Recruiting studies
- NCT06832514RecruitingPhase 4
Gender and immune response to meningitis B vaccine
This study tests how well the meningitis B vaccine works in transgender and cisgender people. It aims to understand if sex and gender affect immune responses.
GhentAges 18–50 - NCT06584864Recruiting
Ultrasound for better lumbar puncture in children
This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound (a quick, painless scan) helps doctors perform a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) more easily and safely in children. It may help children who need this procedure.
WarsawAges Up to 18 years - NCT06735833Recruiting
Testing embolization for chronic migraines
This study tests a procedure called MMA embolization (blocking a small artery in the head) to see if it can reduce migraine attacks in people with chronic, hard-to-treat migraines.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06042140Recruiting
Umbilical cord patch for spina bifida repair before birth
This study tests whether a patch made from donated umbilical cord can help repair spina bifida in the womb using a minimally invasive fetoscopic approach. If successful, it may reduce the need for more invasive open fetal surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06482463Recruiting
D-lactate test for meningitis in patients with a brain drain
This study checks if a substance called D-lactate in the fluid around your brain can help diagnose meningitis that develops in the hospital after a brain drain (ventriculostomy). It aims to improve diagnosis.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06431685RecruitingPhase 1
Brain radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for lung cancer spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation to the whole brain, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy given through a lumbar puncture. It is for people with lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and has not responded to standard treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06347796Recruiting
Embolization vs surgery for chronic subdural hematoma
This trial compares a newer, less invasive treatment (embolization) with traditional surgery to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–90 - NCT06163547Recruiting
Brain artery treatment for chronic subdural hematoma
This study tests a new way to treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) by using a very thin tube to seal off a small artery inside the head. This may help the blood clot shrink without needing a traditional surgery.
GenevaAges 18–100 - NCT06181994Recruiting
Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma
This study looks at a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization, which blocks blood flow to the lining of the brain to help treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain surface). The goal is to see how well this procedure works for adults.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06146010Recruiting
German leptomeningeal disease registry study
This study collects information from people with leptomeningeal disease, a condition where cancer spreads to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. By joining, you help researchers learn more about this disease and how it affects people.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT05393492Recruiting
Emotion and behavior skills after a brain injury
This study tests a structured program to help people after a brain injury manage emotions and challenging behaviors, and to reduce distress for them and their families. If you (or your family member) can participate safely and understand the activities in French, you may be invited to join a group and assessments.
Illkirch-GraffenstadenAges 18 years+ - NCT03945448RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Single-dose antifungal for people with HIV and positive cryptococcal blood test
This study tests whether a one-time antifungal treatment can help people with HIV who have a positive cryptococcal antigen blood test but no symptoms. It may lower the chance that this infection becomes a serious illness affecting the brain.
KampalaAges 15 years+ - NCT00001352Recruiting
Understanding Why Some People Get Fungal Infections
This study looks at genetic reasons why some people are susceptible to a serious fungal infection called cryptococcosis. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform genetic testing to understand the immune system differences that make certain individuals more vulnerable to this infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT00867269Recruiting
Study of causes and progression of low CD4 blood cells
This study looks for what causes and how idiopathic low CD4 cells happen over time, using blood and tissue samples. It may help doctors learn why this occurs and how to better track people with it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for meningitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 62 recruiting meningitis 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 meningitis 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 meningitis 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.
