Study genetics behind blood disorders in children and families
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors that may contribute to certain blood disorders. You may be invited if you or a close family member is receiving care for a blood condition like MDS or MPN, and the study also includes related relatives.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02775461Recruiting
Registry for people at high risk for pancreatic cancer
This study is a registry (a way to track health over time) for people with a strong family history or certain inherited genetic risks for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors learn how best to monitor and protect high-risk people, and to see who benefits most from follow-up.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02829619Recruiting
Eating at Set Times to Help with Weight Loss
This study looks at whether changing when you eat, along with looking at your genes, can help people lose weight. It’s mainly for adults who are above a healthy weight range and don’t have certain health conditions or medicines.
Murcia, MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT02890641Recruiting
Study of brain signals and genes in hard-to-treat epilepsy
This study looks at genetic factors and brain electrical activity in children whose seizures are difficult to control with standard medicines. It also involves exams like MRI and possibly procedures under anesthesia, to better understand seizure causes and help future care.
ParisAges 3 months–25 years - NCT02917460Recruiting
Join a children’s genomic sample and data library
This study collects and stores DNA samples and related health information from people of all ages. It helps researchers understand childhood diseases better and may support future discoveries and treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03054584Recruiting
Study the genetics behind common skin moles
This study looks at why some people develop melanocytic nevi (common skin moles) by examining genetic factors. It may help researchers understand the causes of moles and could guide future skin health research.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03184753RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Modified immune T cells for high-risk ovarian cancer
This early-phase study tests modified immune T cells to treat high-risk stage III–IV ovarian cancer. It aims to see whether the treatment can be given safely and whether it can help control the cancer.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT03357536Recruiting
Study genes that may make people more prone to listeria
This study looks at whether certain inherited genetic differences may increase the risk of getting listeria infection (listeriosis) or developing more severe or unusual forms. Results may help researchers better understand who is at higher risk and why.
ParisAges Any age - NCT02923440Recruiting
Donate DNA and help build a congenital heart study database
This study creates a DNA bank and a French database for babies and children with certain types of congenital heart defects, to better understand genetic causes. You’ll be asked to have a blood test and share consent, even though care can continue as usual at the study hospital.
MarseilleAges Any age - NCT03087253Recruiting
Study of what causes and affects lipodystrophy
This study observes people with lipodystrophy to better understand how the condition develops and affects the body over time. It may help researchers learn who is most affected and guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT03291392Recruiting
CUHK stroke biobank for blood, fluid, and tissue samples
This study builds a research bank using samples from people with stroke, their family members, and some people without narrowing in their blood vessels. Your samples help researchers study stroke and related brain and vessel changes.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT03056794Recruiting
Study of genetic and natural history of PDC deficiency
This study looks at how pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency affects people over time and what genes are involved. It mainly helps by building genetic and health data, which may improve future care and understanding of the condition.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05851209Recruiting
Study biomarkers in people with moderate aortic valve narrowing
This study looks at blood and/or body signals (called biomarkers) to understand why aortic valve narrowing may worsen and what outcomes people have. You may be able to help researchers by undergoing regular heart care plus additional testing like MRI or CT if you qualify.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT05595954Recruiting
Personalized anesthesia plan to protect the brain during heart surgery
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.

Genetic study in people with past lung blood clots after knee or hip surgery
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) markers in people who have had a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) after having a hip or knee replacement. The goal is to understand why blood clots may happen again and help improve future risk prediction and care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for genetics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 704 recruiting genetics 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 genetics 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 genetics 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.
