Recruiting studies
- NCT05709600Recruiting
Diet study during planned living kidney donation
This trial looks at whether specific diet changes can be safely used for people who are planning a living kidney transplant. It mainly aims to understand how diet might affect people during the donation/transplant process.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT05674396RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation to ease symptoms from head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific, shorter type of focused radiation to help relieve symptoms from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It compares two radiation timing/planning approaches to see which better improves comfort and quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05674643Recruiting
Gastric testing during children’s surgery
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–18 - NCT05669222Recruiting
Staged procedure after heart attack using two heart-visual tests
This trial studies whether doing a planned, staged treatment for some artery blockages after a heart attack can improve outcomes. It uses detailed images of the heart arteries and compares results in people who are stable after their initial emergency procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03761121Recruiting
Imaging study for low-grade glioma in children and adults
This study is testing how to take faster, better brain images in people diagnosed with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor). Better imaging may help doctors see the tumor more clearly while reducing time spent in the scanner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth+ - NCT05545306Recruiting
Study tests how extra calories change your daily energy use
This study looks at how eating more calories affects your body’s natural heat production and total energy use over a full day. It may help researchers better understand how the body manages weight and energy.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–60 - NCT05408117Recruiting
Compare suture types to reduce skin color changes after surgery
This study looks at whether different types of stitches (sutures) can lower the chance of pigment changes—skin color looking lighter or darker—after dermatology surgery. It may help patients who want to reduce the risk of visible skin color changes as their wound heals.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05333627Recruiting
Online therapy program trial for student depression or anxiety
This trial tests an internet-based therapy program to help students with depression or anxiety. If you qualify, you’ll complete online sessions and assessments to see whether the program helps with symptoms and how long you prefer to use it.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 18 years+ - NCT05327608Recruiting
Time-restricted eating during chemo before breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether eating only during a certain window of time each day (time-restricted eating) can improve outcomes for people with early-stage breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery. It may help with treatment side effects and overall health.
Cherry Hill, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04701684Recruiting
Fast-stroke treatment workflow study to save minutes to clot removal
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04539717Enrolling by invitation
Fast MRI test for liver cancer screening
This study tests a quicker MRI screening approach for people with cirrhosis to look for liver cancer early. It may help make liver cancer checkups faster and easier while still finding cancers when they are small.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04394806Recruiting
Fasting and meal-fat study in early pregnancy
This study looks at how fasting and eating affect a pregnancy’s fat levels in the belly and liver. It may help researchers understand how maternal metabolism could impact baby and pregnancy health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges birth–39 years - NCT04458883Recruiting
Cardiac MRI test in people with prior heart attack
This study uses special heart MRI scans to improve how heart images are made and interpreted. You may be asked to undergo MRI testing to help compare scans in people with a past heart attack and healthy volunteers.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 20 years+ - NCT03741777Recruiting
Comparing stomach fluid left after different clear drinks in kids
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–17 - NCT02994160Recruiting
DEFT hand control test for people with arm amputations
This study tests a special implanted system meant to help control a hand using nerve signals. It is for adult arm/hand amputees and may help improve hand/arm control and reduce pain impacts.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–95

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fasting?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 207 recruiting fasting 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 fasting 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 fasting 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.
