using a special assessment to understand each patient's overall health before and after the operation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for elderly people?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 63 recruiting elderly people 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 people 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 people 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.
