Study blood clot cell activity in people with a heart pump
This study looks at how your blood’s clot-forming cells (platelets) behave when you have a heart pump device placed (short-term or long-term). The results may help doctors better understand complications and how to manage them after implantation.
Milan, MIAges 18–75 - NCT04043897RecruitingPhase 2
Oral rifaximin for active microscopic colitis flare
This trial tests whether an oral antibiotic called rifaximin can improve symptoms during a microscopic colitis flare. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose colitis was confirmed by colon biopsy.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 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 - NCT04692675Recruiting
MRI study to track prostate cancer in active surveillance patients
This study uses special prostate MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes over time while you stay on active surveillance. It also looks at prostate tissue to understand your cancer’s genetics, which may help guide future decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04696081Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation treatment in people with active cancer
This trial studies atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in adults who have active cancer. It looks at people whose atrial fibrillation started after their cancer diagnosis or returned after cancer diagnosis.
Caen, NormandyAges 18 years+ - NCT04700579Recruiting
Study lung changes before and after treatment for active TB
This study looks at changes in the lungs and immune system before TB treatment and again after treatment. By sampling lung fluid and comparing it over time, researchers hope to learn signatures that reflect how TB responds to care.
Cape Town, Western CapeAges 18–60 - NCT04882904Recruiting
Tracking movement in people with ALS and healthy volunteers
This study continuously measures activity and movement in people with ALS and in control participants. It aims to better understand how muscle disease changes day-to-day function, which may help improve future monitoring or care.
Liège, LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT05264025RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fexofenadine for active rheumatoid arthritis
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether fexofenadine (an allergy medicine) can improve symptoms and inflammation in people with active rheumatoid arthritis. Participants may be assigned to different treatment groups, and the study looks at safety and early signs of benefit.
Banī SuwayfAges 18–60 - NCT05704647RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus relatlimab for melanoma in the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab plus relatlimab can shrink or control melanoma that has spread to the brain. It may help by boosting the immune system to attack the cancer, including melanoma in brain areas that can’t be treated with prior focused radiation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05793177Recruiting
Monitoring light movement after stroke rehabilitation
This study checks whether tracking sitting time and light activity after stroke is helpful for recovery during rehabilitation. You would be monitored for daily movement, and the researchers want to see how activity patterns relate to recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patient activation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 439 recruiting patient activation 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 patient activation 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 patient activation 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.
