Recruiting studies
- NCT07330050RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced lung cancer after immunotherapy failure
This trial tests a combination of WAST Cell therapy and the chemotherapy drug docetaxel for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer progressed after treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and extend survival.

Waste audit study for anesthesia staff
This study looks at how much waste is produced during anesthesia at Toronto Western Hospital. If you work in anesthesia there, you can help by taking part.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05438199Recruiting
Device study to automatically track stool and urine
This study tests a new device meant to automatically record stool and urine output. You may be asked to use specific Duke building bathrooms so the research team can see how well the tracking works.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05471752Recruiting
Study of special cells taken during orthopedic surgery
This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04883502Recruiting
Testing a technique to rebuild bone lost after injury
This study looks at a surgical method that creates an “induced membrane” to help rebuild bone after traumatic injury. It may help people whose limb bones were damaged and are missing part of the bone.
ClamartAges 18 years+ - NCT07657039Recruiting
Comparing climate impact of common orthopedic surgeries
This study looks at how much different hand and foot surgeries affect the environment. If you are having one of these procedures at Danderyd's Hospital, you may be able to help researchers learn which methods have a smaller climate footprint.
StockholmAges 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+ - NCT06697470Recruiting
Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
Boussu, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT07595562Recruiting
Testing soy milk as a calcium drink in NYC schools
This study asks whether school children in New York City find soy milk acceptable as a healthy, calcium-rich drink option. Researchers will see if kids enjoy it and whether it could be served in schools.
Elmhurst, New YorkAges 5–18 - NCT07430969Recruiting
Muscle Stimulation and Amino Acids for ICU Patients on Ventilators
This trial tests whether giving muscle stimulation and amino acids can help patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine to maintain their muscle protein. The study aims to prevent muscle wasting during critical illness.
EdeAges 18 years+ - NCT07429955Recruiting
Study on muscle and recovery after hip surgery in older adults
This trial looks at how muscle health affects your ability to get back to normal activities after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip or severe arthritis. By using MRI scans and other tests, researchers hope to understand if having less muscle makes recovery harder.
MontpellierAges 75 years+ - NCT03208062Recruiting
Biobank study using samples from hip or knee conditions
This study collects and stores biological samples to help researchers better understand muscle and bone problems like osteoarthritis, bone tumors, and infected joint implants. If you are eligible, your samples may support future research that could lead to better prevention or treatments.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07357090Recruiting
Carbon dioxide and brain waste clearance trial
This trial tests if breathing in carbon dioxide helps the brain clear waste. It may show how the brain heals after a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18–82 - NCT07075601Recruiting
Study of bacteria on heart valves during cardiac surgery
This study looks at the types of bacteria living on heart valves removed during surgery. Researchers want to learn more about these bacteria to better understand heart valve health and infections.
Toulouse, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07062562Recruiting
Can muscle stimulation prevent bed rest muscle loss?
This study tests if electrical muscle stimulation, with or without extra protein, can help prevent muscle loss during three days of bed rest. It's for healthy young adults who are active but not competitive athletes.
Wageningen, GelderlandAges 18–35 - NCT07024251Recruiting
Collecting biological samples for oral and maxillofacial research
This study collects leftover samples (like tissue, saliva, or blood) from routine dental visits or oral surgeries. The samples are used to learn more about mouth and jaw diseases, with no extra procedures needed.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06971757Recruiting
Is yearly check-up after hip or knee replacement needed?
This study looks at whether routine check-ups one year after hip or knee replacement are helpful or unnecessary. If you've had or are scheduled for a first hip or knee replacement for arthritis, you may be able to join.
AmsterdamAges 50 years+ - NCT06869850Recruiting
Special milk-enriched food for children with severe malnutrition
This study tests a special food to help children with severe malnutrition recover. The food is a peanut-based paste with added milk fat globule membrane, which may help kids gain weight and get stronger.
Bandajuma, PujehunAges 6 months–4.9 years - NCT06842732Recruiting
Text messages to prevent wasting in HIV-affected children in Kenya
This trial tests if two-way text messages (SMS) can help caregivers recognize early signs of malnutrition (wasting) in children who have HIV or were exposed to HIV but are uninfected. The goal is to prevent wasting and keep children healthy.
Homa BayAges 6 months–2 years - NCT06478160Recruiting
Closed blood-sampling system for ICU patients
This trial is testing a new way to draw blood from an arterial line that may reduce infection and blood loss. It is for adults in the ICU who need an arterial line for several days.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05519254RecruitingPhase 3
Lactoferrin and lysozyme for lasting diarrhea in young children
This trial tests whether a supplement (lactoferrin and lysozyme) can help children who have long-term effects after diarrhea. It’s designed for children ages 6 to 24 months and checks whether improving gut recovery can reduce ongoing problems.
Homa BayAges 6 months–2 years - NCT06441305Recruiting
Treating severe malnutrition in Kenyan children
This study looks at whether community health workers can help more children with severe acute malnutrition get treated. If your child is 6 months to 5 years old and has severe malnutrition, they may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for wasting?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 29 recruiting wasting 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 wasting 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 wasting 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.
