Genetic study of healthy and frail aging
This study looks at genes and aging by comparing healthy people, those who are not healthy or frail, and those who are frail. You'll provide blood samples and get MRI scans to help researchers understand aging better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 20–120 - NCT07753681Recruiting
Chronic disease care in Zambia
This study helps improve care for people with long-term illnesses like diabetes or high blood pressure in Zambia. It aims to make sure you get regular check-ups and support.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges Any age - NCT07753603RecruitingPhase 3
Linsitinib for active moderate to severe thyroid eye disease
This study tests an experimental pill (linsitinib) for people with active thyroid eye disease. Participation may help reduce eye bulging and other symptoms, especially if other treatments haven't worked.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT05656378Recruiting
Storing samples to study how the body interacts with microbes
This study creates a storage bank of biological samples like blood, stool, and tissue. Researchers will use these samples to learn how the body interacts with the natural microbes that live in and on us, which may help improve treatments for many diseases.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT01780168Recruiting
Study of metabolism, infection, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–115 years - NCT07752849Recruiting
Platelet-rich fibrin gel for cleft palate repair
This study compares two types of gel made from the patient's own blood, with or without an antibiotic, applied during cleft palate surgery to see if they improve healing and reduce complications.
SanaaAges 3 months–18 years - NCT07752732Recruiting
Heart scans for amyloidosis in people with severe aortic valve stenosis
This study looks at how often cardiac amyloidosis occurs in people with severe aortic valve stenosis. It uses different heart scans to find out more. If you have both conditions, this research may help doctors understand your situation better.
TübingenAges 18 years+ - NCT04216927RecruitingPhase 3
Neonates on heart-lung bypass get NO to prevent kidney injury
This Phase 3 study tests whether not giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass in newborns helps reduce the risk of acute kidney injury. It focuses on newborns having heart surgery for congenital heart disease.

Common questions
- How many genetic & congenital clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 3,863 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,730 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.
