Six-week medicine switch for schizophrenia after first treatment failure
This trial tests whether a more intensive medication approach for schizophrenia (or related conditions) helps people who didn’t improve on their first tried medicine. Participants will usually switch medicines and be compared against “treatment as usual.”
InnsbruckAges 18–70 - NCT05973786RecruitingPhase 3
Six-week medicine boost for bipolar depression after first treatment fails
This trial tests whether a stronger, more active medication plan for six weeks helps people with bipolar depression who did not improve with their first prescribed treatment. It compares the intensified medication plan to usual care to see which approach works better.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT01944332Recruiting
Gamete treatment for failed fertilization in IVF or ICSI
This study looks at a treatment given to egg and sperm (gametes) when fertilization fails during standard IVF or after one ICSI attempt. If fertilization has not worked well before, this trial may test an approach to improve the chances of fertilization.
New York, New YorkAges 21–89 - NCT06904755RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for liver failure through blood purification
This trial tests whether adding mesenchymal stem cells to a blood-cleaning procedure helps people with acute liver failure recover. It may reduce inflammation and improve liver function.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06675448Recruiting
Best practices for heart failure with leaky mitral valve
This trial compares two treatment approaches for people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). It aims to find which strategy leads to better outcomes. You may be eligible if your heart function is reduced and you have symptoms despite standard treatments.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18–99 - NCT05985863RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy for acute-on-chronic liver failure
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cords can help people with acute-on-chronic liver failure, a sudden worsening of chronic liver disease. The goal is to see if this treatment improves liver function and survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06461962Recruiting
Peer support for meth-related heart screening
This study tests whether a peer support program can help people who use methamphetamine get screened for early heart damage. It aims to connect you with care if screening shows possible heart strain.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06831643Recruiting
Comparing two types of plasma exchange for children with sudden liver failure
This trial tests whether a higher volume of plasma exchange (cleaning the blood to remove toxins) works better than the standard amount for children with acute liver failure who are not improving with usual care.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 3–18 - NCT05433220Recruiting
Messaging to doctors about treating heart failure
This study tests whether sending guidance messages to your cardiologist improves how heart failure care is provided. It may help patients get the right medication plan, if they are not already on the strongest versions of the standard treatments.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05292716Recruiting
MitraClip for advanced heart failure with leaky mitral valve
This trial studies whether the MitraClip procedure can improve outcomes for people with advanced heart failure caused by significant leakage of the mitral valve. It focuses on people who still have severe symptoms and poor quality of life despite the best available heart medications.
Brescia, LombardyAges 18–90 - NCT07687186RecruitingPhase 3

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 140 recruiting treatment failure 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 treatment failure 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 treatment failure 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.
