Comparing QL1206 to Prolia for postmenopausal osteoporosis
This trial tests a new medication, QL1206, against an approved drug, Prolia, to see if it works as well for treating osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. You may be eligible if you have low bone density and at least one risk factor for fractures.
GuizhouAges 50–85 - NCT05422066RecruitingPhase 2
Selinexor with standard chemo for high-risk lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies selinexor added to standard R-CHOP chemotherapy in people with a high-risk type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is “germinal center B-cell” (GC). It aims to improve disease control in people who need stronger treatment at the start.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07248280RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing nausea and vomiting after surgery in high-risk patients
This trial tests if adding the drug Aprepitant to standard care helps prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery in people who are at high risk for these side effects. It might offer better relief for patients undergoing same-day surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06497205Recruiting
Monitoring fetal heart activity in pregnancy
This trial tests a new wearable device to monitor your baby's heart activity during pregnancy. It aims to see if this device works well for both low and high-risk pregnancies to detect any heart issues early.
London, TootingAges 18–50 - NCT06470750Recruiting
Home care for prostate cancer in Black men
This study looks at whether giving some prostate cancer care at home can help Black men and other patients who have trouble getting to the clinic. It tests if home-based care for treatments like hormone therapy, oral pills, or chemotherapy is practical and helps reduce health care gaps.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06802952Recruiting
Personalized magnetic brain stimulation for early psychosis risk
This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people who are at high risk for psychosis. The stimulation is personalized using a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to target the right areas.
ShanghaiAges 13–35 - NCT07139951Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Heated Chemotherapy for Stomach Cancer at High Risk of Recurrence
This trial tests a special type of chemotherapy that is heated and delivered directly into the belly during surgery (called HIPEC). It uses two drugs, cisplatin and paclitaxel, and is for people with stomach cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning in the lining of the belly.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07531693Recruiting
Improving Outcomes in Early Hormone-Positive Breast Cancer
This study follows women taking abemaciclib (a targeted cancer drug) for early-stage hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer to understand how the treatment affects their quality of life and health outcomes. The goal is to improve care for people in this situation.

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50–85 - NCT07257055RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for aggressive mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a two-step treatment for people with a fast-growing form of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). First, you take a daily pill (BTKi) plus an infusion (rituximab), then a newer targeted therapy (glofitamab) to try to make the response last. The goal is to shrink the cancer and keep it away.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07475026RecruitingPhase 3

Checking if immunotherapy after surgery helps prevent lung cancer return
This trial is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who have already had immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, followed by complete removal of the tumor. It tests whether continuing immunotherapy after surgery (adjuvant treatment) can lower the risk of cancer coming back compared to just watching and waiting.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07226544RecruitingPhase 2

- Are there clinical trials for high risk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 933 recruiting high risk 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 high risk 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 high risk 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.
