GenevaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04763980Recruiting
Health coaching to help Black men get prostate germline genetic testing
This study tests a community health coach to help Black men with prostate cancer understand and access genetic testing that looks for inherited cancer risk. It may help you talk with your care team about testing and reduce barriers to getting results.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04638725Recruiting
Genetics study to find why HER2 breast cancer treatment varies
This study looks at genetic factors to understand why some people’s HER2-positive breast cancer responds better—or has more side effects—after treatment. Your info and possible past treatment history may help researchers improve how HER2 treatment is chosen and managed.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04586075Recruiting
Get help finding the cause of an undiagnosed genetic condition
This study evaluates people whose medical cause is still unclear even after genetic tests and other workups. It uses coded health data and lab samples to look for a new or rare genetic cause, and it may return additional (“secondary”) genetic findings.
Madison, WisconsinAges Up to 100 years - NCT04513054Recruiting
Genetic study for stress-related heart muscle weakness
This study looks for a possible inherited (genetic) reason some people develop Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after severe stress. If you’ve had this condition, the study may help explain why it happens and whether families could be at higher risk.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges Any age - NCT04417387Recruiting
Check genetics to improve heart disease risk prediction
This study looks at whether adding genetic information to a standard NHS Health Check can better predict a person’s risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). If you qualify, you may be asked to provide genetic information to help refine future risk estimates.
LeicesterAges 40–74 - NCT04475640Recruiting
Genetic testing study for cancer patients in different ethnic groups
This study looks at cancer-related inherited gene changes using blood samples. It may help patients and doctors understand cancer risk and guide treatment planning, especially across different ethnic communities.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04477863Recruiting
Follow-up study for people who had genetic testing in embryos
This trial follows up with people who chose to participate in research when getting preimplantation genetic testing (testing genes in embryos). It may help researchers understand outcomes and improve future genetic testing and counseling.
North Brunswick, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT04419896Enrolling by invitation
Patient registry for people who had genetic testing
This registry collects past and ongoing health and genetic testing information from adults who have had germline or other genetic/blood biomarker tests. It helps researchers learn patterns that may improve cancer care in the future.
Redding, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04167748Recruiting
Genetic testing for embryos in IVF for women 35–40
This study looks at using embryo genetic testing before pregnancy in IVF for women aged 35 to 40. It may help by identifying which embryos are more likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy, though you would still be screened to confirm you fit the criteria.
Margate, FloridaAges 35–40 - NCT04046796Recruiting
Study genetics in identical twin who differ in symptoms
This study looks at DNA changes to explain why two identical (monozygotic) twins can have different symptoms. It may help clarify the cause of an unclear condition in one twin so the right diagnosis (and future treatment) can be found.
TübingenAges Any age - NCT04141462Recruiting
Genetic testing study for early cancer risk
This study looks at whether DNA (from a tumor or related samples) can help identify inherited cancer risk in people who develop cancer at a young age. It may help families learn more about risk factors and guide future screening or prevention.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04024631Recruiting
Study genes and diabetes risk using body measurements
This study looks at how genetic risk relates to developing type 2 diabetes, using information from a biobank and body measurements like weight. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk before diabetes starts.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–70 - NCT03729180Recruiting
Using genetic test results to guide care during surgery
This study looks at whether using a person’s genetic information helps doctors make better decisions during planned surgery. It may help tailor care, but you would only join if you can consent and don’t have certain serious conditions.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03862365Recruiting
Study genetics in people with nerve pain
This study looks at genetic differences in people being checked for a common type of nerve problem called distal symmetric polyneuropathy (nerve damage that usually affects the hands and feet). By understanding genetics, researchers hope to learn more about why neuropathic (nerve) pain happens and how it may differ between people.
BergenAges 18–70 - NCT03876847Enrolling by invitation
Study genetics in people with spontaneous artery tears
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons some people develop SCAD, a sudden tear in a heart artery. It compares people with SCAD to people without it and may help doctors recognize risk and causes.
Ages Any age - NCT03538639Recruiting
Study blood and tissue samples for vascular disease discovery
This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for genetics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 693 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.
