Recruiting studies
- NCT04842266Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize pelvic fractures and reduce pain
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT04674267Recruiting
Health and well-being study for older adults with gastrointestinal cancer
This study looks at how older adults with gastrointestinal cancer manage their health and well-being. It aims to understand and improve care for this group.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT04405115Recruiting
Help for older adults to get better cancer aftercare
This study aims to improve “survivorship care plans,” which are follow-up instructions after chemotherapy, to help older adults feel supported after cancer treatment. You may be able to participate if you’re 65+ and recently finished chemotherapy with the goal of cure and have a plan scheduled with an oncology navigator.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT04300998Recruiting
CAR-T therapy study for older adults
This study looks at how well CAR-T cell therapy works and how safely it can be given to older adults. It is for people whose cancer or related blood condition has come back or did not respond, and who are receiving a standard (commercial) CAR-T product.
New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT04076735Recruiting
Compare fixing vs replacing certain leg bone fractures in seniors
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT04007432Recruiting
Testing nighttime low-oxygen levels after hip fracture surgery
This study checks how often older adults get low oxygen during the night after hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and improve care during hospital recovery.
ParisAges 70 years+ - NCT03906253Recruiting
Laser treatment to prevent skin growth in older adults
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
Dayton, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT03705598Recruiting
Tai chi for older adults with chronic pain
This study tests whether practicing Tai Chi can reduce pain and improve balance in older adults who have chronic pain in multiple areas. Tai Chi is a gentle form of exercise that involves slow movements and breathing, and it may help you feel better and reduce your risk of falling.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT03713853Recruiting
Compare hip surgery methods for new pelvic bone fractures
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for geriatric?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 177 recruiting geriatric 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 geriatric 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 geriatric 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.
