Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07763002Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for elite male volleyball players
This trial tests a breathing muscle exercise to see if it can improve performance in elite volleyball players. It looks at how this training affects breathing and athletic ability.

Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18 years+ - NCT07475806RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing drug combo for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to see if they can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer avoid removing their bladder. The drugs are given before the standard surgery to possibly shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07757633Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for urine leaks in women's rugby players
This study tests a pelvic floor muscle training program to improve bladder control and muscle strength in female rugby players. If you leak urine during activity, this could help you manage it while staying active.
GranadaAges 18–45 - NCT06770582RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to radiation for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to radiation therapy works as well as or better than the usual chemotherapy given with radiation for a type of bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle. It is for people whose cancer came back or has high-risk features and who would otherwise need to have their bladder removed.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07756437Recruiting
Blood test for detecting bladder cancer DNA
This study is testing a simple blood test that looks for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to see if it can accurately detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer or upper tract urothelial cancer.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06666881Recruiting
Exercise training for head and neck cancer patients
This trial studies if exercise training can improve outcomes for people with head and neck squamous cell cancer who need chemotherapy and radiation. It uses body scans to see if muscle changes from exercise are linked to better prognosis.
New Taipei CityAges 20–80 - NCT06815367Recruiting
Compression vs Blood Flow Restriction for Muscle Recovery
This study compares two methods to help muscles recover after exercise: pneumatic compression (like a gentle massage sleeve) versus blood flow restriction (using a cuff). It aims to find which works better for healthy, active young adults.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–30 - NCT06809140RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to treat bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle of the bladder. The goal is to shrink or eliminate the cancer so that surgery to remove the bladder may not be needed.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758791Enrolling by invitation
Breathing, balance, and walking after stroke
This study looks at how breathing muscle function relates to balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help find new ways to improve recovery.
Istanbul, BüyükçekmeceAges 18–80 - NCT06727695Recruiting
BioStrength training for muscle strength and satisfaction
This study tests a special strength training program called BioStrength to see if it improves muscle strength and overall satisfaction in healthy adults. The program lasts 12 weeks and is for people who are new to strength training.
Leibnitz, Styria, StyriaAges 30–65 - NCT06727643Enrolling by invitation
Tape types for better core strength in young adults
This study compares two types of tape (flexible and rigid) applied to the back to see which one improves core muscle strength more in healthy young adults. It's a short-term test to help understand how tape might support better movement or exercise.
Kırşehir, CentreAges 18–25 - NCT06671288Recruiting
Balloon exercises for smokers with mild COPD
This trial tests if blowing up balloons while activating your core muscles can help smokers with mild breathing problems. You would do simple exercises to improve your lung function and breathing.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–59 - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07750470Recruiting
Pet scan to guide treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to see how far your bladder cancer has spread. The results may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
FerraraAges 18 years+ - NCT07483970RecruitingPhase 1
JL19001 alone or with BCG for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called JL19001, given alone or with BCG (a standard bladder cancer treatment), for people with high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the bladder muscle. The goal is to see if it can help prevent the cancer from coming back or getting worse.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07579195RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Consolidation therapy after EV + pembro in bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy or bladder-removal surgery (consolidation) after EV + pembrolizumab helps control muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has spread. It is for people whose cancer responded to the initial drug combination.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06510374RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy vs. observation for intermediate risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec versus just watching and waiting (observation) for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. The goal is to see if the gene therapy can help keep the cancer from coming back.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06901700Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,153 recruiting muscle 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 muscle 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 muscle 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.
