BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04913311Recruiting
Testing markers to predict lung inflammation after lung cancer treatment
This study looks for early “predictive markers” to tell who is most likely to develop lung inflammation after standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner and tailor care, using additional monitoring during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04915027Recruiting

Study of daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for plasmablastic lymphoma
This trial tests how well a combination of daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone works in people with plasmablastic lymphoma that has returned or did not respond to prior treatment. It aims to shrink measurable tumors and improve outcomes, including for some people living with HIV.
AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT04916197RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine sedation after stroke clot removal
This Phase 4 study tests whether using a specific calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) for a longer period after a successful clot-removal procedure helps people do better in the long term. It may help improve outcomes after ischemic stroke where the clot is successfully treated.

This study looks at how to improve care for adults with certain cancers who live in rural areas and may face access problems. It mainly focuses on people receiving cancer treatment at specific Colorado-area hospitals, and who are uninsured or underinsured.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT04917419Recruiting
Light therapy and talk therapy for sleep issues in bipolar disorder
This trial tests whether bright light therapy (luminotherapy) and/or structured education and coaching (psychoeducation) can improve sleep and daily body rhythm in people with bipolar disorder. It may help if your bipolar symptoms come with troublesome sleeping patterns.
PoitiersAges 18–65 - NCT04917484RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-precision PRRT dosing versus standard dosing for NEN
This Phase 2 study compares a more personalized (precision) radiation dose plan to the standard dose plan using Lu-177-DOTATOC for people with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) that have worsened or caused major symptoms despite usual treatments. The goal is to see if better planning can improve treatment delivery while staying safe.
Aarhus, Palle Juul-Jensens BoulevardAges 18 years+ - NCT04918524Recruiting
Pregnancy outcomes in women with certain autoimmune conditions
This study looks at the typical pregnancy course and outcomes for women with APS or UCTD, two autoimmune-related conditions. It also checks how these conditions and treatments may affect pregnancy, so doctors can better plan care.
Jinan, ShandongAges 20–45 - NCT04920565Recruiting
Hemoperfusion with Polymyxin B for septic shock after heart surgery
This trial studies a blood-filter treatment (hemoperfusion with Polymyxin B) to reduce harmful substances in the blood for people who develop septic shock after heart surgery. It may help by lowering inflammation and improving safety, but it also requires meeting specific signs of severe infection and blood/bleeding conditions.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT04921137RecruitingPhase 4
Testing benefits and side effects of hormone therapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at the potential harms and benefits of hormone (endocrine) therapy in people age 70 and older with early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer. It may help doctors choose which hormone treatment approach is safest and most helpful for older patients.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 70 years+ - NCT04921527RecruitingPhase 3
Chiauranib with weekly paclitaxel for tough ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether chiauranib combined with weekly paclitaxel can shrink recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that did not respond to platinum chemotherapy. It is designed for people who have limited treatment options after platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory disease.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–70 - NCT04922567RecruitingPhase 2
Lenalidomide plus CHOP versus CHOP for untreated PTCL
This Phase 2 trial compares two chemotherapy approaches—adding lenalidomide to CHOP versus CHOP alone—for people with untreated peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). The goal is to see if the added medicine improves response and safety.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patient?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14,850 recruiting patient 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 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 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.
