MRI vs. TURBT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study compares two ways to check if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer: an MRI scan (mpMRI) versus a standard surgery called TURBT (where a small tool removes a sample of the tumor). The goal is to see if the MRI can be as accurate as the surgery, so future patients might avoid an extra procedure.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07649356Recruiting

Predicting muscle weakness in ICU patients with urine test
This study checks if a urine test and muscle measurements can help predict muscle weakness in critically ill patients. It aims to find an easier way to identify who might get weaker in the ICU.

Fascial vs muscle techniques for sacroiliac joint pain
This study compares two hands-on treatments for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and hip pain. It aims to see which approach better reduces pain, improves movement, and helps with daily activities.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–45 - NCT07721766Recruiting
How muscle type affects strength training results
This study looks at how your muscle's natural energy use affects how well it grows with weight training. It may help you understand your own response to exercise.

Rutin plus immunotherapy and chemo before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of the natural supplement rutin, an immunotherapy (tislelizumab), and two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and cisplatin) before surgery for bladder cancer that didn't respond to initial chemo. It aims to see if this mix can shrink tumors better.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06108492RecruitingPhase 1
A new bladder cancer drug given directly into the bladder
This study tests a new drug, SHR-2005, given directly into the bladder through a catheter. It is for people with intermediate- or high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle, and aims to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07417462Recruiting
Pain relief after heart surgery to help you recover faster
This trial tests a combination of pain medicines given during cardiac surgery to reduce pain and speed up recovery. It may help patients who are having a first-time bypass surgery through a standard breastbone incision.

Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–45 - NCT07595341Enrolling by invitation
Breathing Training for Competitive Swimmers
This study tests whether a special breathing-exercise program can improve how well swimmers' lungs work and their swimming performance. Researchers will teach swimmers techniques to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and measure how it affects their ability to swim.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07513142Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Platelet-Rich Plasma vs. Steroids for Thigh Muscle Injuries
This study compares two injection treatments for thigh muscle injuries in young athletes: platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which uses your own blood cells to promote healing, versus corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation. The goal is to see which works better to get you back to sports.

- 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.
