How very premature babies learn to eat by mouth
This study looks at how very premature babies (born at 28 weeks or earlier) learn to eat by mouth and whether they develop any feeding or mouth problems later. Researchers will review medical records from past years to see what helped or hindered their progress.
LyonAges Up to 6 months - NCT05874154Recruiting
Nerve surgery vs botox for spastic foot after stroke
This trial compares two treatments—tibial nerve selective surgery and botulinum toxin (botox) injections—to improve a stiff, turning-in foot after stroke. It aims to use goal-based care to see which option works better for walking and foot function.
BronAges 18–100 - NCT05805566Recruiting
Study of care for long COVID symptoms in adults
This study follows people who enter a specialized care pathway for long COVID (post-COVID syndrome) to better understand symptoms, needs, and outcomes. It may help improve how multidisciplinary care is organized for long COVID over time.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT05202964Recruiting
Study comfort and safety with oral antibiotics for bone joint infection
This trial studies how tolerable (comfortable) and safe oral antibiotic treatment is for infections in bones or joints. It may help confirm whether taking antibiotics by mouth for at least 6 weeks is well tolerated during treatment.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04687865Recruiting
Biobank study for organ transplant recipients
This study sets up a biobank, which means it collects and stores health samples/data for future research on organ transplantation. You may be able to help researchers better understand transplant outcomes, as long as you meet the study’s eligibility rules.
Lyon, RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT04317677Recruiting
See if bladder pee timing affects infant sleep
This study checks whether changing or timing bladder emptying (pee/voiding) affects how infants sleep. It may help families and clinicians understand sleep trouble in babies after a breathing/safety event, so care can be better targeted.
BronAges 1 month–1 year - NCT03905746Recruiting
Study tests microRNA markers in worsened liver cirrhosis
This study looks at microRNA (tiny molecules in blood) to better understand what’s happening during sudden worsening of cirrhosis. It may help doctors recognize and monitor decompensated cirrhosis more accurately.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT03807401Recruiting
Prismatic test study to support daily independence after brain injury
This study tests a new vision-related “prismatic adaptation” task to see if it could help people with daily independence after a brain injury. Because you’d be asked to do technical testing, the main goal is to understand how the test works in healthy people.
BronAges 18–70 - NCT06735872Recruiting
Non-invasive breathing support for broken ribs and low oxygen
This trial tests if non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) can improve lung healing in people with broken ribs from chest trauma who need extra oxygen. It aims to see if this treatment helps avoid the need for a breathing tube and speeds up recovery.
Lyon, RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT06229158Recruiting
Sexual health needs in advanced cancer: a quality-of-life study
This study asks people with advanced cancer (and their partners) about their sexual health and quality of life. It aims to understand what needs are not being met and how to better support patients and their partners.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05319132Recruiting
Test a lab treatment for ROSAH syndrome using blood cells
This trial studies DF-003 in lab tests using blood immune cells taken from people with ROSAH syndrome. It aims to see whether the treatment works in lab “ex vivo” tests and could guide future options.
Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT05089747Recruiting
Study uses extra blood samples for solid cancer patients
This study looks at how blood can help us better understand solid cancers. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with solid cancer and your usual care already involves taking blood, and you can safely provide samples for the study.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04724603Recruiting
Review of side effects after phage treatment for bone infections
This study looks back at people who were treated with phage therapy for a bone, joint, or implant infection and later had a side effect. It aims to better understand how safe phage therapy is in real-life use.
LyonAges Any age - NCT04805164Recruiting
Gentamicin bone paste to treat stubborn long-bone bone infection
This study tests a bone filler/paste called Cerament-G that releases the antibiotic gentamicin directly at the infected bone site. It aims to improve treatment of chronic bone infection (chronic osteomyelitis) in long bones after surgery.
AmiensAges 18–80 - NCT04692714Recruiting
Cemented vs cement-free robotic knee replacement surgery
This trial compares two ways surgeons can attach a knee replacement using robotic-assisted surgery: with cement or without cement. It may help improve how well the new knee lasts and how patients recover after a first-time knee replacement.
LyonAges 50–80 - NCT04226339Recruiting
Test walking analysis after knee replacement, different alignment methods
This study compares two ways of aligning the knee during a total knee replacement and checks how people walk afterward using a walking test. It may help doctors choose the alignment method that best supports safer, smoother walking.
LyonAges 55–80 - NCT05347563Recruiting
Using a chest sensor to improve ventilation in sick children
This trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
Bron, RhoneAges birth–18 years - NCT03966131Recruiting
Study of tongue and palate effects on speech comfort
This study looks at how the tongue and roof of the mouth (palate) work together when wearing a new dental prosthesis. It may help improve comfort and how well people speak while using dentures.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT03555903Recruiting
Study of quality of life and fertility after deep endometriosis surgery

- How do I know if I qualify for a hospice 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 hospice 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.
