Taipei, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07587242RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Therapy for DMD with Exon 44 Mutations
This study tests whether a new medicine called AOC 1044 (delpacibart zotadirsen) can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have a specific genetic mutation. The medicine works by helping the body skip a damaged part of the gene to make a functional protein.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 7–16 - NCT07209566Recruiting
Muscles, nerves, and period pain in women
This study looks at how your muscles and nervous system relate to period pain. It compares women with and without painful periods to understand why some have more pain.
Azusa, CaliforniaAges 18–35 - NCT05905146Recruiting

Study of genetics and causes of systemic juvenile arthritis and Still's disease
This study aims to learn more about the causes and genetics of two related inflammatory conditions: systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) in children and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) in adults. By studying patients and healthy volunteers, researchers hope to understand these diseases better and find better ways to treat them.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal system?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 23 recruiting musculoskeletal system 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 system 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 system 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.
