Study of NBI-1065890 for tardive dyskinesia in adults
This trial tests whether an oral medication, NBI-1065890, can reduce the involuntary muscle movements caused by long-term use of antipsychotic drugs. It is for adults with moderate to severe tardive dyskinesia who also have a stable mental health condition like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
Bryant, ArkansasAges 18–75 - NCT07369076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing NB-4746 for people with ALS
This study tests an investigational drug called NB-4746 for people with ALS. The goal is to see if it can slow the progression of the disease. It is for people diagnosed within the last couple of years who are still able to eat and breathe on their own.
Concord, New South WalesAges 18–80 - NCT07361705RecruitingPhase 1
Zorifertinib and osimertinib for lung cancer that spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a new drug, zorifertinib, combined with osimertinib for people whose lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain (meninges) and continued to grow despite osimertinib treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the brain spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07369011RecruitingPhase 3
Study of eloralintide for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication called eloralintide to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people who are overweight or have obesity. You will receive either the study drug or a placebo (inactive shot), and your sleep and weight will be monitored over time.

- Clin2 is tracking 11,952 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 18,491 we cover in this area in total.
- What does “Brain & nervous system” cover here?
- Conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves — including stroke, dementia, and movement disorders. We group each study into brain & nervous system based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a brain & nervous system trial near me?
- Use the search to filter brain & nervous system studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
