Sinus bone lift procedure for people with limited jaw bone
This pilot study tests a modified technique to add bone in the upper jaw area (the sinus floor) so dental implants may be possible. You may be considered if you have a small amount of remaining bone height and enough bone width, and you do not have certain infections or risk factors.
ViennaAges 18–100 - NCT05865093Recruiting
Check early vision changes in infants at risk for brain vision problems
This pilot study looks at early vision (what babies can see and how their eyes respond) in children who have risk factors for future “cerebral visual impairment,” meaning vision problems caused by the brain. It may help doctors spot issues earlier and better understand which early visual signs matter.
RomeAges 2 days–3 years - NCT04428515Recruiting
Photoacoustic scans for untreated head and neck cancer
This study tests a special imaging scan (photoacoustic imaging) to help doctors look at head and neck cancer before treatment. It’s for people who have not had first-line therapy yet and will be starting radiotherapy.

Transcatheter repair for leaky mitral valve in high-risk adults
This pilot study tests a newer catheter-based way to reduce leakage of the mitral valve in people who feel sick from mitral regurgitation but are considered too high-risk for standard surgery. If you fit the valve and heart anatomy needs, the study may help improve symptoms and valve function without open-heart surgery.

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–40 - 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+ - NCT06418113RecruitingPhase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pilot study?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 496 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.
