Interferon levels in cancer and autoimmune disease patients
This study looks at a protein called interferon in the blood of people with cancer who are starting immunotherapy, and people with certain autoimmune diseases (such as lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, or inflammatory myopathy). The goal is to compare interferon patterns and better understand immune responses.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT07240454Recruiting
Should you keep taking aspirin for a chronic brain bleed?
This trial looks at whether people with a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain) who are not having surgery should keep taking aspirin or stop it. It aims to find out which approach is safer and helps the hematoma heal better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07244081Recruiting
Movement therapy for arm use in children with cerebral palsy

- How many brain & nervous system clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 11,975 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 18,541 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.
