GLP-1 treatment to slow small blood-vessel brain damage
This Phase 2 study tests whether a GLP-1–like medicine can slow worsening “small vessel” disease changes in the brain and related walking and thinking problems. It aims to see if the treatment can prevent progression in people who already show early brain changes on MRI.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 55–80 - NCT07466420Recruiting
Quercetin for fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether taking quercetin, a natural supplement, can help people with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (a group of conditions that cause scarring in the lungs). If you have been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or another fibrotic ILD and are on standard treatments, you may be able to join.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT00574327Recruiting
Barrett’s and reflux registry at the Kansas City VA
This study follows people with confirmed Barrett’s esophagus (with or without concerning cell changes) and people who have reflux symptoms, to better understand how these conditions progress. It may help by building a Barrett’s registry so doctors can learn which factors predict worsening over time.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07619560Recruiting
Probiotic Cocktail to Slow Early Parkinson's Disease
This study tests whether a special blend of probiotics (good bacteria), an amino acid called tryptophan, and branched-chain amino acids can help slow the progression of early-stage Parkinson's disease. The idea is that these supplements may work through your gut bacteria to help protect your brain.
TaipeiAges 30–85 - NCT04819217Recruiting
Probiotics and a toxin binder to slow chronic kidney disease
This trial studies an oral product (a “uremic toxin” absorber) plus probiotics to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. It may help by lowering harmful gut-related substances that can build up when kidney function is reduced.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for progressive disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 200 recruiting progressive disease 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 progressive disease 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 progressive disease 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.
