Study drug follow-up for LDL reduction in high-risk cholesterol patients
This Phase 3 study looks at the long-term safety and benefit of OLE LIB003 for people with very high cholesterol or heart disease risk who still need lower LDL (“bad cholesterol”). It’s likely a continuation study for participants who already did earlier LIB003 Phase 3 trials.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 10 years+ - NCT04715399Recruiting
Research study collecting data for neurodegenerative diseases
This study collects health information from people with neurodegenerative diseases, some family members, and healthy controls to help researchers better understand these conditions. It may help future diagnosis and research, and participation may include noninvasive checks and other procedures depending on your situation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04731857Recruiting
Genetic testing results study for rare diseases
This study looks at how well different genetic tests (whole exome/genome sequencing and standard genetic tests) work for diagnosing rare genetic diseases and inherited cancer conditions. It may help confirm which testing approach provides the clearest results for families.
TübingenAges Any age - NCT04514445Recruiting
Study of genes in people with bicuspid aortic valve
This study looks for genetic (inherited) differences that may be linked to bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). It includes people with BAV and close family members to help understand why BAV happens and whether genes play a role.
KetteringAges 10–99 - NCT04431024Recruiting
Testing imaging and biopsy options for people with BAP1 risk
This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT03930810Enrolling by invitation
Study of PFIC types and how bile diversion affects outlook
This study looks at different genetic liver conditions called PFIC and follows how they progress over time. It also studies whether a procedure called biliary diversion may improve symptoms or long-term outcomes.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges birth–65 years - NCT03830229Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people with BAP1 mutations
This study follows people with a harmful (deleterious) BAP1 gene change to learn how it affects health over time. It may help researchers better understand mesothelioma risk and the long-term outcomes for families with this genetic mutation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT03683186Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term study of ralinepag for pulmonary hypertension
This study follows people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to see how safe and effective ralinepag is over the long term. It may help your care team understand what to expect from continued treatment and monitoring.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03626844Recruiting
Manual placenta removal after birth study
This study looks at how removing the placenta by hand after a normal vaginal birth may affect the mother. It may help doctors better manage this common procedure.
NazarethAges 18–45 - NCT03544983Enrolling by invitation
Genetic education program for BRCA family members
This trial offers education about BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations to help families understand testing, cancer risk, and next steps. It may be helpful if you are a family member of someone who recently learned they have a BRCA mutation.

Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT03308773Enrolling by invitation
Prevention program for people at risk of type 2 diabetes
This trial looks at a personalized prevention approach for people who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It may help by targeting your specific health factors before diabetes starts.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for family?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 595 recruiting family 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 family 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 family 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.
