AmsterdamAges 50 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05836961Recruiting
Benazir Nashonuma program for pregnant women’s nutrition
This study compares pregnancy nutrition outcomes for women who are enrolled in the Benazir Nashonuma Program versus women who are not. It may help show whether the program improves maternal and child nutritional health.
Dadu, SindhAges 18–49 - NCT06018636Recruiting
Diet and nutrition in early childhood growth
This study looks at how diet and nutrition affect young children's growth and development. It may help you learn more about feeding your child well.
Swat, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 1 day–2 years - NCT06025786Recruiting
Benazir Nashonuma Program impact on child growth
This study checks if a program called Benazir Nashonuma helps prevent stunting (being too short for their age) in children under five. It compares families enrolled in the program with those who are not, to see if it makes a difference.
Karachi, SindhAges 1 day–4.9 years - NCT06054854Recruiting
Lung Cancer Biomarker Study (BIRD Biobank)
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from people with lung nodules, suspected lung cancer, or confirmed lung cancer to find better ways to diagnose and treat the disease. By joining, you help researchers discover new biomarkers that could improve care for future patients.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06380504Recruiting
Increasing severe malnutrition treatment in Ethiopia
This trial tests ways to help more children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) get treatment in Ethiopia. If your child has SAM or is already in a SAM treatment program, they may be eligible.
JimmaAges 6 months–5 years - NCT06438900Recruiting
Studying AGEs and muscle loss in obesity and diabetes
This study is looking at how certain sugar-related proteins (called AGEs) might be linked to muscle loss in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand why muscle wasting happens in this condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for wasting?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 31 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.
