Recruiting studies
- NCT01517425Enrolling by invitation
Using blood stem cells to study heart disease traits
This study uses your blood to create special lab cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) to better understand heart-related differences between people with coronary artery disease and generally healthy older adults. It may help researchers learn what biological traits are linked to heart risk and how those traits work.

Tissue banking for research at St. Jude
This study collects, stores, and shares human tissue samples for future research at St. Jude. You or your family may be eligible if your institution has approved this process through their ethics board (IRB) and you (or a study leader) gave consent for tissue banking.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT01666080Recruiting
Second bone marrow transplant with gentler chemotherapy
This trial studies a “reduced intensity” second transplant using donated blood-forming cells, for people whose first transplant did not fully and reliably restart blood production. It aims to improve donor blood cell growth while using a less harsh conditioning approach.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 55 years - NCT01650311Recruiting
Study how serotonin signals work in inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at how the body’s serotonin system behaves in people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, compared with healthy people. It may help researchers understand disease biology and why symptoms can differ from person to person.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 19–85 - NCT00899626Recruiting
Collecting stool and tissue markers from people with bowel conditions
This study collects samples (like tissue and other body fluids) from people who are getting a colonoscopy or similar camera test. It aims to find “biomarkers,” which are measurable signals that may help doctors better understand or detect bowel problems such as colorectal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT00585572Enrolling by invitation
Wisconsin Brain Donor Program for research after death
This program collects donated brain tissue and related samples after death to help researchers study brain diseases. You may be eligible if you’re an approved family member of a specific study participant, or you meet certain health and consent requirements.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT00857922Recruiting
Neuroscience research repository for brain-related patients
This study collects information and/or tissue for a research library from people who have had neurosurgery and from certain family members. It helps researchers study brain, blood-vessel, injury, tumor, and related conditions.
Houston, TexasAges birth+ - NCT00106925Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people after stem cell transplant
This study follows people who are at least 3 years out from their first stem cell transplant to learn how they are doing long term. It may help improve future transplant care by tracking outcomes over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–80 - NCT00428987Recruiting
Study of body and behavior traits in weight groups
This study looks at how physical traits and everyday behaviors differ among people who are overweight, obese, or in the normal-weight range. It may help researchers better understand risk factors related to weight and health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00767312Enrolling by invitation
Study how HIV multiplies during HIV drug treatment
This study looks at how HIV continues to multiply (or stays suppressed) while you are taking antiretroviral therapy, using blood samples. It may help researchers better understand what HIV is doing during treatment and why some people experience changes like viral rebound.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT00071526Recruiting
How the body loses vitamin C in diabetes
This study looks at why people with diabetes may lose more vitamin C in their urine than people without diabetes. By understanding this difference, researchers hope to better understand how diabetes affects the body's nutrition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01186913Enrolling by invitation
Natural history study for severe combined immune deficiency (SCID)
This study follows children and adults with SCID and related immune disorders to understand how the illness behaves over time. It also helps researchers learn which testing results and genetic types of SCID match different treatment plans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - 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 - NCT00001316Recruiting
Study viral levels in blood and lymph node tissue with HIV
This study measures how much HIV is in your blood and lymph node tissue. If you qualify, you would also allow blood and other tests (including genetic and hepatitis screening), which may help researchers better understand how HIV affects the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00605878Recruiting
Skin microbiome study in healthy people and eczema patients
This study looks at the types of germs on the skin (skin microbiome) in healthy people and people with skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers collect skin samples to understand how skin germs differ and how that may relate to skin health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT00114647Recruiting
Blood draw to collect plasma or white blood cells for lab tests
This trial uses a special blood-removal procedure called apheresis to collect either plasma or white blood cells for laboratory research. It may help scientists understand infection or immune-related processes by providing specific blood components for study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00471250Recruiting
Lung fluid and tissue sample collection for research
This study collects samples from your lungs and airways to help researchers better understand lung diseases. It is not a treatment study, but your participation could help improve future care for people with lung conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT00090662Recruiting
Healthy volunteer sample collection for research
This study collects blood, urine, stool, and other samples from healthy people to help researchers learn more about diseases and develop better treatments. If you join, you might donate samples like blood or, in some cases, bone marrow or skin, depending on your health and the study's needs.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT00943514Recruiting
Study of bronchiectasis and why infections keep coming back
This study follows children (age 5+) and adults with bronchiectasis or ongoing/repeated lung infections to learn what makes infections more likely. It mainly looks at non–cystic fibrosis causes, but may include some related conditions to compare differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT00895271Enrolling by invitation
Making lab cell lines from skin biopsies in immune disorders

Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–85 - NCT00039689Recruiting
Blood collection study for newly diagnosed HIV research
This research study collects blood cells from people recently diagnosed with HIV who haven't started HIV medicines yet. Researchers use these samples to understand how HIV affects the immune system and develop better treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal diseases or conditions?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 4,021 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.
