Recruiting studies
- NCT02844049Recruiting
Quality-of-life study for treatment-resistant OCD with DBS
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) helps people with long-term, treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and how it affects quality of life. It involves careful screening because it’s meant for OCD that has not responded to several medication and therapy attempts.

Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for AML, high-risk MDS, or blast CML
This trial tests a combination treatment (venetoclax plus several chemotherapy medicines) for people with AML, high-risk MDS, or CML that has progressed into a blast phase. It may help by killing leukemia-like blood cells and improving disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT02596490Recruiting
Couple meditation program for metastatic lung cancer and partners
This study tests whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their romantic partners cope better during treatment. It looks at the experience of both the patient and their partner, not just the patient alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02897700RecruitingPhase 1
Testing chemotherapy choices for early breast cancer after surgery
This Phase 1 study tests different chemotherapy approaches in people with breast cancer that has been surgically removed but is early stage. It aims to find a chemotherapy plan that’s safe and works well right after surgery.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT02686229Recruiting
Registry study for adults with suspected low-grade brain tumor
This study records health details about adults who may have a low-grade glioma (a slower-growing brain tumor) based on scan results. Researchers use these data to better understand disease patterns and outcomes, and help connect individual patients to future research.

Alcohol and drug effects on immunity in ICU breathing patients
This study looks at how alcohol and other drugs can affect the body’s immune system in people who are very sick in the ICU due to breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand immune changes during critical illness and respiratory failure.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT02486562Recruiting
Research network for people with multiple sclerosis
This study builds a patient-powered research network for people living with multiple sclerosis. It may help by gathering real-world information from patients to improve understanding of the disease over time.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT02390635RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI scans to find leukemia outside the bone marrow
This Phase 1 study uses special whole-body imaging scans (PET with CT, plus MRI) to look for signs of acute myeloid leukemia outside the bone marrow. It may help doctors better see where leukemia is and guide future care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02732860Recruiting
Test your tumor’s drug response using a lab model
This trial grows a lab model from your own tumor tissue (or resected tissue) to predict which drugs might work best. It’s meant to match investigational treatments to your specific tumor biology.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02890485Recruiting
Dry needling for knee pain with stair or squat pain
This study tests whether dry needling can reduce ongoing knee pain in people who feel pain around the kneecap when going up or down stairs, squatting, or running. You may be able to join if your knee pain has lasted at least 3 months and you’re referred to physical therapy.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–40 - NCT02772367Recruiting
Make heart muscle cells from blood or skin in breast cancer
This study grows heart muscle cells from your blood or skin to better understand why some people develop heart problems from HER2 cancer treatments. You may be helping researchers learn how to predict and prevent treatment-related heart damage.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02762175Recruiting
Track breathing airway changes after jaw surgery for sleep apnea
This study records how your upper airway changes on scans after a jaw surgery called MMA for obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). It also looks at how those changes relate to quality of life, which may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
BrugesAges Any age - NCT02133196RecruitingPhase 2
T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02549157Recruiting
Study of pelvic floor symptoms and patient reports
This study looks at people who come to the hospital with pelvic floor problems and asks about their symptoms directly. It may help researchers better understand these problems and improve care based on what patients report.
SwanseaAges 18 years+ - NCT02808260Recruiting
Tracking what predicts abnormal heart rhythms after pacemaker
This study looks for patterns that can predict an abnormal heart rhythm called SCAF in people who have a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to help doctors recognize risk earlier and respond sooner if it happens.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02812537Recruiting
Study of youth behavior after emergency visits for aggression
This study follows children and teens under 16 after they go to the emergency room for aggressive or unsafe behaviors such as violence, running away, or stealing. It aims to understand what happens next in their lives and how support might help.
BronAges Up to 16 years - NCT02829684Recruiting
Register for people with Prader-Willi syndrome
This is a patient registry that collects information about people with Prader-Willi syndrome. It may help researchers better understand the condition and plan future studies.
ToulouseAges Any age - NCT02379429Recruiting
Collecting bladder/urothelial cancer tissue for future research
This study looks at urothelial cancer (often bladder cancer) samples taken during diagnosis or standard treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease by using tissue that doctors already need to collect for care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02605421RecruitingPhase 2
High-risk neuroblastoma stem cell treatment after initial response
This Phase 2 study tests intensive treatment (high-dose “consolidation”) followed by rescue with your own stem cells for high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help patients keep the cancer from coming back after it has improved or stabilized from initial chemotherapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 30 years - NCT02138669Recruiting
Prescription cornea insert for keratoconus when vision worsens
This trial tests whether prescription inserts placed in the cornea can improve day-to-day vision for people with keratoconus whose vision is getting worse and who have few options left. You may be able to avoid or delay corneal transplant depending on your cornea shape and thickness.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02391051RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for low-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a focused form of radiation placed inside the prostate to treat only the cancer area in people with low-risk prostate cancer. It aims to control the cancer while limiting treatment to a smaller area.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT02798276Recruiting
Procedure to improve heart scar tissue in certain adults
This trial studies a surgical technique that moves fat tissue to help heal or improve areas of scar in the heart. It may help people whose heart muscle scarring can’t be treated with opening blocked arteries.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patient?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14,824 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.
