Recruiting studies
- NCT03753412Recruiting
Rehab program for adults after ICU recovery on ECMO
This trial looks at a recovery and rehabilitation approach for adults who were very sick and needed a machine called ECMO to support breathing and heart function. It may help people regain strength and function after a severe ICU illness.

Testing an oxygen sensor during exercise in muscle disease
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT04678635Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for autoimmune muscle disease
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can help people with systemic autoimmune muscle diseases. It may improve symptoms by changing how the brain and muscles communicate.

Blood and tissue tests to find markers in muscle and skin disease
This study looks for blood and tissue “biomarkers” (measurable clues in samples) to help diagnose and predict outcomes in inflammatory muscle diseases and systemic sclerosis (a skin/organ condition). If you’re being evaluated for myopathy or early scleroderma, it may help doctors sort out the cause and follow your health more closely.

Anniston, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT07021820Recruiting
New light-based imaging for centronuclear myopathy
This study tests a new type of imaging that uses light and sound to look at muscles in people with centronuclear myopathy. It may help doctors see muscle changes more clearly. It does not involve any treatment or medicine.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 2 years+ - NCT07086404RecruitingEarly Phase 1
GC012F injection for stubborn inflammatory muscle disease
This trial tests a new cell therapy (GC012F) for people with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) that hasn't responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if this treatment can help control muscle inflammation and weakness.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07138963Recruiting
Gene study in children with congenital muscle weakness
This study looks at how genes affect symptoms in children with congenital myopathies or congenital muscular dystrophies. It may help doctors better understand these conditions.
CairoAges 1–18 - NCT07274267Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for muscle inflammation patients
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help people with inflammatory myopathy. You would learn and practice breathing techniques using a device that strengthens your breathing muscles.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07331272RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cells for lupus and myositis
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (CAR T-cells) targeted at a marker called CD19. It is for people whose lupus or myositis has not been controlled by other treatments.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT07374107Recruiting
Patient insights for shaping myositis research
This study asks people with autoimmune muscle diseases (myositis) and their caregivers to share their experiences and insights. By joining, you help shape better research and care for myositis.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 7 years+ - NCT07415837Recruiting
Studying a molecule in muscle diseases and healthy people
This study looks at a molecule called miR-1 in the blood to see if it can help understand muscle diseases. Researchers will compare levels in people with certain muscle conditions and in healthy volunteers.
Clermont-FerrandAges 2 years+ - NCT07450690Recruiting
Exercise training for muscle function in mitochondrial myopathy
This study tests whether exercise training can improve muscle function in adults with mitochondrial myopathy, a condition that affects how muscles produce energy. Participants will follow an exercise program to see if it helps their muscle strength and daily activities.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06581146Recruiting
Liver health study for boys with XLMTM
This study looks at how the liver works in boys with a serious muscle condition called XLMTM. It checks whether their liver is healthy, which may help doctors better understand the condition and guide future treatments.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07580365Recruiting
Virtual Reality Training for Kids With Muscle Diseases
This study tests whether a virtual reality-based exercise program can help children and teens with diagnosed muscle diseases improve their strength and function. Participants use a special exercise bike while wearing a VR headset to make training more engaging.

Ublituximab for antibody-positive IMNM
This study tests an investigational medication called ublituximab (an infusion) for people with a rare autoimmune muscle disease called IMNM. It aims to reduce muscle weakness and damage by targeting specific immune cells (B cells). To join, you need a recent diagnosis (within 1 year), specific antibodies, and be on limited other medications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myopathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 123 recruiting myopathy 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 myopathy 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 myopathy 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.
