Gene therapy trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in young boys
This trial tests a new gene therapy called SPOT-03 to see if it can help the body make dystrophin, a protein that is missing in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It is for boys ages 2 to under 8 who can still walk at least 10 meters.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2–7 - NCT07188415Recruiting
CMT Gait, Mobility, and Balance Study
This study looks at how CMT affects walking, balance, and movement. It compares two groups of people with CMT: those who use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and those who have had surgery to correct a foot deformity. The goal is to understand which approach works better for improving mobility.
North Liberty, IowaAges 25–55 - NCT07189325RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two ways to manage relapsing-remitting MS
This trial tests if it's safe to stop or reduce anti-CD20 treatment after several years of stable disease, compared to continuing it. It's for people with relapsing-remitting MS who are at least 40 years old and have had no MS activity for the past 3 years on anti-CD20 therapy.
MontpellierAges 40 years+ - NCT07189494Recruiting
Early brain markers for better outcomes in newborns
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
ParisAges birth–2 years - NCT07189936RecruitingPhase 2
Testing 2-HOBA for Immune Issues in Long COVID with POTS
This trial tests if a medication called 2-HOBA can help with ongoing immune system issues in people with Long COVID who also have POTS. It aims to reduce fatigue and other symptoms by calming overactive immune responses.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07190092Recruiting
Brain stimulation for post-stroke muscle stiffness and movement
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (deep anterior cerebellar stimulation) to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people who had a stroke 9–36 months ago and still have tightness or weakness that hasn't gotten better with therapy.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT07190300RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing tulmimetostat with hormone therapy for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, tulmimetostat, combined with standard hormone therapies like darolutamide or abiraterone for men with metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to hormone treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than standard therapy alone.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07190404Recruiting

- 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.
