Heart health screening and referral for early stage heart failure
This study tests whether bedside ultrasound and community health workers can help find early, symptom-free heart failure in the emergency department. If you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity, you may be able to get early screening and support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 45 years+ - NCT06769893Recruiting
New PET scan for kidney cancer staging and monitoring
This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a tracer called 68Ga-RCCB6 to see kidney cancer more clearly. It compares this scan to another PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) to help doctors stage the cancer, check treatment response, and detect any return of the disease.
Xi'an, China, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06784778Recruiting
Testing a blood test to predict immunotherapy response
This study is testing a new blood test called IOpener®-Melanoma to see if it can predict which patients with advanced melanoma will respond well to immunotherapy. The goal is to better match treatments to people who will benefit most.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06787963Recruiting
Breast milk proteins study for healthy moms
This study looks at the small proteins and peptides in breast milk and how they change over time. It aims to understand the health benefits of these components for breastfed babies, particularly when moms exclusively breastfeed for 4 months.
Córdoba, CórdobaAges birth–4 months - NCT06788366Recruiting
AI tool to predict outcomes in metastatic lung cancer
This trial is testing whether artificial intelligence can help predict how well people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) respond to immunotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy. If you have stage IV NSCLC and have started this treatment, your data may help build a better prediction tool.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06788548Recruiting
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Early Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06792162RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and targeted therapy trial for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs: carilizumab (an immunotherapy) and apatinib (a targeted therapy) for patients with unresectable stage III or IV gastric cancer that has a specific DNA repair problem (dMMR). The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06792201Recruiting
Sarcopenia study in women at different life stages
This trial looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in women who are pre-menopause or post-menopause, and whether hormone replacement therapy affects it. It aims to understand how muscle health changes over a woman's life.
BolognaAges 18–65 - NCT06792877Recruiting
Mindfulness for thinking in early Alzheimer's
This study tests if mindfulness training can help protect thinking and memory in early-stage Alzheimer's disease. It compares mindfulness to other activities to see if it slows down memory loss.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–100 - NCT06793813RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cadonilimab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it helps control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06793969Recruiting
New method to close PFO hole in heart
This trial is testing a new way to close a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) using a thin tube and a guidewire to make the procedure smoother. It's for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke and whose PFO is thought to be the cause.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for staging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,891 recruiting staging 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 staging 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 staging 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.
