Recruiting studies
- NCT05505357Recruiting
Skip breast surgery after excellent MRI response
This trial tests whether some women with HER2-positive breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery if their tumor nearly disappears after chemotherapy. It uses MRI and biopsy results to find people most likely to have no remaining cancer (pCR).
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT07202819Recruiting
Chemotherapy and MRI before bladder surgery
This study looks at how well MRI scans can detect bladder cancer after chemotherapy, before surgery to remove the bladder. It may help doctors know if the chemo is working.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT04797039Recruiting
MRI-guided freezing treatment for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies a treatment where doctors use MRI pictures to guide freezing of a prostate tumor. It may help men with smaller, well-placed prostate cancers who cannot or do not want surgery or radiation right now.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30–100 - NCT05057403Recruiting
Imaging study for adults with type 2 diabetes in the UK
This study uses medical scans (MRI) to better understand diabetes in the body, including the eyes, and how it may change over time. It may help improve how diabetes is monitored, especially for people with diabetic eye disease.
Didcot, OxfordshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04989751Enrolling by invitation
Study of gene patterns in limb-girdle muscle weakness
This study looks at how specific gene changes relate to the pattern of muscle weakness in people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve future care.
ShanghaiAges 10 years+ - NCT04761393Recruiting
Testing a lung protein in COPD sputum samples
This study looks at a lung protein called MMP12 in sputum (mucus) to better understand COPD. It may help researchers learn which COPD changes are linked to disease severity and lung damage.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 40–85 - NCT04662658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a special MRI gas scan of healthy lungs
This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a “hyperpolarized” gas to look at how well the lungs are working. It’s likely looking for safe imaging results and clear lung measurements in people without lung disease.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04908709Recruiting
MRI-guided proton therapy for high-grade brain tumors in children
This study looks at how metabolism in a child’s brain tumor changes during proton therapy, using special MRI scans. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and tailor care for pediatric high-grade gliomas.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04142606Recruiting
MRI study in the middle of pregnancy
This study tests whether doing an MRI during a specific window of pregnancy is safe and useful. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and your pregnancy is between 16 and 36 weeks.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05508126Recruiting
MRI and special CT scans to study stomach cancer
This trial studies how two types of scans—multi-parameter MRI and special CT (dual-energy CT)—look in people with confirmed stomach cancer before surgery. It may help doctors better understand the cancer and improve planning based on scan features.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT02535702Recruiting
Brain scan study to measure addiction biology
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and tasks to better understand what’s happening in the brain in addiction. It may help researchers improve how addiction is studied and measured using brain-based methods.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02421380Recruiting
Tests how repeatable a special MRI scan is for tumors
This study checks whether a specialized MRI using injected “hyperpolarized pyruvate” gives consistent tumor images when repeated. It may help future patients by improving how reliably this scan can measure tumors.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 21–90 - NCT02914808Recruiting
Study for leg swelling caused by lymph or vein problems
This trial studies how to measure and possibly treat swelling in the legs caused by long-term lymph or vein blockage (primary or secondary lymphoedema, or PTS). It’s looking at people with one type of leg swelling in one leg, and it checks whether MRI scans can be used safely.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18–99 - NCT05604066Enrolling by invitation
MRI scan to study muscle pain stiffness in low back or leg
This study uses a special MRI scan (magnetic resonance elastography) to measure how stiff muscles are in people with long-lasting low back or leg muscle pain. It may help researchers better understand myofascial pain—pain caused by tight, tender spots in muscle.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT01130545Recruiting
MRI testing of different scan methods in older adults
This study tests different MRI imaging techniques to improve how scans look and measure targets. You may be able to join with or without a contrast dye, and you’ll need to travel to the NIH for follow-up visits.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04285125Recruiting
MRI imaging test for suspected MVNT in adults
This study uses an advanced MRI to better describe a brain finding called MVNT (a specific type of abnormal blood vessel pattern in the brain). It aims to help doctors analyze MRI features more clearly, which may improve diagnosis and planning for care.
Bordeaux, BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04109131Recruiting
Study platform for brain metastases in solid cancers
This trial studies people with solid tumors that have spread to the brain (including the brain lining) to help researchers learn what works and how best to treat it. You may be asked for blood/tissue samples and a procedure to collect spinal fluid when brain metastases are diagnosed.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT03908931Recruiting
Study of knee cartilage repair results
This study looks at how well certain types of knee cartilage repair work, using clinical check-ins and imaging (scans). You may be able to help researchers understand which method restores knee surface cartilage best.
Le ChesnayAges 18 years+ - NCT04629469Recruiting
Two types of MRI scans in children
This study compares two MRI scan settings (a lower and higher magnetic field) in children to see how well they work for pediatric patients. It may help doctors choose the best MRI approach for kids without changing any care beyond the scan itself.
Kansas City, MissouriAges birth–22 years - NCT03746964Recruiting
MRI study of the heart’s aorta before planned surgery
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how the ascending aorta (a large blood vessel) moves and behaves before planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand the mechanics of an aortic aneurysm and improve future surgical planning.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT03758521Recruiting
Natural history study of SSADH deficiency in children and adults
This study tracks how SSADH deficiency (a genetic condition) affects health over time. There is no new drug being tested; instead, researchers collect medical history and perform certain optional scans/tests that can help describe disease patterns and future treatment needs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT03299179Recruiting
Female hormones and brain blood flow during MRI
This study checks how female hormones may change blood flow in the brain. You may be asked to undergo an MRI scan while hormone levels are assessed.
GhentAges 18–25 - NCT02382601Recruiting
Study of pregnancies with slow fetal growth
This study follows pregnancies where the baby appears smaller than expected on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand why this happens and how to monitor care over time.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–45 - NCT05301283RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation therapy before surgery for soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a personalized (“adaptive”) radiation plan before surgery for high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma that can be removed. It may help shrink the tumor and improve how well surgery can treat the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mri?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 943 recruiting mri 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 mri 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 mri 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.
