Recruiting studies
- NCT01460264Enrolling by invitation
A heart-and-lung health study following adults over time
This study follows adults with heart-and-lung health information over time to understand how these conditions change. It may help researchers find patterns that could guide better care in the future.
LundAges 45–75 - NCT01852370Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant plan for immune system disorders
This early-phase study tests a step-by-step transplant approach: first replacing the lungs, then doing a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant to treat certain immune deficiency diseases. It may help people whose immune problem has led to severe, end-stage lung disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–45 - NCT01536522Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Study of asthma inflammation and diet effects
This early-phase study looks at how asthma-related inflammation works and whether a diet-related approach could help. It may be most relevant if you have confirmed asthma and can follow the study’s diet requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT02095808Recruiting
Testing blood and body markers in lung and chest cancers
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the body (often in blood or samples), in people with lung or other chest cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve how they’re diagnosed or tracked.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00807482Recruiting
Study of lung disease causes in primary ciliary dyskinesia
This study looks at how primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD—a lifelong problem with tiny lung “sweepers”) affects the lungs. You may be able to join if you strongly seem to have PCD based on symptoms, or if you’re a healthy person with a close family member who has confirmed PCD.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT00991094Recruiting
Study follow-up after proton radiation treatment
This study collects information about both short-term and long-term side effects in people who receive proton radiation. It may help doctors better understand what happens to normal tissues over time and improve follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00258583Recruiting
ILD patient registry at UPMC Simmons Center
This study is a registry that collects information from adults with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who are seeking care at the UPMC Simmons Center. It helps the center learn about ILD and improve future treatment planning.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00055172Recruiting
Understanding Genetic Causes of Immune System Disorders
This research study investigates why some people have weak or poorly functioning immune systems. By studying you and your relatives, researchers hope to identify genetic factors that cause these conditions and eventually develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–99 years - NCT00451022Recruiting
Follow-up study for people who received gene-carrying viral vaccines
This is a follow-up study for adults who previously received certain viral vaccines that carry genes (such as vaccinia or fowlpox) through NCI trials or partner sites. The goal is to store and use your leftover samples for future research that may help doctors understand these treatments better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00001529Recruiting
Bone marrow cell selection method study for transplants
This study tests improved ways to select and collect bone marrow cells from healthy donors for use in transplants. Researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to donate cells that may help people who need bone marrow transplants.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT00442195Recruiting
Sample collection study in healthy volunteers
This study collects small samples of blood and cells from the inside of your mouth. Depending on your age, it may also collect bone marrow and skin (for research lab testing). It’s mainly about research planning and analysis rather than treating a disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - NCT00923507Recruiting
Study of blood cancers’ natural course and next treatment needs
This study follows people with certain slow-growing blood cancers (CLL/SLL, LPL/WM, and related conditions) to understand how they progress and what leads to needing treatment. It may help doctors predict changes over time and plan care more effectively.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT00071045Enrolling by invitation
Tissue Collection From Cancer and Blood Disorder Patients
This study collects tissue samples from patients with cancer or blood disorders, and from their matching family members who might donate stem cells for transplant. The samples help researchers understand these diseases and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT01174108RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant with donor T-cells for severe bone marrow failure
This Phase 2 study tests a specific type of donor stem cell transplant for severe bone marrow failure conditions, aiming to improve cure rates while reducing transplant risks. It includes people with diseases like severe aplastic anemia and certain bone marrow disorders, especially when standard transplant plans feel too risky.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 4–80 - NCT00353782Recruiting
Studying causes and course of lipid disorders
This study looks at the causes and natural history of different types of lipid disorders (abnormal cholesterol and fat levels in the blood). It aims to understand why these conditions happen and how they affect health over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT00001975Recruiting
Skin Tumors and Tuberous Sclerosis Study
This study looks at skin growths that develop in people with tuberous sclerosis (a genetic condition affecting multiple organs). Researchers want to understand these skin changes better and may test new treatments to help manage them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT00034216Recruiting
Blood Collection Study for Cancer Patients and Healthy Volunteers
This study collects blood samples from people with cancer and healthy volunteers to help researchers understand cancer better. Your blood will be used for laboratory studies that may improve future cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00047996Enrolling by invitation
Blood Donation Study for Blood Vessel Research
This study collects blood and urine samples from adults to help researchers understand diseases affecting blood vessels. Your donation helps scientists develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00001620Enrolling by invitation
NIH screening to see which blood studies fit you
This study is a general screening step at the NIH Clinical Center to check whether you might qualify for other NHLBI research protocols. It helps match you (or a donor/healthy volunteer) to the right study and confirms you can consent to participate.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT00001823Recruiting
Surgery Branch Screening for Cancer Treatment Studies
This is a screening evaluation to see if you might be eligible for cancer treatment research studies at the National Cancer Institute's Surgery Branch. Doctors will review your medical history, imaging, and test results to determine which clinical trials might be right for you.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00081523Recruiting
Understanding How Sickle Cell Disease Develops Over Time
This research study follows people with sickle cell disease to learn how the condition affects their health over many years. By studying patients regularly, researchers hope to better understand the disease and improve care.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2–90 - NCT01143454Recruiting
Study unusual heart conditions and related genetic traits
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,833 recruiting lung 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 lung 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 lung 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.
