Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT04191551Recruiting
Study of stomach precancer conditions during endoscopy
This study looks at people with certain stomach symptoms or precancer risk factors when they get a camera test of the upper digestive tract (endoscopy). The goal is to learn how to better detect and evaluate stomach precancer conditions early, which may help guide treatment or follow-up.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 35–84 - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT04222062RecruitingPhase 2
Compare Gliadel implant versus focused brain radiation
This Phase 2 study compares two ways to treat brain metastases: a Gliadel wafer placed during planned surgery versus focused stereotactic radiosurgery. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people with a limited number of brain tumor spots.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04234048RecruitingPhase 1
ST-001 trial for stubborn T-cell lymphoma that came back
This Phase 1 trial tests ST-001, an experimental treatment, for T-cell lymphomas that have returned or did not respond to prior therapy. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink or control the lymphoma.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04240522Recruiting
Long-term study of eczema and related allergies
This observational study follows people with eczema (atopic dermatitis) and sometimes related allergies over time, even if they keep their usual medical treatments. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions change and what factors relate to symptoms.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 1–85 - NCT04247685Recruiting
MRI-safe heart rhythm test in people with atrial fibrillation
This trial checks whether a specific MRI-safe 12-lead heart recording (ECG) works correctly during MRI scans. It may help improve how doctors monitor heart rhythm while imaging, especially for people with atrial fibrillation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT04254861Recruiting
Platelet treatment for deep gum bone defects
This trial studies an “autologous platelet concentrate” (a gel made from your own blood) to help heal deep bone defects caused by periodontitis. It’s meant for adults with specific measurements in one or more gum pockets and bone areas after recent non-surgical gum treatment.
LondonAges 25–80 - NCT04258488RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner pill vs warfarin after mechanical aortic valve
This study compares a blood thinner pill (a factor Xa inhibitor) with warfarin (vitamin K antagonist) in people who have had a mechanical aortic valve replacement. It looks at which option works better and is safer over the long term.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT04271033Recruiting
MicroNet-covered stent to prevent stroke in carotid procedures
This study tests a special stent (a small mesh tube) that may help prevent stroke during a carotid revascularization procedure. It’s for people with narrowing in the carotid artery, either recently symptomatic or very high-grade even without symptoms.
Krakow, MaloplskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04271644RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T treatment targeting BCMA for hard-to-treat myeloma
This Phase 1/2 study tests a BCMA-targeting CAR-T cell therapy for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or related plasma cell diseases. It may help by using your own immune cells, engineered to recognize a specific target on cancer cells.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT04286399RecruitingPhase 4
Prevention trial for heart outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes
This Phase 4 trial studies an approach to help prevent heart problems in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at higher heart risk. It may help reduce future cardiovascular events by testing medications for safety and benefit in this group.
SingaporeAges 40 years+ - NCT04299828Recruiting
Study of inflammation activity during complex heart surgery
This study measures how active white blood cells and inflammation are during complex heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors better understand what triggers inflammation during surgery and how to improve care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04312633Recruiting
Testing a new throat biopsy mapping method for Barrett’s disease
This study follows people for 5 years to see how well a new biopsy-mapping test (WATS3D) works during routine upper endoscopy. It may help doctors find Barrett’s esophagus changes earlier and better guide follow-up after treatment.
Bethpage, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04333706RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sarilumab plus capecitabine for certain breast cancers
This trial studies whether adding sarilumab to capecitabine can shrink or control metastatic or high-risk breast cancer that lacks HER2 and is either triple-negative or hormone-resistant. It aims to find a safe dose first, then look at how well the treatment works compared with historical results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04375631RecruitingPhase 1
Study of chemo plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a specific chemotherapy plan followed by a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML), certain myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by using donor stem cells to rebuild the bone marrow after intensive cancer treatment, in people who are not responding well to standard therapies.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04388332Recruiting
Neck surgery compares two bone graft materials
This study compares two materials used during neck surgery for degenerative disc disease: donor bone (structural allograft) versus a titanium cage (Tritanium C). It aims to see which option works better for healing the fused neck bones and improving symptoms.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT04388943Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal diseases or conditions?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 4,063 recruiting musculoskeletal diseases or conditions 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 musculoskeletal diseases or conditions 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 musculoskeletal diseases or conditions 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.
