Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04104607RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a PSMA-targeted immune drug for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new drug that aims to attach to PSMA on prostate cancer cells and activate T-cells (an immune cell type) to attack the cancer. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy, especially after several prior treatments.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04124341Recruiting
Brain implant study for severe treatment-resistant depression
This study tests a brain stimulation implant (called PCS) to help people with long-lasting depression that has not improved with many antidepressant treatments. It also uses brain scans and monitoring sessions to better understand how the treatment works and who may benefit.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22–70 - NCT04126369Recruiting
Mindfulness program to improve quality of life in drug-resistant epilepsy
This trial tests whether a mindfulness training program can improve quality of life for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It looks at whether learning mindfulness skills helps you cope day-to-day alongside your usual treatment.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT04243720Recruiting
Study of immune resistance after immunotherapy
This trial studies why some solid cancers stop responding to immune-based drugs (like anti–PD-1/PD-L1) and what can be done next. You may be eligible if your cancer has progressed after immunotherapy and you can safely undergo a tumor needle biopsy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04250493Recruiting
Testing insulin resistance in multiple system atrophy
This study looks at how the body handles blood sugar (insulin resistance) in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Results may help doctors understand the disease better and explore new ways to monitor or treat it.
BordeauxAges 30 years+ - NCT04260477RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new stronger TB retreatment medicine schedule
This trial tests a new “triple-dose” set of medicines to treat people whose tuberculosis (TB) has come back in the lungs. If you qualify, the goal is to improve cure rates and reduce the chance of TB returning again.
NiameyAges Any age - NCT04759001RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fecal treatment to clear gut bacteria resistant to antibiotics
This study tests a stool-based treatment (fecal microbiota treatment) to help remove “carbapenem-resistant” bacteria living in the gut. If you carry these bacteria without being sick, the goal is to reduce or stop that colonization.
RomeAges 18–90 - NCT04868604RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Copper PSMA scan and treatment for prostate cancer in men on low testosterone
This trial tests a PSMA-targeted copper medicine used after a special PSMA PET/CT scan to find and treat prostate cancer that has spread. It’s for men whose testosterone is already very low and whose cancer is growing despite hormone-blocking medicines like enzalutamide or abiraterone.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04923958Recruiting
Testing new TB screening and diagnostic tests
This study tests rapid TB screening and lab-style diagnostic methods to see how well they find TB disease and TB that is resistant to rifampin (a key TB drug). It may help doctors diagnose TB faster and more accurately, especially in people at higher risk.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,207 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.
