- NCT07401823Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term follow-up study for sickle cell disease treatment
This study is a follow-up for people with sickle cell disease who already saw a benefit in fetal hemoglobin from the earlier Pioneer study. It tests the long-term safety and effects of the study drug pociredir (also called FTX-6058) while allowing most standard sickle cell treatments except hydroxyurea.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04432623Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug for adults with beta thalassemia intermedia
This trial studies an investigational medicine in adults with beta thalassemia intermedia (including non-transfusion dependent thalassemia). The goal is to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for people whose hemoglobin runs in a certain range.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04047628RecruitingPhase 3
MS patients with active relapsing disease comparing two treatment plans
This Phase 3 study compares the best standard MS treatment (chosen by your doctors) versus an approach called autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) for people with highly active, treatment-resistant relapsing multiple sclerosis. It aims to see which option controls MS disease activity better and keeps you safer over time.

What taking part in a sickle cell disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there sickle cell disease clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 27 recruiting sickle cell disease studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a sickle cell disease study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a sickle cell disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New sickle cell disease studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
