Recruiting studies
- NCT07783243Recruiting
Leishmaniasis vaccine response study in Ethiopia
This study tests how your immune system responds to parts of a potential vaccine for leishmaniasis. Doctors will take small blood or skin samples to see if your body's cells react to these vaccine pieces, which could help design a better vaccine in the future.
Addis AbabaAges 18–65 - NCT07504757Recruiting
Leishmaniasis in Children: A Study
This study watches how leishmaniasis affects children over time. It helps doctors learn more about the disease in kids so they can improve care.
Florence, TuscanyAges Up to 17 years - NCT06040489RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Oral treatment for leishmaniasis in older adults
This trial tests if oral medicines can treat cutaneous (skin) or mucosal leishmaniasis in people aged 60 and older. It compares two different pills to find a safer, easier option for elderly patients.
Brasília, Federal DistrictAges 50 years+ - NCT06307171Recruiting
Leishmaniasis: studying the body's immune response
This study looks at how the immune system reacts to Leishmania infection and searches for new ways to diagnose the disease. It may help develop better tests for leishmaniasis.
Negrar, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT06550609RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled pentamidine plus oral miltefosine for mucosal leishmaniasis
This trial tests a combination of two medicines—inhaled pentamidine and oral miltefosine—to treat mucosal leishmaniasis, a parasitic infection of the nose, mouth, and throat. It may be an option for people in Bolivia who have not been treated recently.
La Paz, La Paz DepartmentAges 12 years+ - NCT06746350Recruiting
Heat therapy for skin sores from leishmaniasis
This study tests if using heat therapy (thermotherapy) in local clinics is a good way to treat skin sores caused by leishmaniasis. It may be an option for people with a few small sores not on the face or near sensitive areas.
Addis AbabaAges 12–60 - NCT06793111Recruiting
Visceral leishmaniasis study in Emilia-Romagna
This study looks at people diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis, a serious infection caused by a parasite. It aims to learn more about the condition and how it affects people in the Emilia-Romagna region.
Cesena, Forlì-CesenaAges 6–90 - NCT06797544RecruitingPhase 2
Levofloxacin injections for skin sores from Leishmania
This trial tests whether injecting the antibiotic levofloxacin directly into sores caused by Leishmania parasites can help heal them. It might be an option if you have a few sores and haven't recently been treated for this infection.
BaghdadAges 18–80 - NCT06798402RecruitingPhase 2
Ciprofloxacin injections for skin sores from leishmaniasis
This study tests whether an injection of ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic) directly into skin sores can treat cutaneous leishmaniasis as effectively as the standard medicine, sodium stibogluconate. It may be an option if you have a small number of sores and have not been treated recently.
BaghdadAges 18–80 - NCT06798415RecruitingPhase 2
Metronidazole injections for leishmaniasis skin sores
This study tests if an injection of the antibiotic metronidazole directly into skin sores can help heal leishmaniasis, a parasite infection from sandfly bites. It's for people with fewer than seven sores.
BaghdadAges 18–80 - NCT06822478RecruitingPhase 3
Arnica tincture for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis
This trial tests whether arnica tincture (a plant extract) can treat cutaneous leishmaniasis, an infection causing skin ulcers. It compares arnica to a standard injected treatment and looks at how well each works and how safe they are.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 12 years+ - NCT07487350Recruiting
Recurrent leishmaniasis in people with HIV
This study looks at better ways to treat visceral leishmaniasis (a serious parasitic infection) when it comes back in people who also have HIV. It may help find a plan that works longer and reduces the chance of relapse.
GonderAges 18 years+ - NCT00344188Recruiting
Study of Leishmania infections
This trial studies people with Leishmania infections (a parasitic disease often from sand fly bites). Researchers aim to better understand and treat the infection, and you may benefit from expert care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–100 - NCT05602610Recruiting
Predicting relapse risk after visceral leishmaniasis
This study looks at a prognostic score to predict whether visceral leishmaniasis (VL) will come back after treatment. If you qualify, your information may help doctors estimate relapse risk and plan follow-up more safely.
GonderAges 12 years+ - NCT06514560Recruiting
Optimizing miltefosine treatment for leishmaniasis patients
This trial tests how well miltefosine works for people with leishmaniasis, a skin infection from a parasite. It aims to find the best way to use this medicine to help patients get better.
Addis AbabaAges 2 years+ - NCT07358910Recruiting
Tracking infectious diseases in communities
This study looks at how infections spread in villages in Cambodia. If you live in a participating village, you might help us understand and prevent disease outbreaks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for leishmaniasis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting leishmaniasis 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 leishmaniasis 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 leishmaniasis 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.
