Recruiting studies
- NCT05724836Recruiting
Carotid artery narrowing treatment follow-up at clinic
This study follows people who are getting a procedure for carotid artery narrowing at the clinic. It aims to learn about outcomes after these treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05462106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ACI-24.060 study for early Alzheimer’s in adults and Down syndrome
This Phase 1/2 study tests an Alzheimer’s treatment called ACI-24.060 to see if it affects the disease in people with early Alzheimer’s changes. It includes two groups: older adults with early symptoms and people with Down syndrome who also show Alzheimer’s-related changes on brain scans.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 35–85 - NCT05470023Recruiting
Imaging study of gum health and mouth biofilm
This study uses imaging to look at how healthy your gums are and how much “plaque/biofilm” is in your mouth. It may help researchers better understand gum health and how oral hygiene affects it.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05384132Recruiting
Dental gel trial with deep cleaning for gum disease
This study tests whether a new dental gel used along with deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) can improve periodontitis. If you qualify, you would receive standard gum treatment plus the study gel, then be followed over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT05122897Recruiting
Study of plaque biofilm on temporary implant crown rings
This study looks at how plaque-biofilm (a thin layer of germs that can stick to surfaces) forms on temporary parts of dental implant crowns. If you have dental implants and are healthy and stable with gum health, your care team may use specific temporary rings to study biofilm buildup.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT04036188RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin D and triamcinolone for plaque psoriasis
This early study tests whether taking vitamin D together with triamcinolone (a steroid used on skin) works better for plaque psoriasis than a standard approach. It aims to see if the combination helps clear psoriasis plaques and is safe.
Fairborn, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03753555RecruitingPhase 4
High-intensity statin treatment for certain stroke artery plaque cases
This trial tests whether a higher-dose statin can help after an ischemic stroke in people who have specific plaque patterns in brain blood vessels. It may help lower the risk of another stroke by targeting the artery plaque process.
ShenyangAges 18–80 - NCT03308773Enrolling by invitation
Prevention program for people at risk of type 2 diabetes
This trial looks at a personalized prevention approach for people who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It may help by targeting your specific health factors before diabetes starts.
Ages 18–100 - NCT03291652Recruiting
Imaging study of high-risk brain plaque in stroke
This study uses MRI and ultrasound to look closely at brain artery plaques that may release clots and cause stroke. It aims to better understand which plaque features signal higher “embolus” risk, which could guide future care.
Hong KongAges 30–85 - NCT02784210RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid treatment to reduce inflammation in active MS lesions
This Phase 2 study tests whether corticosteroid medicine can reduce inflammation at the edge of active multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques seen on MRI. It may help calm “hot” areas in the brain where MS activity is happening.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00950430Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Brain scan study for amyloid plaques in adults
This study uses brain imaging to look for amyloid plaques (abnormal protein deposits) as people age. It may help researchers better understand how these changes develop over time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30–100

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for plaque?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 179 recruiting plaque 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 plaque 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 plaque 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.
