Balloon treatment study for severe diaphragmatic hernia in babies
This study tests a fetal surgery (fetoscopic tracheal balloon placement) to help lungs grow in babies with a severe hole in the diaphragm. It focuses on pregnancies where the liver is also in the chest and lung size is very small.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06740162Recruiting
Physical activity program for adults with intellectual disabilities
This study tests a program to help adults with intellectual disabilities become more physically active. You and your caregiver will work with a coach to increase your daily movement, with the goal of improving health and community connection.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06741189Recruiting
Home monitoring tool for infants with heart defects
This trial tests a home monitoring tool for babies and toddlers with congenital heart defects who had surgery at Nantes University Hospital. It aims to see if remote tracking can help improve care at home.
NantesAges birth–3 years - NCT06741995Recruiting
Testing antibodies to predict heart muscle disease progression
This study looks at whether certain antibodies (proteins in your blood) can help predict how dilated cardiomyopathy will progress. By testing your blood, researchers hope to learn more about your condition and find better ways to manage it.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06742697Recruiting
Exercise program to improve walking in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
This study tests a combined exercise program with flexibility, strength, aerobic, and movement training to see if it helps improve walking in adults with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Participants attend at least 10 supervised sessions over several weeks.
Bosisio Parini, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06743659Recruiting
Decision support tool for familial high cholesterol
This trial tests a computer tool that helps doctors identify and manage people with familial high cholesterol. It aims to improve care for those who may not yet have a diagnosis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06747858RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new inhaler medicine for cystic fibrosis
This study tests an experimental inhalable medicine called ARCT-032 for people with cystic fibrosis who cannot take or benefit enough from current CFTR modulators. The goal is to see if it safely improves lung function and quality of life.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06748248Recruiting
Suspension therapy for mobility and balance in Down syndrome
This trial tests if suspension therapy (a type of physical therapy using supportive straps or harnesses) can help children with Down syndrome improve their ability to move and keep their balance. It may be a helpful option for children who can already stand and walk but want to get stronger and more stable.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 3–6 - NCT06749366Recruiting
Finding Genes Linked to Cartilage Tumors and Blood Vessel Issues
This study uses genetic testing to find genes that cause certain types of cartilage tumors and blood vessel problems. If you or your child has one of these conditions, joining could help doctors understand what causes them and find better treatments.

Common questions
- How many genetic & congenital clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,779 we cover in this area in total.
- What does “Genetic & congenital” cover here?
- Inherited and congenital conditions present from birth or written into the genes. We group each study into genetic & congenital 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 genetic & congenital trial near me?
- Use the search to filter genetic & congenital 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.
