Testing lab markers that may predict chemotherapy benefit
This pilot study looks at stomach (gastric) and upper stomach/cardia cancer to find lab “markers” that could predict whether chemotherapy before and after surgery will work better. If you qualify, your tumor or blood samples may be tested to understand who benefits most from treatment.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT02678884Recruiting
PET-CT scan study for head and neck cancer before radiotherapy
This study uses PET-CT scans (a type of imaging that highlights active cancer cells) in people with a specific kind of head and neck cancer. The goal is to see how well the first scan identifies tumors that should be checked again with a second scan, to better guide care with radiotherapy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02346396Recruiting
At-home brain stimulation trial for long-lasting nerve pain
This study tests a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the brain from home to help reduce chronic nerve pain. It focuses on people whose pain has not improved enough despite stable pain medicines.
BronAges 18–80 - NCT02932007RecruitingPhase 2
Chloroquine to treat ongoing atrial fibrillation symptoms
This trial tests whether chloroquine can reduce symptoms in people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat that lasts longer than a week. It will also closely monitor heart rhythm and safety, since the medicine can affect the heart and other organs.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02947971Recruiting
Test a pill-camera for viewing the esophagus in reflux patients
This study checks whether a small pill-camera (a capsule) can take clear pictures of the esophagus in people with reflux-related conditions. It may help doctors better see inflammation or narrowing so they can guide treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 14–85 - NCT03312686Recruiting
Proton pump medicine effect on esophagus in eosinophilia
This pilot study looks at how proton pump inhibitor medicines (acid reducers) change the flexibility of the esophagus in people who have eosinophilia on esophagus biopsy. It may help doctors understand whether acid control could improve esophagus function in this condition.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–65 - NCT07124520Recruiting
Lingual strength training after tongue cancer surgery
This study tests if using a device to exercise your tongue after partial tongue removal helps you recover tongue strength and function better than standard care. It is for people having their first surgery for oral tongue cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07674927Recruiting
Rhythmic music to improve walking after spinal cord injury

Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06488638Recruiting
Beetroot juice supplement for lung fibrosis
This trial tests whether a beetroot juice drink (rich in nitrates) can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis breathe better and exercise more. It's a small pilot study to see if it's safe and worth studying further.

Imaging dye to help see brain tumors during surgery
This study tests a special dye (panitumumab-IRDye800) that helps surgeons see brain lesions more clearly during surgery. The dye attaches to a protein on cancer cells and lights up under a special camera, which may help remove more tumor safely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07500480Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pilot study?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 507 recruiting pilot study 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 pilot study 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 pilot study 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.
