Blood test to guide early stopping of prostate cancer therapy
This trial uses a blood test to measure tumor DNA and see if men with advanced prostate cancer can safely stop treatment with a drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 earlier than usual, or switch to chemotherapy. It may help reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07696871RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Resistance training for patellar tendon pain
This study tests whether resistance training can improve the health of the patellar tendon in people with patellar tendinopathy (pain at the knee cap). It may help you recover strength and reduce pain over time.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–50 - NCT07673913Recruiting
Blood markers and brain stimulation for hard-to-treat depression
This study is testing whether a new type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help people with treatment-resistant depression (depression that hasn't improved with standard medicines). It also looks at certain blood markers to see if they can predict how well someone will respond to this treatment.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–55 - NCT07672834Recruiting
Resistance band training for leg strength in older adults
This study tests whether using simple elastic resistance bands can help improve leg muscle strength in older adults who have weak leg muscles. It involves supervised training sessions and may help you move better and feel stronger.
LondonAges 50 years+ - NCT07660211RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment (177Lu-PSMA-VG01) that targets a protein called PSMA on prostate cancer cells. It's for men whose cancer has spread and hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06689254RecruitingPhase 2
Testing mifepristone for hard-to-treat PTSD in Dutch adults
This study tests a new medicine (mifepristone) to see if it helps people with PTSD that hasn't improved after standard treatments. You must be fluent in Dutch and have tried at least two PTSD treatments, including trauma-focused therapy.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07640191Recruiting
New Nerve Stimulation Device for Hard-to-Treat Epilepsy
This study tests a new implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) to help reduce seizures in people whose epilepsy doesn't respond well to medications. The device is surgically placed under the skin and may help lower how often you have seizures.
Herston, QueenslandAges 4–75 - NCT07641049RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) designed to target and fight advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone treatments. The cells are engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells that have specific markers (PSMA and PSCA) on their surface.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07643948Recruiting
How HIV Treatment Changes Affect Drug Resistance
This study follows people with HIV whose virus is well-controlled on current medications to understand how switching to a different HIV drug regimen affects the virus's ability to resist those drugs. The goal is to help doctors choose the safest treatment switches.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07643558Recruiting
Fish oil and weight training for cancer patients' muscle health
This study tests whether taking fish oil supplements combined with progressive weight training exercises can help preserve or build muscle strength in cancer patients undergoing treatment. The goal is to help you maintain physical function and quality of life during cancer care.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07634224Recruiting
Energy Transfer Therapy for Tennis Elbow Pain
This study tests whether a special energy-based therapy (called capacitive and resistive energy transfer) can reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow—a common overuse injury of the outer elbow. You'll receive this non-invasive treatment and have your progress tracked over time.
Gaziantep, GaziantepAges 18–65 - NCT07632911Enrolling by invitation
How Exercise Affects Your Immune System
This study looks at how different types of exercise—aerobic (like running) and resistance (like weightlifting)—change how your immune system works. Researchers will track your immune health over time to understand which exercise style might boost immunity best.
MalatyaAges 18–35 - NCT07627919Recruiting
Strength training and high-protein diet for frail older women
This study tests whether combining resistance exercises with a protein-rich diet can improve muscle strength and overall function in older women with weak muscles. You would attend supervised workouts and follow a specific eating plan for several weeks.
El-Sheikh Zayed CityAges 60–70 - NCT07625202Recruiting
Creatine Supplements During GLP-1 Weight-Loss Therapy
This trial tests whether adding creatine (a natural muscle-building supplement) helps preserve muscle and strength while taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy. These medications help with weight loss but can sometimes cause muscle loss, so researchers want to see if creatine prevents that.
Saskatoon, SK - SaskatchewanAges 18 years+ - NCT05840497Recruiting
Exercise program to help lower gestational diabetes risk
This trial tests whether a strength and resistance exercise program during pregnancy can help reduce gestational diabetes in people who are overweight or obese. It may help by improving how your body handles sugar during pregnancy.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT05670847RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ketone drinks for drug-resistant epilepsy
This trial tests whether taking “ketone ester” supplements can reduce seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help by changing how the brain uses energy, but you must meet several safety and diet-related conditions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,198 recruiting resistance 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 resistance 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 resistance 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.
